Project X
-
It's definitely on the books, but this week has been a bit interrupted. I do a set of five when I'm walking through the garage - have relocated the bar a bit higher and further from where the wife parks her car. Makes me stretch for it.<br /><br /> I'll probably start doing some gulp pull up burpees again as part of new timed work outs. Pull ups definitely going to stay part of my future

<p>Yesterday walk at work with one of the ladies (redhead, ten years younger than me, delightfully shaped in a nerdy sort of way - hella cleavage that day too). 3.12 km in 28:09.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had a bit of a sugar binge last night, so went out this morning to offset it - after the 5 km run decided to walk. Then got bored, so ran, then got bored, so walked... and ran at the end of that walk... in summary:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 km run in 26:00</p>
<p>1.17 km walk in 10:10</p>
<p>0.5 km run in 2:05</p>
<p>1.17 km walk in 8:41 - sprint finish Then weigh in:</p>

<p> </p>
<p>91.3kg, Chest 106, Waist 96, Hips 102, Calliper is about 19.5 so a little bit of loss there... Pretty good for a fairly inactive week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>EDIT: I'm weighing in a day early because I'm going camping at long last. Bit of rain around, but I'm adequately prepared for everything except Armageddon..</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Judging by Mrs TA's mood, the Red Baron is arriving in town soon so will pack a bottle of red and a blanket to <strike>sort our her whiny shit</strike> er... manage her expectations - I've been taking coaching on "tact" at work...</p> -
Circuit at home - 3 runs of:<br /><br />5 x pull up<br />5 x military press @ 50kg<br />20 x push up<br />10 x bicep curls @ 15 kg<br />20 x lunge left then right<br />20 x squat<br />10 x dead lift @ 50kg<br /><br />Circuit 1 - 6:24.

Oh and I put the last pass for one of our tries. Big islander team from some security company. Hit hard.
Second game was a draw. Got involved in both our tries. Nice take and no-look offload from the kick off for one. Through the hands for the second in the last play of the game. Kick drew it. Threw a lineout but got hammered in the scrum. Neck a bit sore.
Third game against the tournament hosts starting shortly.
-
Played about half of our last game - we were up 10-0 off the first two kick offs but they came back to 14-10 at halftime then finished over the top of us 26-10.<br /><br />Helps that they had a premier grade flyhalf to help run things, plus a few other players with obvious top club experience. But we rattled the shit out of them.
-
Played the whole of the Plate semi due to injuries but we couldn't hang onto the ball. Lost 48-0. Missed a tackle, made another, cleaned someone out (next guy in was off his feet so we gave away a penalty anyway), and ran the ball into contact for the first time that day.
Anyway, about half an hour of high paced rugby to log in the fitness app.

<p>Not a great week for exercise or eating, but I'll make it up next week, honest!</p>

<p>92.9 kg, Chest 106, Waist 97, Hips 102, Calliper about the same. Currently feeling a bit bloated from a night out. Could have addressed that with a run this morning but we have guests coming so Mrs TA has gone out to do shopping already. I've got two weeks off work so will have time every morning to bust out some weights or road work.</p> -
I'm a weak prick, but at least I know it. Lots of over eating the last couple of days. Bloody family events and over-catering wife! And lack of willpower... But that gelato was fucking delicious...<br /><br />I've seen a Cross Fit challenge on Facebook that looks like fun - have you met Murph?<br /><br />1.6 km run with 7 or 9 kg weight vest<br />100 pull ups<br />200 push ups<br />300 squats<br />1.6 km run<br /><br />In that order...<br /><br />Looks insane. Might try it while I'm on leave...

<p>Been funtin' it up while I do some repairs on the house in preparation for sale. So had spare time this afternoon to get some exercise in:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 x pull up</p>
<p>5 x push press @ 50 kg</p>
<p>5 x bicep curl @ 14kg</p>
<p>25 x push up</p>
<p>25 x lunge left then right</p>
<p>5 x bent row @ 50 kg</p>
<p>25 x squat</p>
<p>20 x dead lift @ 50kg</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Circuit 1: 7:53. Two minute rest</p>
<p>Circuit 2: 7:40. Two minute rest</p>
<p>Circuit 3: 9:20.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fucking shattered. Felt the blood vessels popping on the last dead lifts and the push ups on circuit 3 were a struggle...</p>
<p> </p> -
<p>Nice mix of cardio and lifting there bro - I need to write it down and give it a crack!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good idea to repeat I reckon, it's super satisfying when you can see clear improvement. One of the cooler things about having a set circuit like that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Go hard!!!</p> -

Left Achilles and abductor flared right up when I tried to run this morning, so now walking instead. .</p></blockquote>
Welcome to my world!!! Years ago I had no idea what people meant when they said something ....flares up..<br>
After a little accident some 18 months ago and everything that goes with that....learning to walk again etc....I now know exactly.<br>
Still stuck in a daily routine of rehab.....long, long way to go.<br><br>
Good luck with your project.....dont let that flare up get to you. Keep going. -
Slack fuck. Annual leave to look after the kids arrived at the same time Mrs TA got interested in selling our house. So all I've been doing is fixing the bloody thing up or looking after the kids! Then last week went camping with my parents to get some family time.<br /><br />Time to weigh in again:<br /><br />93.0 kg, Chest 107, Waist 98, Hips 102, Callipers about 20.<br /><br />So roughly where I left off.
