Revised Training Program..

I've decided to revise my training program yet again. I have added more leg exercises because I feel the lower body is a specific area that I should work on building up. Also I've changed my back and abs day from Friday to Wednesday. I did this because I feel the Friday workout is
a) a lot harder
b) a lot harder especially after a hard Hell Night workout
So this way I can give my best to my Back and abs day as it is before Hell Night.


Monday: Lower Body Day 1

4 sets of 10 Squats = 40 squats

10 Jumps from height

2 sets of 10 calf raises

Tuesday: upper body day number 1

- 8 sets of 15 pushups (do 2 sets with hands wide apart, 2 sets with them close) = 120 pushups.

- 4 sets of 10 crunches (take 6 seconds to do one crunch, 3 seconds to contract, 3 seconds to relax) = 40 slow crunches.

- 8 sets of 5 chinups (palms facing body) (start with hands really wide and bring them closer each set) = 40 chinups

- 8 sets of 5 slow dips = 40 dips

Wednesday: Upper Body Day 2 (Back and abs)

- 8 sets of 5 pull-ups (start with hands wide) = 40 pull ups

- 4 sets of 10 leg raises = 40 leg raises

- 2 sets of 30 seconds planks = 1min planks

- 3 sets of 20 second V-Sit holds. = 1min V-sit

- 2 sets of 5 Deltoid chinups = 10 Deltoid chinups

Thursday

HELL NIGHT

Friday: Lower Body 2

- 4 sets of 25 calf raises on a step = 100 calf raises

- 3 sets of 10 Plies = 30 Plies

- 2 sets of 10 burpees = 20 burpees

Saturday and Sunday...

Parkour, as much as possible. Drilling techniques, get ups pull ups, jamming etc

Honey, I'm Home

Well I'm back from skiing is the USA, which was absolutely fucking freezing.
Also, I'm feeling pretty out of shape, the food at the Hotel was awful (hairs in it) and at Lunch the food was just pure grease and hefty amounts of it. So I think I need to quickly whip my ass into gear and get back on with training, and buy a friggin blender for my Whey protein.

So, training starts here...(again)
I'm planning to go out more nights a week now and actually do Parkour rather than staying in and just conditioning, I recognise the benefits of conditioning but I still feel that my core skills need to improve aswell


Cheers

Just A Quick update before I leave...

So I'm off to New Hampshire in Boston, USA to ski during Half Term. So this will be a week free of conditioning and Parkour, unless i see something tempting. I do believe i've part earned this rest, but at the same time I look forwards to getting back into my training program.
ALSO: Anyone that uses Whey Protein Shakes, the 908g tub that is usually £22, is now £9.99 in store, so go out and buy!

Now , Hell Night, last weeks Hell Night was a lot more mellowed and chilled out, because convieniently we were all feeling a bit sick, but me finished it and even had about 30minutes on the flow tree trying out some new ideas. Mark and I are stepping up Hell Night gradually, next time we have one we are planning to do 1 and a half laps, or as much as we can handle, and over time eventually increase it to 2 laps and so on. High fives to Phil, Rambo and Luke, who now come along sometimes when they can. Couldn't do Hell Night last night, snow was everywhere, the crawl path was covered in slush and snow, the rockery and other precision were icy and snowed on, so we decided to home train.

Enjoy your half term everyone! *especially Leicester guys heading to Lisses*
I look forward to training with some of you when I get back.
Peace
