Did a SWF session with the Girlfriend and two friends from work on Friday - the two of them are really liking it - one's new to it and is experiencing DOMS now, the other is getting much better in his cleans, squats, deadlifts.
Today's WOD is more of targeting weaknesses - hams & calves namely. So today's WOD is a little different from the usual.
Am slightly sore in the hams from yesterday's assisted GHR's! I like this 'slightly crippling' feeling that arises from soreness.
WOD
30 weighted push ups (12.5kg)
15 toes to bar
15 barbell thrusters (50kg)
75 calf raises (50kg)
10 glute ham raises
30 weighted push ups (12.5kg)
15 toes to bar
10 back squats (50kg)
75 calf raises (50kg)
10 glute ham raises
My calves, hamstrings, quads are in a persistent, mild soreness. That rocks.
But it does make cycling from point to point in the yard pretty tiring.

Today is rest day - my legs feel really really tired out! Working on GHR's, so I tried it on the bed, using the headboard as a support for my feet - and it kind of works! Which is good! I hope to feel DOMS tomorrow in the glutes!
Today's WOD is pretty decent. The same old. I really should plan my WOD's in advance so I don't end up doing the same things. Really want to grow mega-hams and mega-calves. Shall research more on that!
It'll be a lifting & sprint session later for the WOD. Work this week has been going quite out of hand. Forever in a rush, forever never supported by the other departments - spend all the time chasing Engineering, Purchasing, Contractors, Suppliers, Operations, Production all thanks to the newly implemented (failing) system.
I can't wait for Thursday, to spend time with my overworked Girlfriend!
I haven't blogged in a really long time, but that doesn't mean I stopped working out, just that I've been a bit too tired (read: lazy) to document my workouts.
WOD
30 weighted push ups (12.5kg)
15 L pull ups
20 front squats (50kg)
8 push presses (50kg)
50 calf raises (50kg)

Don't Eat Toxins - gluten, soy, sugar. Discussed in great delightful joy.
This picture means a lot to both me and the girlfriend - that we are continuously getting better and not getting sucked into mediocritcy.
Countless times I have heard others tell me to 'not train so hard, and just maintain what you've got. Or you'll hurt your back / grow shorter.'
So often I can see so many of my colleagues at work eating horribly, totally misguided in eating habits, getting more inches all over with time. In short, most people either (1) do nothing about their health, or (2) do everything wrong with it, thinking they're doing everything right with it.
Conventional wisdom is hard to break and it can be hard to accept (the cold, hard truths). But sometimes, like how the old wise men say, a picture says everything.
I'll do this every year. And Mark Sisson - he's the guy I want to be when I'm in my 50's. And every step counts, from now.
