    Clean and press, 20kg dumbells: 7,5,5
    The idea here is to build up to 3x10 and then add weight.

    Pushups, pyramid up to 8
    The idea here being to build up to a pyramid to 12

    Pullups, 7
    I tried to do a second set but try as I might I couldn't rise above the bar after a minute's rest. I need to rethink how I'm doing these, obviously.

    Sprinting, 3x30, 1x60
    Not much volume but the idea here is to do this near as dammit every day

    Took the dog for a walk, 1 hour.

    Ab work: Tuck sit, 3x20 seconds. The idea here being to build up to a minute long L-sit by degrees.

    So this is really basic stuff and the more sophisticated/fitter members might scoff a little. But I've faffed around doing much more complex stuff for a long while and not made any progress, so I've decided to cut right back down to basics for, say, 6 weeks. It can hardly make matters any worse.

    Any suggestions gratefully received, but I'm planning to stick to 5 or 6 exercises daily.

    At the end of the day, as long as you're not doing dangerous things when you practice, you're getting a workout and feeling good about it, then it doesn't matter how you do it all that much.

    Hindu squats and planking in sets. Because they're awesome :)

    Coolio. I'm planning something evil with burpees tomorrow, mind.

    ... instead of which I did:
    Bike ride: 30 minutes
    Pushups: 20,20,10 w/1 minute rest between sets
    pullups: 4, 4,4 w/1 minute rest between sets
    situps: 40
    Clean and strict press: 20kg dumbells x5
    Clean and push press: 50kg barbell x3
    Clean and jerk: 70kg barbell for a single.

    Edit: cycling, 1hr. Moderate, and in some cases highly unreasonable, hills.
    More therapy than exercise really, seeing as the reason I headed out was a family argument.

    10 minutes of clean and press singles. Approx. average weight 65kg. Had one failure at 70 despite the fact that I managed to put 70 overhead fairly easy yesterday. Sodderations. Lost count of actual number of reps, but most probably around 20, as a rather conservative estimate.
