What training are you doing/have you done today? (Vol.3)
Discussion
Moved to a bodyweight program today, now that the inflammations from a couple of injuries has calmed down.
3x5 Beginner Shrimp Squats
3x4 Half (upper) Pull Ups
3x5 Pike Push Ups
3x4 Hanging Straight Leg Raises
3x6 Diamond Push Ups
3x5 Elevated Inverted Rows
1x 60s Plank, Side Planks
3x4 Eccentric Pull Ups
3x5 Eccentric Dragon Flags with easier raise
Progressions will be to get to 8-10 reps of each exercise then go to a harder variation back at 4 reps.
Very early days so still found some stuff easy, some hard - just wanted to get a start point where I could do all the exercises.
Expecting to stay on this for 6 weeks and then blend in weights again.
Just to see how it works and how the body reacts really.

35. 4" box jump PB https://www.instagram.com/p/BqvPC23Ajxw/?utm_sourc...
~143kg/22.5st Bodyweight.
Forgot my sleeves for squats so did beltless paused stuff instead then played around with box jumps
Did some at 36", 2 at 24", then two at 30" since 36" felt daunting, but did 2 at 36", it was simple enough...the next go up would be 42", I think, a 18" plus a 24". So it'd have to be matts or something.~143kg/22.5st Bodyweight.

How do you find the dragon flag eccentrics? I find them really difficult, but getting better.
Self written program or no?
Yeah - first time I've tried them - started off with a leg raise, then up on to my shoulders, then really slowly bring back down as straight as I can - First time I thought the upper part of my abs were going to rip apart! Probably being a bit ambitious but I did more and they were really tough but good. I think I'll film them next time so I can see exactly how straight/locked out I'm getting it.Self written program or no?
Not my own, although I'm adding stuff in.

Using this guy's info - I like that it's simple, well explained and the accompanying routine poster shows the progression exercises really well.
I'm an oldie too.

Next one for me is similar so will add plates and build up at some point. Did my heavy circuit today, along with 250 kb swings and my normal rites warm-up....plus those fruity rear delt swings that dd likes

I'm currently trying to do 100 reps 1 set with a 20kg kettlebell, 65 is the best so far in one go but I'm doing GH raises prior which is making the number go down now to about 50 in one go.
240kg 4x6 deadlifts, felt OK bit sluggish.
160kg 3x5 RDL
125kg 3x8 bent over row
Lat pull downs and seated rows.

Just drink Guinness or something - would be more interesting!
I drank that chocolate milk with Vodka a few times- it's great!

That's what I do. I either do straddle eccentrics or tucked with the ROM I can sustain. They're very tough though.Not my own, although I'm adding stuff in.

I would definitely recommend getting rings. They're not expensive and would add a significant dimension to that program - dips, pull ups, push ups, rows and planks could all be done with rings and are all made bit more interesting with them IMO.
4th set of 8 @92.5kg PB
Switched on for this and it felt effortless!
First time I've switched on in a while, really struggle to do it!

My abs are so sore, I should have maybe taken things a little easier, but hey... tomorrow's sesh should be a bundle of fun.
Rings - yes, I notice that on straight bar pull ups, right at the top of the contraction I get pain on the inside of the elbow which if I keep ignoring, will become more permanent - so I'm definitely looking at rings as its easier to control the orientation of the grip. Also agree for all the other exercises - allows to make everything dynamic.
