    My turn to jump on the training logs bandwagon and start my own!

    I'd planned to go and swim intervals, but today it was bloody full of jellyfish - the naughty ones, not the nice ones - so I went for circuit training instead.
    I did this one:
    pushups x 30 sec
    hindu squats x 30"
    high knees x 30"
    pike press x 30"
    lunges x 30"
    dumbbell rows x 30"
    glute ham raise x 30"
    dumbbell swings x 30"
    Repeated 3 times, resting 1:30 between circuits.
    Total destruction :D

    Yesterday's stuff left no soreness or discomfort. Hope it doesn't mean I didn't work enough -.-

    Today I did another circuit, for core training
    25 russian twists with 8kg weight
    20 lying hip swing
    30 supermen
    1 minute plank with straight arms - that was hard!
    Repeated 3 times with 1 minute rest in between

    It felt challenging while doing it - I also had troubles keeping the legs straight during the 2nd exercise - but then I felt quite fresh. Maybe I should have repeated it one or two more times, but I was late for dinner (supper?) and it can't be put off :evil:

    Knees a bit messed up from yesterday, and shin splints won't let me run.
    So I took it easy today, just 30-40 minutes of light swimming.

    But I want to crank up the intensity again, you'll see if I don't :evil:

    I always feel sore 48 hours after exercising. I can feel a bit stiff the day after but it's the day after that the doms kicks in.

    Happens to me too! Although I've found that if I do some light stuff when I'm sore, the problem goes away :cool:

    Allright. After realizing what my push ups really looked like and mocking myself for over two hours, I've started over with strict form: totally straight line from head to toes, feet together, hands below the shoulders and shoulder-width, elbows in and bent at least 90 degrees.

    Maximum proper push ups: 0! :happy:

    So I'm currently working with my hands elevated - 30 cm. Did today:
    -2 pyramids up to 6 and back
    -4 sets of 5
    -1 set of 8
    for a total of 100 :evil:

    In the evening I ran 20 minutes = 2.5 km, average speed 8.7 km/h

    Notes: I need to start stretching seriously and maybe start working on the pistol squat :cool:

    Done my 100 incline push ups:
    4 sets of 5
    5 sets of 10
    2 sets of 15

    Ran 3 km, average speed 8.8 km/h. It's getting better!

    Also, I think I'll make up a decent plan that makes some sense after this week of casual randomness :jester:

    Although trying to throw friends into the river is quite tiring, this still counts as one more day off.

    Still nothing :eek: but push ups (100+ split into various sets)
    I've finally sent the incline to hell!
    My maximum for regular push ups is now around 10-15 :happy:

    Going to get back to serious training by tomorrow .-.

    Also, I've found a door frame that *seems* to hold me, so hopefully I can start working on pull ups.

    Skipped morning routine - have been phoned early, had to go to town.

    Evening:
    Dynamic stretching

    Strength training:
    -Push ups: day 1 of the 100 push ups program, happily started from 3rd column
    -Body rows: 3 sets of 3
    -Negative pull ups: 3 sets of 1
    -Isometric kicks hold: front kick and side kick, 2 sets of 15sec each
    -Hindu squats: 100

    I'm thinking of dropping or reducing dynamic stretching. At the moment it's doing more harm than good.:bang:

    In the process of developing a decent workout plan :)

    You can do relaxed stretching at any time of day. You don't need to warm-up to do it, or save it for the end of a workout, although being warm will help. Just once a day will be enough to see gains.
