That's a huge jump!
To think I was happy with 70kg for 4 yesterday...
When I saw it in my program I did question it with my coach To think I was happy with 70kg for 4 yesterday...
His response was don't be s
t you've got this. My strict press has been very poor up until now though, when I hit a 165kg x2 overhead my strict was about 110-115kg at the time!
70kg x4 is strong though!

Silly question but are you doing pull-ups or chins? I'd really have to see what you're doing to make any real comment.
Maybe stick up a video of you doing a few reps?
Edit: how are you gripping the rings? False grip? Thumb over? Thumb under?
Thanks again for taking the time to reply. I'm using a neutral grip to grip the rings. I start with pronated and rotate my wrists to finish in a supinated position as I find this the most comfortable. Maybe stick up a video of you doing a few reps?

Walked around 6 miles this morning (as WFH, decided to use commuting time to do walking)
Will do around 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups.
Also using some free weights.
Now need some advice of what else I can do. Running is not going to happen I am afraid.
I quite fancy having a 6-pack as I have never had one, and I might buy a Porsche as I have never had one of them either. And it might help me get a Woman lighter than Me, I have moved to a new area and "lighter than me" (80Kg) might be more difficult here...

Loverly swim last night, huge swell making for a proper roller coaster ride, then 145 pull ups off my bar at home, going to gym soon to do shoulders, then back in the water for a sunset swim.
Out of curiosity what were your pullup sets? I've just done 103 - started off with a 15 and finished with a 4!popeyewhite said:

I remember 20s were possible when I was 1/2 a stone lighter. Strawberries and cream have been my downfall.

Went back to the park today for more muscle ups armed with the band I used last week, and two lighter ones.
The band I used last week felt very easy, stepped down to the lighter one and could still do reps, stepped down again and could still get it.
Tried without a band and cracked it. Big achievement for me. I think I've had the strength for a while but no where to try in my gym. I will keep going at them and get them stricter over the summer.
Feel good though!

I did legs- my kettle bell is now 73kg, and I can swing it one handed for reps- was pretty chuffed with that!

That is the manliest kettlebell I have ever seen. Fair play. I find one handed swings with a 24kg bell awkward. I dread to think what they would feel like with that much weight! I did legs- my kettle bell is now 73kg, and I can swing it one handed for reps- was pretty chuffed with that!
