Salty's log

[Salty]

Did a nice quick session last night, about half an hour on a core circuit and then sweet 16 (tabatas punching with 3lb weights, squats, punching with 3lb weights and pushups) and then a tabata sprint to finish off. This morning, woke up and did a nice long jog (7km I think) as it was really nice and sunny, couldn't pass up on that. Tonight i'll time myself doing 100 burpees, my last time was 7.52, so i'll see if I can beat that, although it will be after a strength workout, so we shall see

Yesterday got attacked by a bunch of seagulls, would have been a funny site for people to see but it was raining a bit so no one was out. I was down on the beach sand, enjoying my tabata's as you do and at the 3 min mark, 2 seagulls swooped me one after the other. They then proceeded to squark above my head, I shat myself and sprinted the 200m or so to the stairs so I could get away from the bastards. I was buggered after that, so wasn't too bad in the end. Although next time I think i'll do it somewhere else.

Today did an ab circuit, GPP workout and a nice jog in the morning, anyways give this workout a try...

Do 10 circuits as quickly as possible:
100 Rope jumps
10 Burpees
10 Pushups
10 Squats

You get pretty exhausted by the end of it, but this is one of my favourite conditioning circuits from infinite intensity as when you get better you just do harder variations, instantly making it more difficult. Anyways that's about it for now.

Alright it has been quite a long time since my last update, so here's a basic rundown of what has been happening in the world of Salty.

Finished exams finally, I'm hoping they went alright, one of them I bombed out of pretty badly, I'm just hoping to pass that unit as I feel it has little importance to what my career is likely to be. First day back into the gym today and it feels great to get back and getting punched in the face.

I didn't waste any time getting back into the workouts. So Saturday was rather intense, I did my first set of dragon flags and my abs are still hurting. I underestimated them a bit, and should have done them at the start instead of the end

Did an exercise scrap suggested to me which was great, did a few more exercises that I found on here. Then hit up a quick strength session with just 1 arm snatch and 2 arm clean and press, while also trying some new one handed pushups. It seems I have outgrown the weights though and need to invest in longer handles to fit on more plates. Finished it off with timing myself doing 100 burpees, but I cheated a bit and didn't do the pushups or tuck jumps at the end. Although was pretty happy with my time at 5.47 which is just over 3 seconds a burpee.

I've also come across a few new goals; full planche pushups and one arm pushups with the feet together rather than a mile wide. So that brings my log up to date

keep with it buddy, im curious to see how fast you will start seeing results. Careful with that hamstring too.

Bout time ya updated.

Get back at it Salty, you got too much share to not apply it. You got me into the tabatas sprints dude...stuff was borderline miracle.

[Scrap]

When you get use to doing it Salty, Ill give you the other bit that goes with it. its magic.

I'm soooo curious about what Scrap has you doing! Perhaps if I'm meant to know then I'd recognize it with a key word hint like perhaps - horizontal?

Of course if it's something I haven't heard of you'd better not describe it to me because it's Scrap's thing and I think he'd tell me as much as i should know at the moment.

Wondering how it's all going in general too.

I update my log no matter how damn slack it is - keeps me semi honest ........... except for a multitude of excuses I make to myself! Therefore I expect you to stay current on here aswell!

Now exams are over you'd be back into wouldn't you? New ideas happening perhaps?
