Building myself back up

Swimming this morning. Woken up early by cat. Ginger cnut. He comes in every morning at about 4 and seems to have a fervent need to announce his presence. Meeows like a bitch and then runs round like a lunatic. Stupid arsehole has a catflap but the way he goes through it you'd think he was entering a farking time portal for the first time. Did I mention he's a ginger as well. Båstard.
Anyway I usually do swim then run but Obergruppenführer Coach was there and had other ideas. We a did 1.5 km warm-up then 10x100 with 10 pushups and 10 squats in between). Half the 100s had a 25 max effort to start and the other half had 50 max efforts. So you did the pushups and squats then jumped straight in the pool for the max efforts. Yep. Totally fooked.

Was at a birthday party on Saturday night. Didn't have many but was bloody tired pretty much passed out. Must have slept in a weird position because arm was aching like hell.
Resolved to actually rest it this week so nothing but running, abs and legs for me this week. Was pissed off missing swimming but I need to get this right before I furk it up even more.
Running on Monday reminded me how shit running generally is. I'm down with the cardio but road running is crap. Massacres the knees as well.
-
Shit almost a week.
Gave shoulder a rest. Not perfect but I can get by. Unfortunately I appear to sleep in the worst possible position for it so any rest during the day is ironically ruined when I sleep. Will have to get to physio eventually.
Great session this morning. Did intervals for 30 minutes then jumped in the pool. Did 500m of warm-up then der Führer drew up a brutal set for in and out of pool. 10 dips then 25 max effort. 10 crunches, 10 squats with medicine ball then 25 max kick. 10 push-ups, 10 ballslams then 25 max effort. 10 burpees then lunges beside the pool. Not sure how many I did but it was alot.
Really enjoyed this. Was doing bulk intervals during lockdown so I'm geared towards this. Hopefully alot more of this as the summer progresses.
-
Shit this week has gone quickly.
Back and tris in the am and swimming in the pm yesterday. Shoulder still not 100% but getting there.
Today was legs. Not bad.
-
Gets tough when we cop injuries from sleeping!!
-
Shoulder doing ok. Used cannabis oil, which I'm highly skeptical about but seems to be effective.
Saturday swim then run went he he swimmingly. Looks like I'm being roped in to swim a 400 at the final swimming club night. Just hope I finish the båstard and don't get lapped by too many 10 year olds.
Have a boot camp on Wednesday. Never done one of those. Hope it's worth the 12 bucks.

Kommandant von Bästard back today and he apparently produced this set while brushing his teeth before he left this morning.
500m warm-up of various shit....then
400m (first 100 max) then 40 mb squats, 40 pushups, 40 shoulder press, 40 mb lifts
Then that was repeated but with 300 and 30, 200 and 20 and 100 and 10.
That first 400 was hard but actually went really well. Feeling amazing but I suspect I will hit that wall later.

Reading this had inspired me to get out on the deck on the Bach and do some core work and TUT diamond push ups. Aw hang on, it’s raining. Might crack a beer instead, I am on holiday after all.

Because no one is attracted to a fat fluffybunny that’s why.
These last few days have been all about breweries and pub grub. Awesome blow out....we had planned a few bush walks ( and the other half did the Waitomo trail run ) but the weather is putting a stop to that for the time being.
Back into the routine midweek assuming my extra weight doesn’t ruin the suspension on the car.

Chest and biceps this morning. Went pretty well. Guns in particular well pumped. Got some mean ab exercises as well these days. Yeah good session.
-
3 sessions yesterday 😳.
Boot camp in morning, weights at lunch and swimming at night. Slept very well.Boot camp was pretty good. Can understand why these are popular. 40sec at different stations. Worst was pushups, dips, burpees then battle ropes. Nasty but awesome.

Those are great fun for explosive power.

Yeah hadn't done them for years. Good stuff. Would happily do the boot camp instead of jogging.

Thursday: Was pretty sapped after the previous day's overload, but had a decent leg day.
Friday: Shoulders. Finding shoulder press with kettle bells is the bomb. Late to the party on that one but good shit.
Coach Hitler von Bästard Fücker is filling in for swimming again tomorrow so I'm expecting to get right royally fooked up.

I’d happily work out with nothing but ropes, rocks, tires and a punching bag for the rest of my life.

As long as it's heavy enough. Got pretty primitive during lockdown. Had a bucket full of bricks. There will be a massive glut of cheap, barely used gym equipment on the market when Covid is officially over.
