aramis Posted March 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Mar. 19th GtG pull-ups: 6x7 Jump rope: 15min Monkey bars: one way and back. Gotta work on the prongs - the ones I have are square in cross-section and have sharp edges - they hurt my palms even in gloves. Rope: up 3 meters, two times (to remember how it's done).

aramis Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Mar. 21st Postponed running for tomorrow. I'm not very well mentally due to various things, and the weather change was drastic. Yesterday was 16C and sunny with some clouds, today was 2C and freezing rain and windy. So, let's say today was a rest day Quote I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred.

aramis Posted March 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Mar. 22nd Run: 5.3km, 28:00 - pace 5:17/km (8:30/mi). Forest roads, temp oscillating around freezing point, mild snow and wind. Didn't felt like doing anything, forced myself to run anyway. No PR, but good I did it anyway. Quote I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred. But only with a dash of milk.

aramis Posted March 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Mar. 23rd Tried my max (decent form) pull-ups - still 8. Maybe I need more volume? Let's add another set. GtG pull-ups: 7x7 And in case volume isn't what I need, I will add weight here. I think adding 1-2 kg every week will be something I can do consistently for some time. Weighted pull-ups (+7 kg): 3x4 Simple&Sinister: Warmup (2x circuit): 5 x goblet squat with 24kg 5 x glute bridge 5 x halo with 16kg Main: 10 x 10 single arm swings with 24kg 4 x 1 TGU with 24kg 6 x 1 TGU with 16kg Second TGU on the left arm was bit too much - at the end of it I started to lose stability in my arm. No more pushing further until I can do it safely. Quote I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred. But only with a dash of milk. Challenges' status: Spoiler Not gonna Challenge anymore for now.

aramis Posted March 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Oops... forgot to report last days... Mar. 27th GtG pull-ups: 7x7 Weighted pull-ups (+7 kg): 3x6 Simple&Sinister: Warmup (2x circuit): 5 x goblet squat with 24kg 5 x glute bridge 5 x halo with 16kg Main: 10 x 10 single arm swings with 24kg 4 x 1 TGU with 24kg 6 x 1 TGU with 16kg All day felt a bit weak, and it showed - third and fourth TGUs with 24kg were hard as heck. ___________________________ Mar. 28th Run: 5:25km, 28:08 - pace 5:22/km (8:37/mi) I might be getting ill or something (or maybe just overtired) - again felt weak all day, and training didn't fixed that. __________________________ Mar. 29th Rest day. Gotta use it wisely to get myself back on my feet. Which will be tricky, as time change (we use DST) just robbed me from an hour of sleep. Quote I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred.

Mortimer Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Yeah take care of yourself in times like these - I read somewhere too much running can compromise your immune system as well, though I should say that to myself =P I've been copy pasting for a long time it really helps when I'm busy at work. 1 Quote Link to comment
aramis Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Mar. 30th GtG pull-ups: 7x7 Weighted pull-ups (+9 kg): 3x4 Simple&Sinister: Warmup (2x circuit): 5 x goblet squat with 24kg 5 x glute bridge 5 x halo with 16kg Main: 10 x 10 single arm swings with 24kg 2 x 1 TGU with 24kg 8 x 1 TGU with 16kg Upped the load on weighted pull-ups. On the other hand, I needed to switch to lighter kettlebell with my TGUs. I started with 24kg, but my form was very poor, I was shaking and had issues with keeping stable. Pushing with this would be plain dangerous. I think I need to work on my rest, sleep etc - for last couple days I feel tired all the time and this might be my body signalling something's wrong. Gotta investigate. Quote I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred. But only with a dash of milk. Challenges' status: Spoiler Not gonna Challenge anymore for now.

Mortimer Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Take a day off and try get more sleep, see what happens? I know I am running a sleep deficit despite working from home, maybe because I insist for cooking for the entire family. And I can't stock the fridge for an entire week because its full of junk food... 1 Quote Link to comment
aramis Posted April 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Apr. 1st GtG pull-ups: 7x7 Weighted pull-ups (+9 kg): 3x5 Simple&Sinister: Warmup (2x circuit): 5 x goblet squat with 24kg 5 x glute bridge 5 x halo with 16kg Main: 10 x 10 single arm swings with 24kg 4 x 1 TGU with 24kg 6 x 1 TGU with 16kg 24kg TGU's were still hard, but not AS hard as two days ago. In short, I managed to do 4 reps before switching to 16kg bell. I think it's not about amount of sleep, rather about it's quality. I toss and turn, wake often etc. I decided to give a try to some 10-15 min relaxation exercises in the evening - maybe this will help me sleep better.

aramis Posted April 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Apr. 2nd GtG pull-ups: 7x7 Jump rope: 15 min. 5 min in and I got a stitch. Tried to jump through it like I did couple times when running, but it was so painful I needed to stop. I tried to start jumping again, but as soon as I did, the stitch came back and forced me to stop. All I got from this was that I got angry... Definitively not my day.

Don't freak out!) Still feeling weak - to be honest this run felt more like sleepy, paralytic jog. I somehow lost this smooth feel to running. I really need to rest better.
