Skeering Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Resistance DayExplosive Push UpsUneven Chin Ups: 7/7, 7/7Tuck Jumps: 2, 2, 2Assisted Pistol Squats: 10/10, 10/10One Arm Hangs: 45sec each sideClutch Hangs: 1 second each sideCalf Raises (straight legs, half ROM); 75, 75, 75, 75 I’m amazed how fast my chin ups have improved in one week. After taking 2 weeks off them I regained my strength today, next week I’m hoping to make a new PR Tuck Jumps were good, I’ll stick them out for another few weeks as the next step is quite hard.Squats were really good, aligning your legs in pistols is a bit*h though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeering Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Tuck jumps are tough. I have had them in my burpees, they are killing me.They are hard aren't they? My biggest hurdle is getting enough air time to really squeeze in my legs to my chest. GOOD DAY OF TRAINING TODAY Resistance DayTuck Jumps: 8Straight Bridges: 40, 40, 40 (up from 40, 26, 22 last week)Pop Ups: 2×5Crowstands: 40sec, 45sec, 60secHeadstand: 90secElevated Dips: 15, 15 Had a great day training. I improved vastly in straight bridges this week. The three sets of 40 I got today means it’s time to leave the exercise and start working with something harder, angled bridges will be my next tormentor! I was only supposed to go for 30 sec on crow stands today, but I’ve been practicing it all week since I know it’s more skill based for me at this time since I have the strength necessary. On my third set I just got 60 sec which is ALSO progression standard I might advance to handstands next week or stay with crows a bit longer, I haven’t decided yet. I always add in dips on Fridays since my upperbody work is isometric right now. I was surprised to find that I could do 15,15 today first time. I guess that means I’ll advance that to “Feet up Parallel Bar Dips” next week. Really trilled with how today went! And last night I went out to a pub, stayed up till past midnight and (had a glass of wine ) So many smile faces in this post, that’s a good sign!

Skeering Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 looks like a great workout. I love pullups and pushupsThanks, I'm doing the 50-500 reps range on them to finish up healing my left wrist. I'm quite excited about the squats though, I think I'll finally get my pistol pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeering Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 God sorry everyone I'm terrible at updating this diary. Right now I am doing a full body workout every 48 hours. I was inspired by Overcoming Gravity (Steven Low). Negative Handstand Push Ups: 4x7 secChin ups/Pull up variationsAssisted One arm push upsRowsLeg raisesSquatsBridges/L-sits/twists Then I do a lot of static stretch work for my front and side splits especially. I wish to eventually work toward a press handstand but first I want to obtain handstand push ups, one arm push ups, one leg pistol squats, Full leg raises. Steven Low recommends 3x8-10 reps for each exercise and 2 push/pull/leg movements. I am mostly going for 2x10 before progressing the exercises, but for some uneven work I half that in order to compensate for the additional work needed. It's going really well! Getting stronger like clockwork. I still use the CC progressions but I am using a different approach with WAY more volume. Two guys suggested that to me here a while ago am I am finally listening I'll come back to updating this diary again, truth be told I had given up on it, but I will start again. Sorry @Riky did I answer your question? I don't do explosives anymore, my body wont be able for them until I am stronger I think, maybe in 6 months. I am going for 2x10 in each progression before advancing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
