Cheers mate - yep, burpee-pullups. Brutal little f*ckers. 1.7.08 - 11:30am (punishment session) Thought I'd work on some strength stuff to try and forget about this morning: Clean-front squat-jerk 50kg 55kg 60kg 65kg 67.7kg - PB  70kg - PB, and 100% BW Power clean 72.5kg 75kg 77.5kg 80kg Notes: finally got my BW over my f*cking head! Been chasing that one for a while. Power clean is also a PB, but never really trained those like this before. |

Cheers gents - certainly helped me get over the morning, 2.7.08 Actually set foot in a gym for the first time in over a month, only to discover it was OAP morning (they even had a defibrillator out! ;D ). Thought I'd better be in and out fast, so time to have another go at "Jackie:" 1000m row 50 thrusters @ 20kg 30 pullups 9:47 Notes: PB - overall time was 62 seconds faster than last time (exactly 3 months ago), even though the row was 3:54, slower than last time. Thrusters done in 15, 15, 10, 10. Pullups were 10, 5, 5, 5, 5, and had as much of a kip as I could considering I was doing it on a Smith machine with a bar placed so that every time I tried to put my head between my arms at the bottom I risked knocking myself out! Pleasingly my shoulder didn't grumble at all at the kips. Originally I planned to do the extended version described here, but gym was busy and once I'd finished the 30 pullups all the rowers were occupied. Next time... |

3.7.08 Into the shed of hell this morning for this "simple" routine: 15 deadlifts @ 60kg 15 pushups 10 rounds 14:58 Notes: Yet another routine I tried to talk myself out of: "My quads are sore from the last 2 days, I'll rest today," "I'm not that heavy, I'll reduce the weight," "I'll do it later," that type of thing. I actually tried to scale it back to 50kg DLs but that felt far too light, so went for the full monty, and very glad I did. Did all 10 sets of pushups unbroken; wish I could say the same for the DLs - only sets 1, 2 & 10 were unbroken. Glad to get under 15 minutes. Video here. For those of you who don't know what I look like, that's not me!  |

Nice one buddy, I thought i'd done this but misread and only did 10 sets of 10 Deadlifts- doh! Even that was a killer so this must have been a treat!

Cheers mate, good little routine that. 4.7.08 Rest day - mucked about on the scaffolding we've got up at the moment, doing ring stuff, and kipping pullups. Got a PB set of 25 kipping pullups. 5.7.08 In the shed this morning for a routine I found among the CF videos: 5 overhead squats @ 35kg (50% BW) 5 pullups @ 15kg AMRAP in 20 minutes - 11 rounds plus 2 O/H squats. Notes: version I saw was O/H squats @ BW  and 50-pound pullups. One day... |

6.7.08 Short on time this morning, so a quick blast today in the form of tuck jump "Annie" - "Trannie?"  50-40-30-20-10 Tuck jumps Situps 6:52 Notes: that felt fast as I did it, and this time takes 1m06s off my previous PB. All sets of tuck jumps were unbroken, and only the 40 situps needed a brief rest. Good wakeup, that. |

6.7.08 - 4pm Felt a bit stagnant sitting about watching the tennis (although it's a pretty decent match), so did this: 50 burpees for time, touching a 1-foot target on each jump 2:56 - improves by my last go at this by 12 seconds |

Cheers mate - great final, wasn't it?
7.7.08
"Helen in a shed:"
Run 400m (treadmill)
21 KB swings @ 24kg
12 pullups
3 rounds for time
10:28
Notes:
Slower than my PB by 25 seconds, but first time I've done the run on a treadmill rather than my self-measured-and-probably-about-350m course. Still a kick-arse workout that one...
Going away this lunchtime until Friday - will be taking one KB with me, and will do a bit of training, but not a great deal. See you all when I get back. Train hard!

but it was supposed to be 100 for time, which I just could not bring myself to do - yup, I quit.
