I managed 10 boat with straighten each round, 12 boats each round, 1 side plank right I took 2 breaks 20-5 secs but I got all the other 30 sec side planks.

I know I didn't get the benefit of the grip/hang practice but boy I felt in in the abs!

Chased it with BOD Yoga day 4 - Yoga on the go for a swift 20 mins of great yoga ;)

Barstarzz PreProgram Wk 3-1 & X3 Triometrics

Start of Week 3 of Preprogram and skills was negative chin ups - I used my rip 60 straps again as it will be another couple of weeks till I get my gym set up and proper chin up bar to use. My numbers increased from 13 to 16 of good slow negatives ;)

Workout was 1 pull up then pull up with 5 secs hold at the top, middle and the bottom (think elevator pull ups but the lift only goes down) followed by10 push ups - rest for 1 min then rnd 2 was 2 pull ups then pull up with 5 secs hold at the top, middle and the bottom followed by10 push ups then rnd 3 was 3 pull ups with with holds etc up to 10 and 10 push ups!

My push ups surprised me today, I'm clearly getting stronger and faster - this stuff really works!

Chased it with X3 Triometrics for some cardio with good glute /quad work built in lol.

Barstarzz Preprogram W 1-1 & 22MHC Cardio 1

So I fancied a change and decided to invest in myself and bought the new Barstarzz BTX (Body Transformation Extreme ) 2.0 program.

I'm lacking my pull bar at the moment since moving house so I'm using my Rip 60 Straps for my pull ups and chin ups.

I'm starting the 4 week pre-program before I start the full 12 week program and today was day 1.

Skill Training was Negative Chin ups which went pretty well - I did them pretty tough for 8 and include the chin up then 6 really tough just focussing on the negative.

Then the main workout was Around The Block...

5 Sets/Rounds with 1 min break in between of
5 pull ups (Rip 60 Straps)
10 Tricep Dips (I did them on Power Stands Rnd 1 Straight leg, Rnd 2 Bent legs, Rnd 3, 4  & 5 straight leg)
10 Push ups (Rnd 1 All feet 5-5, Rnd 2 was 4 feet & 5-1 Knees, Rnd 3 was only 3 feet & 3-2-2 Knees, 4 was 3 f and 3-3-1 knees & 5 was 3 f and 2-2-2-1 knees )

Push ups were tough in the latter rounds but I actually really enjoyed it.

To add in Cardio I went straight into 22MHC Cardio 1 and loved it!
