***The Exercise Challenge***

General strength calisthenics:
Push ups
Chin ups
Crunches
Deep Squats
Lunges

Maybe I should have Superman in there too. General strength is a broad category.

 

Monday: long walk, some pull-ups

Tuesday: one hour run

 

Did another great full body session.

First I did some Squats, than superseted OHD and Lateral raises, next superset was Incline Bench Press with elevated push ups, after that did Pull ups-Standing calf raises and for last superset I decided to add some isolation for my arms(haven't done this in a while), I did Biceps curls and Elbow dips. It was amazing, I've relapsed an hour before workout so I didn't felt so well, but it was still amazing.

 

Did you participated in Belgrade Marathon? I ask because it was held the same day you ran your 10 miles.

 

Day 1
Chinups 1
Pushups 8
Crucnches 8
Deep Squats 8
Supermans 8
Lunges 0 (right big toe hurts too much)

 

that's correct

 

I might have found access to a gym with plates. I hope to find out my deadlift to be higher than it was before kettlebell training. Haha.
Cheers my fellow warriors!

Are you from Serbia?

 

I'm from Belgium

 

Power yoga yesterday and I worked out in the morning mostly ab exercise, still better than nothing. Feeling good thus far.

 

Day 2
Chin ups 4
Crunches 10
Deep Squats 10
Supermans 10

 

Yesterday no training
Today: 37 clean pull-ups (22 with handpalms inwards and 15 with handpalms outwards) *NEW RECORD*

 

Dang boy! Great job! In how many sets?

Cheers!

@Baldur Thanks! Sets of only 3 pull-ups. This worked fine. And after I failed I did some pull-ups backwards - with support (how do you call it?)

 

I see. What do you mean by backwards? Is your body somewhat directed into another direction?

I'm thinking of buying a 32 kg kettlebell for my journey of strength, endurance and just brute force development and conditioning.

I guess you mean pull ups (palms away from you) and chin ups (palms facing you). Right?

 

Yess! I did 15 pull-ups and 22 chin-ups (didn't know THAT were chin-ups)

When I can't do the full pull-up/chin-up anymore I use my legs to climb the top of the bar then I just do the upward-movement of the pull-up/chin-up, to strain the muscles a little bit more - that's what I meant.

 

But pull-up also means the general movement regardless of how your grip is, right?

That sounds great! What sizes /weights of kettlebell do you use now?

 

Day 3
N Chinups - Ladder 13 (9)
Pushups - Ladder 27
Crunches - Ladder 27
Deep Squats - Ladder 27

 

I don't understand that. It motivates me anyway. I'll stop beeing moody and hanging around and exercise after I log out.
