TR vs the future
-
had one of those really sucky days today; golf, sunshine, beer and food all day!!<br />
<br />
I did quite well, decided to drive so I wouldnt go silly on the beer, so feeling fine (was a day off today anyway)<br />
<br />
Havent been for a run for 2 weeks so will get out tomorrow afternoon me thinks, body feels like it needs a real aerobic blow out! -
almost killed myself running up one of the tracks to the summit of Parahaki/Parihaka, the run down was so much easier, if not too easy!<br />
<br />
Think it will be a regular thing, is a track me and 2 mates used to run when we were playing rugby, and it was alot easier back then.... -
just fashioned myself up a bit of a crude dip station in the garage! Been thinking about some other exercises to do and this was one!!<br />
<br />
Feeling pretty good despite my hard run yesterday so will still do a bit of legs in todays workout.<br />
<br />
Havent lost any weight since Monday, but I have upped my intake a bit (havent gained either) so sitting at 94kg, I think I'd like to lose another kg or so, which will enable me to keep under 95 alot easier. -
on Sunday did a good workout, BBThrusters was a part of it. Awesome, legs and shoulder still feeling it today, arms and ab in that workout too.<br />
<br />
Rest day yesterday, cracked into my dip station today, it does the job, as crude as it is <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
Feeling bloody good after a pretty hardout weekend where I pushed myself pretty hard with my run on sat and the BBThrusters on Sunday!! -
since I've upped my calorie intake a bit, my weight has stabalised at ~94-94.3kg, I'd probably like to lose another kg, but am happy where I am for now, just need to work on shaping my muscles.<br />
<br />
With my measurements, arms, legs, chest all seem to be pretty much the same as when I started back in beginning of JAn, but lost 6.5cm form around the middle, which is the worst area so thats good news, I expect the others are just firmer... -
workout today;<br />
<br />
BBThrusters 1 x 20 2 x 15 (30kg)<br />
Press ups 3 x 20<br />
Bicep curls 3 x 20 (20kg)<br />
pull ups 3 x 10<br />
burpees 1 x 20 2 x 15<br />
punch bag 3 x 20 LLR & 20 RRL<br />
skip 1 x 100 2 x 50<br />
kettle bell swings 1 x 20 2 x 15<br />
<br />
first set took a shade under 8 minutes to complete (although there was no rushing between exercises) didnt bother timing the next 2, will need to vary it a little as there was a bit too much shoulder work in there, although this will likely be a once a week kind of workout given is short and sharp but damn hard work!! -
went for my run today, felt a bit of a tweak in one of my calves yesterday while thorwing my son around at the pools (in a nice way) so decided again running up Parahaki again as it is straight up hill with loads of steps, so did a more gentle but longer run; 6.5km, felt pretty damn good TBH

Yep short and sharp are much more my cup of tea. You hear about people who spend "hours in the gym" but going hard out for 15-20 minutes is way more beneficical than fucking round between sets if you ask me. ( although in saying that good rests between lifting heavy are obviously hugely important ) maybe I am totally contradicting myself.......<br />
<br />
Sounds like you're training the house down though pal, well done. -
dunno about training the house down, just enjoying the variety

haha, socialising with my kids in the garage <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /><br />
<br />
mine are usually about 40 mins long, although the Saturday one was more like a shade under 30 mins of actual exercise, but pretty intense.<br />
<br />
Defo gonna have to invest in some more weights and probably a squat rack, as I am just doing more reps on some exercises than higher weights now...shame they are so expensive (anywhere from $2 to $3.50 a kg for weights) -
ran up Parihaka again yesterday, pushed myself alot further before I reached some of the many steps I needed to walk up, timed run this time, 34.45mins<br />
<br />
Is 1.7km up, and about 2.2km back down; starts at an elevation of 32m down to sea level and upto 239m<br />
<br />
Chest, back and ab workout, finished with 6mins on the punch bag and then as many 10kg medicine ball squat and presses as I could do in 3 minutes (74) which considering I was struggling to do 20+ in 1 go about 2.5 months ago, is pretty good.<br />
<br />
First weight loss in 2 weeks; 93.6kg -
I have stopped trying to lose weight and have upped my calories and have been a little more relaxed on some meals too, as I am happy to try and maintain myself around 93-94
-
ran up Parahaki again yesterday, really struggled going up and felt I walked a fair few more steps than last week, so really pushed it coming down and then all but sprinted the final 200 or so that is up hill and beat my time from last week by a bit over 3 mins. <br />
<br />
But man it feels great once finished! -
Top stuff mate, I've managed to cut a few K's aswell in the last month or so. Tell you what, cutting the 'between meal' snacks like chocolate bars and lollies works well for me.<br />

<br />
Heres a good core maintanance workout I do atleast 5 times a week, may not work for everyone, but has done wonders for me..<br />

love that sprint to the end when you run. [b]Or as sprint as you can get when knackered[/b]!<br />

<br />
haha yep, thats about right!!<br />
<br />
@J77 - will give that a crack, chuck that in a couple times a week, I find it hard to really get the ab's burning...did hanging knee ups pushing the feet to the ceiling the other day, 5 x 10 and even though I was in pain doing it, next day there was practically no burn -
was at my Chiropractors this morning and he was telling me Sam Warriner does the same run up Parahaki and can do it in 8 mins (just the run up) which is very fast given I reckon it must take me around 20 mins, in fact she does laps of the run <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/idiot2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':idiot2:' />
