Project X
-
<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.

<p>This is the toughest time aside from being injured I reckon. Life can be a real pain when it comes to training or keep your momentum going.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you can avoid getting back into bad eating habits you should bounce back quick once you are training again.</p> -
<p>First scheduled exercise for almost ten days tonight - Karate. First class back for the term, and the boy has given up on it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: "That's OK, but ..."</p>
<p>Him: "But what?"</p>
<p>Me: "There is no other sport available this time of year around here, so ..."</p>
<p>Him: "So what?</p>
<p>Me: "Your only option besides karate is working out with me in the garage at night"</p>
<p>Him: "That's OK"</p>
<p>Me (quizzically): "The same boy who gives up after the first ten reps of anything?"</p>
<p>Him: "I promise it'll be better this time!"</p>
<p>Me (trying not to snort in derision): "OK. Tomorrow night then"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Actually I'm kind of happy. Means I (selfishly) get to do karate without looking over my shoulder, and get a chance to work on his strength and try and combat the fat he's putting on, or at least smooth it out a little with some muscle. And give him some confidence too. If I can at least get 10 minutes out of him first time, we'll be getting somewhere... He'll be sore the next morning though...</p> -

Exercise for the day: putting up with the Mrs TA's emotional shit as the prospect of moving out of our house of thirteen years starts to form as a reality in her mind.
Honestly she only wanted to do it because one of her friends moved to an even nicer, newer place than the vapid, skinny, tart had already. Mrs TA promptly got all moist about the nice kitchens we saw in display homes in the area.
Now she's having a fucking moment about it all, thinking about the fact it's our first home, our kids have never lived anywhere else etc etc.
If I'd have known she was going to get all weepy like this I could have easily sold her on a kitchen renovation and saved myself a couple of hundred K. Admittedly the prospect of a bigger garage appeals...
Jeez-o-fkn-pete I reckon the Red Baron is due in on the next train the way this is looking. Hopefully the slimy fluffybunnys we put in charge of selling it get us what we want.
Besides that it was 37 degrees here today so fuck exercise.
Peace out.

<p>Yeah Morty is well freckled though. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Walked twice this week for 3km each. One at work, one this morning after trying to run again. Looks like that left Achilles hasn't come good even after long rest, so will get into the physio and see what's up with my alignment there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Contemplating a quick lifting session... or a beer. Stay tuned.</p> -
Only noticed it when I started running again after that rugby tournament, so I reckon I've probably had a rib popped which messes with my whole back/hip alignment. Walking isn't the same, I can tolerate that, though I've noticed a twinge in my right quad when I do so.<br /><br />Will try to get in with the physio next week to get it straight. Then I'll get back to short, sharp runs (5 km or less) and sprint training

Bit of a change up tonight - went back and did a Shift Weight (Pull ups and push press starting with 5 of each then dropping 1 per at fail - 20 minutes):<br /><br />5s: 4<br />4s: 8<br />3s: 4<br />2s: 8<br />1s: 1<br /><br />Total reps = 81<br />Weight was 94 kg me + 50kg weight = 144kg.<br /><br />Total shifted is therefore: 11664kg.<br /><br />Not bad for first time back.
