What training are you doing/have you done today? (Vol.3)
Discussion
First post in this section. Since lockdown March 20 i zoom a friend and we set about circuit’ training, anything from 1-2hrs.
Recently we’ve been switching exercise every 1 minute, then straight to the next. The only rest is what you need, or transition between exercise:
Burpees
Jump squats / squats
Lunges
Press ups / diamond press ups / leg thro press-ups
Dips
Loads of core exercises
and so on...
have a few dumbbells (3kg and 5kg)
Arms out wide in small circles, holding the 3kg while jogging
Russian twisties, shoulder press..
All the good stuff with a little imagination and goes a long way to keeping fit.

5x3 @100kg Log press last night, felt really good after so long off.
Technique has to be perfect now due to the very limited space and height in my conservatory - roof slants down.
I've got about 1ft of movement forward, very little behind me as there's a wall and about 6 inches right before the pin goes through a window
Best way to practice perfect technique at least.
First day under 85kg. Gonna carry on for a bit out of interest to see how lean I get.
Last night:
Bench: 100kg x 4,5,6,5,4
DB Rows: 5 sets
Split squats: 6 sets
Curls, ab rollouts & press ups
Workouts still coming in at about 90 mins including warmup. Definitely feeling a little bit less energetic from losing weight.

king about taking pics and not feeling like I was pushing I managed an 11w FTP increase. Which is nice .https://www.t-nation.com/training/tabata-method-pe...
Read this article by Dan John the other night. I've read about tabata lots of times but never tried it. Thought I'd try it this morning to finish of the session. I done it with 32kg kettlebell swings. He aint wrong. Its absolutely savage!

Deadlifts
Pendlay rows
10 minutes on punch bag
Tried to the hook grip for deadlift, worked, starting to pull my bloody thumb nail off though so will need practice with it.
I’ll stick with overhand, then do hook when I struggle, then look at alternative grip when I get the weight up.
Actually felt I was doing it properly for once which was satisfying.
Thanks TheJimi and all.

Did a 7k run yesterday morning instead of usual hiit, knee pain evident today which isn't good. So did a YouTube work out instead.
10 push ups in one minute, immediately followed by 10 squats in a one minute, immediately followed by 10 Burpees in one minute, then immediately loop back around but increase the rep count by two every time. Still one minute per exercise, if you don't hit the rep count you stop there and then.
Sounds easy.... It really isn't (for me anyway). It's evil as you get tired, the reps climb and the rest drops.
Managed to get to the final timed round on the video though which, is 22 reps of each, but I was dead. After a few minutes rest I then did 24 reps of each but not timed.
Feeling it this evening.
YouTube has been my saviour during lockdown, I live in a 1 bed flat with no room for any kit so it's pretty much been body weight for months now.

Did 5.5 km walk around BP yesterday, first 2.5km with a big backpack and 2 big carrier bags full of beer bottle, to the bottle bank. I’ve barely left the house this year so despite all the cycling my legs are feeling it. Shins especillY.
Just did some hip mobility yoga (Tom Merrick vid on YouTube) which has helped no end.

Couldn't gain access to gym this weekend so 4 mile run today, hard going but worth it in this glorious weather. Hopefully this weather holds and I can get a few in this week.
