Smashed the punch bag for 5 or so rounds today and did some speed skipping, probably over 1000 reps so not bad. Dripping with sweat

Using MyFitnessPal to track calories now, absolutely love it, great tool.
Have staff training tonight so will be swimming a bit no doubt.
Two pages and 400 views, people actually read this ****?

92.5kgx5 (the movement was pretty easy tbh, but my arms/wrists strain like hell. before I had more of a high bar squat, trying to do low bar now and I must have terrible shoulder/wrist flexibility as I just can't get the bar in postion without my wrists bending backwards excessively. any good exercises out there/tips, considering this has had 25 views since my last update someone must have something )

Will do pull ups after work as I find rows really limit how many I can do.

shoulder dislocations, they're brilliant for shoulder mobility

Thanks man, I'll try them today. I think stretching the pecs might help also, what do you think?

yep, hit them pec minors - I like the door corner stretch for these. ~
This is a great video



I really like Elliot's stuff, I think he's underrated, although he doesn't quite have KStar/MobilityWOD's vocab, still knows his stuff reasonably well

this is also ok, the stretch demonstrated is great

Those stretches really helped today, will keep doing them along with shoulder dislocations. Don't think I have a big enough "shelf" for the bar to sit on though.

Just keep practising and you will soon build one up. I had problems with the bar on my back and weird shoulder pain when I first started squatting but I stretched and persevered and after a couple of weeks I'd forgotten it was ever an issue.

Just keep squatting? Or are there any exercises that would help, I'm thinking pull ups (which I already do) and upright rows maybe?

I didn't do any, I just kept squatting! Just gotta get used to the bar on your back really!

Feeling pretty rubbish, wee bit of a cold. Swam tonight, pushed quite hard.

Wow lifts are similar. Very similar. What's your fitness pal username? I started using that yesterday too!

Yeah I've been reading your blog, you need to get to a gym with an oly bar! It's danielross1, I've been pretty lazy at updating it tbh, tend to forget...

Don't use bb.com

Did some skipping, then 2 sprints 100m and 200m.

Been working so much lately, ****ing shattered, so glad I've got the weekend off.

Why are you doing 5x5 bench and 3x5 in everything else? expcept deads of course

I actually try and do 3x5 at a weight, then 5x5, then up the weight and go back to 3x5 and so on. Do it for rows also and will probably start it for OHP. No specific reason, just feel like it.

[The_Blade]

How would it take you to go from 3x5 - 5x5? 3 sessions?

Probably, obviously the further I progress the longer it will take.

[Danny.]

No session today, worked 9-4 then 6-9. Will do tomorrow.
