Felt highly demotivated today, I need to switch somethings around or something, I dunno. That being said, here's my log.


Monday, August 31
Warmup - Row: 300m 1:00.

Workout

Squat

• 45x5
• 95x5
• 145x3
• 175x3x5

I think they were better than they felt, I know I had small depth issues, Ill keep the same weight next workout

OH P

• 45x5
• 65x5
• 85x3x5

DL

• 135x5
• 195x5

Pullups

• 12x5 (someone was using the 15s)
• 15x5+4 (couldn't finish that last pullup)

My Creatine and Whey arrived today. Ill be taking in 15g a day for a 1 week loading phase, then about 3-4g daily for 3-4 months, depending on how long it lasts. Ill probably put on 4-8lb of water here this week, but it will supposedly make my workouts better... we'll see about that. I'm excited though, feels like all the pieces are in place for me to explode.

Good to see that the harshness is kind of over for you man!

Yay for finding a groove and hitting your stride!  As Miyagi-San says: "Daniel-San, balance not just karate.  Whooooole life lesson."

Time for some new Goals....


Initial Goals when Starting the log
---
Horizontal Flag - Got it, if just for a few seconds
20+ second freestanding handstand I still walk around a bit, but I'll say I can STAY IN THE AIR for 20+ seconds
Muscle up Easy Peasy
20 consecutive pullups  - Realized this goal is somewhat pointless... I'd rather go for 10 muscle ups, and this sorta follows
50 consecutive pushups - also somewhat pointless
Being able to consistently run a mile - Still Fail
Handstand from Planche Easy peasy now
Flips - Front, Back, and Side count
--
From When I cut Leg work due to my knee injury
--

20 pullups/chinups- Same as stated above
20 dips - doing weighted instead
60 pushups - again, pointless
Planche to handstand Got it
10 ground HSPUs I like this one.
2 Parallete HSPUs
MuscleUp
The abs of a sex god. I am a sex god.

New Goals
Strength/Power
Upper Body
Ring Muscle Up (Strength probably isn't an issue... its technique that I cant get)
10 HSPUs
10 Bar Muscle ups (Kipped)
5+ second Flag, Each Side, perfectly horizontal
50lb weighted pullup/dip
Planche (pushup, would be nice)
Tuckplanche-handstand-elbowlever-handstand

Flexibility/recovery
Stretch daily (A huge Goal for me)


Skill
Backflips Outside, anywhere (Currently just in the gym on the spring floor)
Sideflips better (I always land them facing backward and in a crouch)
Fronts Off height (Freaks me out for some odd reason)
Btwists (Look SOOO cool)
Flow practice (Be able to hit more than 5 obstacles in rapid succession without losing balance/coordination)

Other
20LB of muscle (Current weight hovering around 148, I'd like to be up to about 165 or so)
Take APEX's Teaching class (so I can better help other's learn)
