Let's try again...

Hiked in the Blue Mountains today - some really vertical shit going on there including passing a landslide via cable mounted in the cliff wall! About 18 km in under 5 hours - the GPS got most of it OK.<br />
<br />
Altitude varied between 400 and 1050 apparently. -

90.8 this morning without really trying. School holidays and my turn to look after the kids - mini golf, movie, lunch at Gourmet Pizza Kitchen. Tomorrow I might head up the mountains and show them some awesome lookout action<br />
<br />
Did my cat voms routine tonight after seeing the Chiro and getting some muscle release and activation done. Jeez it tires you out!<br />
<br />
Got my next round of arse cam on Monday so a few days of light eating and some light exercise should see me under 90 by the time I've finished the prep... -
Pull up routine tonight:<br />
9, 7, 5, 5, 4<br />
4, 5, 4, 4, 4*<br />
4, 4, 4, 4*, 4*,<br />
4, 3, 4<br />
Total 82 with 3 cheats in a tick over 20 minutes<br />
<br />
Minute rest, 25 pushups.<br />
Minute rest, 10 pushups as Mrs TA decided to come out to the garage and break my concentration with some shite.<br />
Minute rest, 10 pushups.<br />
<br />
Minute rest, 10 Arnies @ 14 kg.<br />
<br />
Edit: another 5 pushups when I got inside, just to make 50 -
After failing to conquer my desire to sleep in the last few weeks, I finally dragged myself out for a run this morning.<br />
<br />
5.02 km in 24:40 - the 5 km mark was 24:28 which was a new PB by 14s. Not sure how that last 20m equates to 12 s but I'll take it.<br />
<br />
Walked home the long way - 2.81km in 24:50 -
So, sitting here just after 6PM, having fasted all day for the colonoscopy tomorrow. Quite frankly I still don't know why I agreed to go ahead with my second one in 12 months, but then I have a feeling I should trust this surgeon more than the last idiot. He's a specialist in the area rather than the general numpty I got put onto last time. If they find some cancer I'll buy him a beer... not sure I want to shake his hand though...<br />
<br />
But that doesn't make fasting suck any less.<br />
<br />
My advice is, don't ever get in this situation. I like food too much to do it again, and I doubt whether it will do anything meaningful for my weight loss... at least until I have to get up at 5AM tomorrow and start slurping down the colon blow... -
If nothing else, hopefully the prep will get me under 90kg <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Good luck bro, hope they warm up the instruments before the music starts!! Good on you for taking your Doc's advice and getting checked out, safety first yo!
-
They didn't find anything bad which is good. But the doctor wants to get another issue he noticed.<br />
<br />
To be honest I'm not that keen to go back in at this point because I need to work on my fitness more. Plus the solution sounds like making a cut to fix a cut.<br />
<br />
Ran 5 km this morning in 24:43... Though the audio feedback from my app said 24:41<br />
<br />
Whatever. It means sub-5 kilometres which is what I'm aiming for -

<br />
It didn't. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> -
Won't be under 90 at this point due to a relaxed eating day. Didn't get to buy the car as the dealers we called were all shut!<br />
<br />
Pull up routine tonight - cheats marked<br />
<br />
10, 6, 5, 5, 5<br />
4, 4, 4, 4, 4<br />
4, 5, 5, 4, 5*<br />
4, 5*, 4<br />
<br />
83 with 2 cheat reps = 81. Progress.<br />
<br />
The shit thing is, once I come off those first few sets, I'm only doing about 8-10 seconds of exercise for every minute of rest... Suppose that is the point -
Good work. How's your form? Strict and slow? That's a heap of pull-ups!<br />
<br />
[u]Well, the point would be doing 5 reps in 20 seconds (slower with still hang at bottom for 1-2 seconds) then having 30 seconds rest, and doing that for 20 minutes.[/u]<br />
<br />
Keep what you are doing up till June, then switch to 30 second breaks. Be consistent all Winter and you will be bloody strong come the Spring. Then you'll have to increase the reps-once every two weeks have long breaks, doing your max reps each time)<br />
Doing dips?<br />
<br />
For me, I'm going to take it slow for another month, then do the same as you. My next target is 100 pull ups in 10 sets, with untimed breaks. I did 61 in 6 sets, so it's possible, but tough.
