Building A Better Human

[Train_Hard_Live_Easy]

An old foot injury has reared its ugly head in the last few days, so today was E day.

Location: The Training Centre
Equipment: AD6

40 min Steady work.

Nice glow on.

Pity, I had a great couple of sessions lined up, but they will have to wait until this pain subsides.

[Train_Hard_Live_Easy]

Foot injury was a nightmare, almost cleared now
Then a reemergence of the cold, hit me hard again then
Record snowfalls, which meant lots of snowshovelling

Felt more with it this week, so Snowshoe yesterday (which was a slog and not the usual conversational pace - telling really since this was my go to route....couldn't catch my breath at all)

Then SE session today
Location: The Training Centre
Equipment: 2x 45# kbs, climbing ropes x2 and TRX

After thoroughly warming up

Buy in
20 push-ups
20 bodyrows [10 on climbing ropes and 10 on TRX]

Then
2,4,6,8,10 Clean & Jerks
1,2,3,4,5 squats
All with 2x 45# kbs.

2cj/1sq.....rest some....4cj/2sq.....so on until 10 and 5

1 round only

3 min rest

Cash out
30 push-ups
30 bodyrows [10 on climbing ropes and 20 on TRX]

10 min cool down on AD6

Fecked!!! Was looking to do more rounds but 8 and 10 really took it out of me
Will build up to 3 rounds of this

Hard to believe I used to use 2 x 53# kbs for this and would do 3 rounds...... a way to go

I'm knackered.

Active weekend....snowboarding in 18cm of fresh overnight POW on Saturday followed by snowshoeing on Sunday. Good times

Today I thought I'd give the SE Fobbit variation a go...... and it was great.

Location: the basement
Equipment: AD6, 50# kb, lebert bars.

2 minute Active Recovery Ride alternating with
20 Clean+Jerk (10/10)
20 1A rack squats (10/10)
20 bodyrows.

I Continued until 35 mins had elapsed, since I had to leave for clients....fitting in sessions as and when I can.

Thoroughly enjoyable variation. Used the 50# kb for both clean+Jerks and the squats. Focusing on recovery whilst on the AD, & looking to get my HR between 122-130 BPM by the end of the 1st minute and keeping it there for the 2nd minute.

This was tough after the Jerks, but ok after the squats, and easier after the bodyrows.

Well, that was a tough month....... 6 days per week and 14 hour days on some of them...... something had to give.

And give it did..... I gave myself that rarest of commodities and got back some time..... I sold my training business to my partner....having two businesses [with both being full on] I had to make a decision...... I am now down to just the one business....... but I will still take the odd client on for a short term project or a specific objective..... but for now, training others is no longer a main focus.

So, after a month of little if any exercise other than walking the dog every day..... back at it.

Location: The GlassHouse, BC
Equipment: 2 x 50# KBs, Pair of Gym Rings.

Warm up and movement prep [abridged version]
then
3 x 5 Clean & Press with 2 x 50's [more curious than anything else] - pleasantly surprised.
then
SE Work

100 foot Farmers Carry with 2 x 50# KB.
Alternating with
20 x
Squats
Pushups
Bodyrows on the rings.
45s - 60s Rest at the end of each round.... minimal rest between exercises and carries

Repeat 3 rounds..... after the 2nd round the forearms were on fire so changed the carry to a 1A Rack hold with 1x50# KB.

Cooled down with walk around the grounds, enjoying the sunshine and glad to see the snow disappearing.

Now that I have freed up some time, I am looking forward to getting back to a normal routine and being active on a daily basis.
