Feb 6 – Nightly Workout 5: #2

February 6, 2008

I was surprised when I rolled another 2. That’s the way of the dice gods I suppose!

For those who missed yesterday, a roll of 2 is:

  • 500 chinnies

Today, I was ready for it. And I had a time to beat, a target.

I thrashed yesterdays time: 4 minutes, 30 seconds. Beat it by nearly 2 minutes. It was mainly because I had less rest, doing he first 200 in one go, then the last 300 in sets of 100. By the end, like last time, my range of motion wasn’t as great as when I started – my elbows were barely, if at all, touching (the insides of) my knees. But TBH I don’t think that matters too much, as I can feel it was a pretty good 4.5 minute workout. Looks like soon I’ll have to extend them!

I realised today that next Friday my half term starts. My current plan is keep going as I am until then, but after that do more (like during the day), and change up my evening workouts. Unlike previously, I’m not going to jump in at the deep end, I am going to take it slowly (famous last words). I can feel inside me that the fire is slowly starting to burn again, I can feel the sparks. This weekend I’m thinking about seeing my max pushups and max squats (to set some more realistic goals), as well as do some pullup/chinup work (static holds, negatives, assisted), and no doubt some bag work.

Until tomorrow!

As always, please leave me comments! I’m starting to feel lonely :-(
