Im working towards squatting with my heels together, but at the moment I can't get the full range of motion ( I just fall over backwards) so I have invented the Squat-o-meter!

Each week I will close the gap inch by inch, until I can squat with my heels touching and a full range of motion.

MUST TOUCH TOES. But if i'm honest it's still a long way off!

 

Day 14 was awesome. Every time I do one of these videos I get annoyed that i'm so in-fexible, then by the end i'm stoked that I got a little closer to my goals.

 

The GMB Routine i'm following.

[hoxton]

Right back after my last challenge which was awesome.

Super stoked with the progress I have made so far.

 

I am still having wrist issues, although it gets better week on week. I am currently working on paralettes which allow me to do pressing movements without aggravating my wrists.

 

Also I am working on the dirty rice workout to try an strengthen my extensors etc.

 

 

This is HARD!
