Enjoyed this tonight, pleased with my performance overall and surprised myself too ;)
Took a couple of breathers in last round of lunge,lunge,squat and the sumo jumps near the end of the rounds but other than stuck with it.
I did jumping pull ups and chin ups as to use the chin up max takes up so much time that you dont get many done.
No bench at the moment but used the arm of the settee and it worked brilliantly.
Ab Hammer was tough for me though - took breaks as I needed and did my best.

MHC - Hammer Conditioning & 10 min abs Hammer
This went well tonight, I upped my weights in some moves, others I kept the same. I felt like I was really working hard but thats not reflected in my calories ;(
I also did the burpees wrong the first time, I skipped the renegade row so after I did all 12 burpee with upright rows I did it again with the rows - phew! I got it right the second round :)
I think my body maybe needs a rest. I usually do a recovery week after 3 continuous weeks (Most of Tony's do anyway) and I have been doing 6 days a week for 5 weeks now and I think I could do with a couple of days recovery before the final couple of weeks of this. I've lowered my calories and I'm pushing harder and after all these weeks (most nights not sleeping well either) I'm feeling a little run down and I don't want to risk an injury. It's hard to push for more when you don't feel fully recovered.
I could carry on and just go light weight but that would just feel a little half hearted??
Any thoughts?
Abs went better tonight, making more progress. Oblique crunches I hardly stopped, Side plank obliques I managed 15 each side compared to 13 last time ;) Windshield wipers seems pretty easy and the leg lowering one my abs are much stronger as I could get much lower than last time. The run at the end I actually managed to keep going for the full time. So really pleased ;)

MHC - Hammer Power & 10 min Abs Hammer
Upped some of my weights again tonight and really enjoyed it.
Abs again after this was a little cruel after chisel abs last night but hey what doesn't kill you and all that!Made a little more progress on the runs on the end - I only after take about a 5 secs break now down from 10 secs so hopefully all the way without stopping next time.
Really need to get my barbell out for the deadlifts next time I think as 2 x 35lbs / 16kg are just wrong! My shoulders weren't keen on the movement either going from front of the body to the side like Sagi shows :(
Hmm maybe I will try it all with the barbell after all and just becarefull not to let the weight pull on my wrist, hold it more like the dumbbells - if you know what I mean. It wouldn't be true power lifting technique but then doing it with dumbbells isn't either lol. And turning over the heavy dumbbells is actually bothering my never been injured wrist in a different place. Grrrrrr

MHC - Hammer Power & 10 Min Abs Hammer
Loved this today, upped most of my weights and got a really a great workout!!
Even enjoyed the abs afterwards as I made some noticeable improvements by nearly getting through one of the really hard sections and managing full time on another - progress!!!
Love the variety and love this program - another 500 cals sweated away ;)
