I've set meyself a target to do standing roll out in two weeks time. Finishing every workout with knee roll outs and standing eccentric-fall flat on face roll outs.
Good luck, they are tough! - a good progression is to do them kneeling with a 20kg plate on your upper back before going to standing. I've not done them standing for a wee while as they ruin your stomach for a few days, but they're back in now, plan to get up to 3x10 (best is 3x5 so far...) smile

Forgot to post yesterday:

Clean & Jerk 7 x 2 up to 70kg (PB). Failed at 80.
Wide-grip pullups 4 x 8-12
Seated close-grip cable row 4 x 12
Standing barbell curl 4 x 6-10
Seated dumbbell curl 2 x 12
Standing cable curl 3 x 12

This morning: an hour at boot camp before the thunderstorm!
One long circuit around a circular cone course (maybe 200m or so)
5 kettlebell clean & press
5 kettlebell snatch
5 squat (kettlebell racked at shoulder)
5 kettlebell swing
10 walking lunges (kettlebell racked at shoulder)
12-15 rounds, swapping hands each round. Using 16kg kettlebell.

Finished with 5 supersets of:
20 x lying leg raise with hip thrust at the top
20 x weighted crunch (12kg)

DOMS set in after about 3 hours!! Not sure it was such a good idea to sign myself up for tomorrow morning...

A good way of getting progression is to start rolling towards a wall so you've got something to push of at the bottom. The progression is to move your feet further away from the wall.

Re: "doing roll outs at the end of every workout"

I started with a 1000m row today to warm up, firt pull on the 'oar' and I nearly fell off the back because my abs hurt so much. Tried to do some roll outs at the end as they had loosened off a bit - not a chance, one rep and I thought my abs were going to explode. Maybe tomorrow then hehe I'll try both of those progressions (weighted and walled)

Todays session...
Squats
1 x 2 at 180kg
1 x 2 at 185kg
3 x 1 at 190kg - I'm going lowet than I use to so the weight has suffered slightly
2 x 2 at 160kg - super low

Bent over row
1 x 5 at 130kg
2 x 5 at 135kg
2 x 3 at 140kg

Weighted chins
2 x 5 at 25kg
3 x 3 at 30kg

Played pirates and buccaneers on Friday (a ball game), first time I have ran since the 10k, short bursts, destroyed my legs, they're still tired! Hips, hams and quads fracked. In the past few days have done; strict DB curls, ham curls, lunges, crunches, seated DB shoulder presses, heaves, press-ups, wide grip upright row, scarecrows, heavy bag, Russian twists, Swiss ball crunches, bicep ladders, tricep ladders, crush grip DB bench press, front lever attempts and weighted hypers.

I'd tried doing standing ones each session....lasted about a week, then had to stop then for about 10 days due to pain!

As above- 'they ruin your stomach for a few days' biggrin

A new chapter in training! Going to have a go at bodybuilding. Speaking to the owner at my gym as he's a BB and he reckons that, if I want to compete next year, I should keep my BF where it is just now and try to bulk rather than cut any more. (He knows a thing or two about BB to as he's a former Masters Mr Universe- http://musclememory.com/show.php?a=Park,+Graham )

Tonight, 90 sec or less rest between everything>

Bench, normal grip:
80kg x 10,10,10,7,4 (never do anything other than CG bench, had to use my chest which i found quite hard!)
Straight arm Fly's:
14kg x 10,10,10,10
Wide pull ups:
BW x 8,8,7,4
Chest supported BB row:
60kg x 10,10,10,10
Sissy Squat
BW x 10, +10kg x 10, +15kg 2x10
Ham Curl:
45kg x 10,10,10,10
Calf Press:
100kg x 20,20,20,20
Hyper/ab roll out SS:
BW x 4x 10/10

Done in just over an hour, don't like to do things by halves. Totally alien to the norm but pumptastic and enjoyable smile

100 Reboots.
2 hours of head scratching.
1 hour of tearing hair out.
1 rep of system restore.

What a waste of time.

Am I right in saying your pull exercises are quite a bit ahead of your push exercises ?

Hehe. Yes. I've been climbing for about 8 years on and off which helps; and only doing bench press and shoulder press for a few months. I can do plyo knuckle push ups, of course. Just doesn't look at impressive. (I've yet to try that push up to spin to land... I suspect it will end in tears.)

Am working on planche holds which requires good pushing and back strength. My back seems ok.

As you are so good at chins maybe just hammer supersets of push ups and chin ups ?

Your vid is functional training at its best, swinging through trees hehe

biggrin Well, you never know when you need to avoid being eaten by a pack of hungry wolves by launching yourself up a tree.

Maybe I should do more push ups to balance things out.

At the end of the weights session, I also hung inverted from that bar and did a pull up (or is it down?) for giggles.

They are an excellent exercise, I only do pushups for chest and with enough volume I certainly feel it.

No way I could do that Plyo circuit, my chin up reps have gone up though since losing some pud biggrin
