    2 mins shadow boxing 1 min rest x 10

    Did it as 4 rounds shadow boxing/kicking, 1 round ground and pound/armbar spinouts on a floor bag x 2

    Kept it at a pace that had me breathing heavier but not gasping and tried to keep my shoulder fairly relaxed and not over extend the arm.

    Shoulder feels tired achy but not painful - so far! Shins also felt ok.

    I only really do 3/4 punches when shadow boxing. It keeps me relaxed and stops me over extending the elbows.

    That's pretty much what I do too (same with kicks). I just tried to make sure I kept moving for the whole round and mixed punches with kicks.

    The GnP was fun whilst it lasted! I enjoy pounding things. I really must try to get my heavy bag hung up at some point.

    I have a horrible feeling that I have tweaked my left glute, it still feels crampy today. I may have to go and roll round on my foam roller later and see if that helps.

    So with those post workout snackies how much weight have you gained?

    I'm Buff, man! :weightlifter:

    I'm also avoiding the scales till the weekend and will blame any weight gain on water retention due to hormonal issues! ;) :D :Angel:

    Aren't you about 112lbs at 5'0? Sounds pretty lean to me :)

    I'm currently fluctuating between ~115-118lbs (depending on my carb consumption) at 4ft 11". I'd like to get down to 112lbs (or even a bit lower). I'm definitely carrying too much fat around my stomach, bum and thighs, but am nowhere near overweight (particularly considering I lift, so am carrying a reasonable amount of muscle mass).

    Cheers, Steve!

    I'm contemplating dropping the reps so I can increase the weight a bit more quickly, but 3x5 has always served me well and my OCD about changing routines is kicking in. I'm also a bit reluctant to start pushing heavier weights at the moment because I've noticed my knees collapsing inwards a little when coming out of the hole (something my Oly lifting coach pointed out to me a while back), so I might just wait till I can lift with proper technique. I don't want to add a niggling knee injury to my other issues!

    Yeah, you've had your fair share of injuries, lol. You don't want to add another one to the list!

    D you train with a partner?

    Verbal ques are amazingly helpful with stuff like that.

    I don't see and issues with the volume TBH most people don't do enough, IMO people will make more progress with similar volume to you than 5x5 with 2-3 of those sets being a warm up.
    Hell I'm doing 10 sets of 3 at the moment, I've never died of overtraining yet.

    No I train in my garage, by myself.

    When my shoulder is up for it, I plan on going back to my Oly lifting class, which is where I get decent help on technique. Up to now they've always said my basic lifts are very good, technique wise, the only real criticism has been the tendency for my knees to collapse inwards a little on heavier sets. I'm also going really deep ATG with the front squats, which is probably keeping the overall weight I lift down a bit, but that doesn't bother me.

    I usually try to get to 3x5 with any weight before I increase to the next level (except with deadlifts).
