I really need to learn to do these posts daily cos by the time I get round to it I’ve forgotten what I did. So I’m sorry but I THINK I did the following…
Core
Ab Roller – 5 x 2 sets
Sit Ups – 10 x 2 sets
Back Extensions – 10 x 2 sets
Plank – 1:20
Forearms
Wrist Roller [...]
Just a light core and forearm workout.
Although I’ve started to notice something with these workouts. Althoguh I put the main exercises in I don’t bother with the ‘messing about’. So this time I’ll just give a section on the messing about to show the extra bits I do when ‘fidgeting’.
Main Core
Sit Ups: 10 x 2 [...]
Well its the start of my lay off week and as you’d expect I’ve not done much laying off. I hit the day with some core work then went onto forearms. That was before I even bothered with the circuits.
In case you haven’t noticed I’m also following a new programme. I was going to leave [...]
I dunno why but I love hammering the forearms with everything I can. It really makes you feel like you’ve worked out when you can’t type or write after wards.
So as you’d expect I’ve collected quite an array of different forearm exercises:
Wrist Roller (AKA: Forearm Killer): I won’t bother explaining this all over [...]
I watched Ross Enamait’s conditioning DVD last week – well part of it. Up to the skipping part, but there’s a good reason for me not going any further: I’ve been skipping wrong all my life!!
My version of skipping involved me making a two-footed jump over the rope followed by a small two-footed hop for [...]
Today is going to be a catch up day for the past few days poor performance. So here goes multiple workouts across the day and starting with…
Pull Up Bar Circuit (band assisted)
Pull Ups: 2
Chin Ups: 3
Pull Ups: 2
Chin Ups: 3
Rest 60 seconds…
Pull Ups: 3
Chin Ups: 1
Did that lot first thing in the morning. Late afternoon [...]
I couldn’t bare to do nothing all day so I did some work on the core and my forearms:
Forearms
Forearm Killer: 1 + 3 + 2 reps
Wrist Twist: 10reps x 3 sets
Core (3 circuits)
Crunches: 10 slow and controlled
Flag (kinda): This was hard and not entirely well executed but it certainly worked my abs.
Plank: 60 secs
Other than [...]
Well I’m mixing it up again here for convenience. I’m beginning to realise I may need to squeeze my workouts into unusual places. I’ve heard of calf raises in the shower – in fact I may do a post on doing exercises when you’re lacking time/place.
Today I dropped the core work because I’d wrecked my [...]
Well we’re onto the fifth day of training. I don’t know if its just in my head but I do feel better in some respects. I’m not complaining either way!
Explosive Strength
Squat Jump: 8 reps
Single Clap Half-Pushups*: 6 reps
One-legged Ankle Hops: 20 reps
Push Jerk: 5 reps
I’m doing this circuit 4 times.
* I had to do half-pushups [...]
I don’t know what this exercise is called but** Its one I heard about a long time ago and yet have never picked up and actually done!
The basic premise is simple but the exercise is an absolute killer. You need a bar/dowel/stick a piece of rope or belt and a weight. Whether its a dumb [...]
