Mr_Willes Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 The swelling of the ankle won't give up without a fight, though there is just a minor swelling left.

Mr_Willes Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I did my first lifting workout yesterday. It has almost been a month! Some upperbody work, felt good to get back to the grind. Important to get that first step out of the way. Also i bought a new scale, and have nerded out a bit on google spreadsheet to do some tracking, i'm in terrible shape and stuff needs to happen. Thankfully i was wise enough to cut down on KCAL now that i'm not exercising as much. I already went from 82-83 before the StrongViking to sub 80 this morning. Lifting workout: OHP 1x5@17.5 1x5@27.5 1x5@37.5 1x5@42.5 5x5@45 BP 1x5@17.5 1x5@27.5 1x5@37.5 1x5@47.5 5x5@55 Pullups: 5/4/3/3/3 Close Grip BP 1x5@17.5 1x5@27.5 1x5@37.5 1x5@42.5 5x5@45 BB Curl: 1x5@17.5 1x5@22.5 5x5@27.5 7 Quote ... a little odd in the head ...

Mr_Willes Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 2 weeks, really.... damn but still alive, just extremely busy! Work is ugh Saturday i leave for my vacation as a tourguide in spain, so i had some preppin to do, both myself as my bike. Weather is super hot here. Tomorrow last preps. After the vacation it's back to business i'm gonna reboot CF and will set up a new challenge. If i have a chance i will put up some pics here. Weight is dropping slowly but steadily, solidly under 80 now, hopefully will lose a few kg before my next OCR (second half of september). See you guys in a week, i promise i will be more active again! It's just doing this "new" thing has got my mind so occupied, combined with the fact work just seems like a blackhole, like Eminem put it, "honestly i'm exhausted". So some new structure will be much appreciated, next week, after my "vacation". 7 Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment

Charlie_Quinn Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Have fun on your vacation. I'll try not to be too jealous. I've been staring longingly at pictures of the CBR500 for the last few weeks.

Mr_Willes Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Back from Spain. Had a fantastic time there. Next time i'm gonna take an extra day off afterwards. Sliding back into the swamp at work the day after isn't much fun. But some things to let you guys know: - Travelguiding went very good! - Did add on a bit of extra weight, but not as much as i expected, so win - Super super busy at work (still) - Back to CF with my ankle which still isn't fully healed up I will try to upload some pics to imgur and post here today... Good to be back (for a short while, 9 days till i leave for Italy)!!! 6 Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment

Mr_Willes Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Oow yeah tuesday was my first CF after the OCR. - Warm up to a 3x5 max BenchPress with 3 second eccentric movement 5/5/3 @ 65 KG - SkiErg 3x5min with 2min break inbetween Did this instead of the 3x5min with 2min break row, firstly because we were with 6 with only 5 rowers, and second because the instructor was closely monitoring my ankle and made me stand on my toes for the 2nd and 4th minute of every set. - 30 20" 3sec/3sec step ups 30 right and 30 left, 3 seconds going up and 3 seconds going down As you could have guessed this being my first serious workout since the SV in may: 7 Quote ... a little odd in the head ...

Mrs Van Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Oh wow! I wouldn't mind driving those passes. Brandt taught me how to drive on our "Long Tom Pass" in Sabie, years ago. It's nothing like these photos! Only one place that is called The Devil's Knuckles, might come close, oh and maybe Coffee Heights (Koffiehoogte). Eish what a workout!

When i started the last round i didn't think i would make it till the end. And the last few inches were gruesome, but i finished, after that i did a few log presses but not with much intend, and i just sat there after the workout for about 20 minutes, just regaining a bit of myself. 2 hours ago, Raxie said: Well I clearly need to be following along this BL Yes you do, and thanx for dropping by! 3 Quote ... a little odd in the head ...

Sounds like a good plan - when life gets busy make sure the foundations are solid man. Yeah it feels like i need some sort of reset. Just get the basics covered and build momentum. Going back here to my battle log was part of that. I have an easy couple of weeks in front of me, very good to get me psychologically prepped to attack christmas days and new year. Not much fuss, just grind grind grind. On 18-11-2017 at 12:34 AM, maegs said: Excellent strategy for dealing with a busy time! Have fun! Thanx, Much fun was had. Friday was a bad day on the drinking front, i think i managed to empty half a case of beer. And i paid for that the next day, was feeling off with a headache till halfway in the afternoon. Good thing about this was the fact i didn't drink much on Saturdayevening. Still eating wasn't the best, though much fun was had. There was a mancave in our friends house where we were able to play some pool and darts. Much fun was had. Two of the most memorable moments was: the moment my friend needed a bulls eye to win his game of darts, just after his wife came down with a cell phone where one of his kids was calling, he casually threw the dart at the board, hitting the bulls's eye, ever so casually walking to the board point to the bull's eye and making sure everybody saw, next walking of with the cell phone still talking to his kid... Leaving us all in shock like, did, he, just, seriously, do, that? Next was my point with pool where i had to make the ball jump over the opponents ball just to not make a foul, but i accidentally scored in the side pocket Mix those 2 situations up with a few friends who all had a few drinks too much. You can imagine the fun we had. 5 Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment
