Goal: Squatting! How to? Squat twice a week!!! Current working weight (gone back down after getting advice on form) 50 kgs. 3 x 10 1: 3 x 10 @ 52.5 2: 1 x 10 @ 52.5, 2 x 5 @ 52.5 3: 1 x 10 @ 55, 2 x 10 @ 52.5 4: 3 x 10 @ 55 kgs 5: 3 x 10 @ 55 kgs 6: 3 x 10 @ 55 kgs 7: 3 x 10 @ 57.5 kgs 8: 3 x 10 @ 57.5 kgs 8/12 Goal: Pull-ups! (Ok, one - hopefully) How to? Deadhangs on pull-up bar at home, negatives as slowly as possible (other ideas? Let me know!) Work on this at least 3 days/week. Currently? I can manage 40-50 seconds of hanging around and I can do 3 sloooooow negatives. 12/18 Week 1: Monday & Tuesday (hanging around, having my husband assist me in one meagre assisted chin-up, hanging around and pulling myself up for... ehh, 2-3 centimetres , some negatives). Friday: active hanging around 30 seconds max. Did some negatives and a few assisted chin and pull-ups. Week 2: Did some proper work this week! Early in the week I just hang around holding on to the stairs at my parents' place, later I did some assisted and negative chin-ups at home and on Friday I did 5 negative chin-ups at the gym. It already feels a lot better and more possible Week 3: Monday practice at home, Tuesday in the gym. 4 + 5 x negatives. Sunday, at home: 5 negatives & 2 assisted chin-ups. Week 4: Tuesday practice at the gym: 5 negatives (of which 4 pull-up and 1 chin-up) Thursday: At home, partial chin-ups!!! Sunday: parents' place, 2 x 5 partial pull-ups Goal: No-internet days! How to? At least once every two weeks, a whole day without using the internet* I did this yesterday, it was lovely. I did *use 'the internet' for switching on the radio, watching a show on Crunchyroll (no TV connection, or rather, no receiver ) and to quickly check what the weather would be like. But definitely NO FB, NF or e-mail or other sometimes-interesting-sometimes-fun-but-always-time-wasting-things. 3*/3 Week 1: During holiday, so doesn't realllly count. Week 2: Wednesday, long difficult day to go internetless (/internet free) but I made it! Week 4: Thursday. Finished reading a book, did stuff in the garden, good day. Sidequest... ? I had another '2' goal (2 times/week squatting, once every two weeks a day without internet) but it slipped my mind. If I remember soon I'll add it If not, I'll leave it at this, for now. (I love coffee. Actually don't even really like pretzels... Hmmm... What's in a username?) Time for coffee...
