22 MHC 45/54 - Resistance 2

Been packing and moving boxes all day in preparation for moving - please everybody keep their  fingers crossed for me x

Resistance 2 went pretty well tonight - burpee presses felt faster, Squat jumps used the same weight but got lower in my squat and my quads were screaming at the end of each set! Chin ups got all reps assisted but only 3 knee raises on the first set. I feel the chin up is the most important part for me so I only do the raises if I get done in time. Punch Pull kept the same weight and it felt about right - heavier will be sloppy at that that speed. Corkscrew lift felt a little better too.

Only 3 more days to do and then its hell week!!

22 MHC - 25/54 - Fit Test and Resistance 2

22MHC - 4 Week progress report...Weight exactly the same at 146lb / 66.6kg but bodyfat down (according to measurements inputted into Navy Seal app) from 22.84% to 21.66% so 1.1% Bodyfat gone :) 3.8cm / 1.5 inches lost over all (Chest, waist, hips, thighs and calf). I feel leaner and firmer.
Let's see what the next 4 weeks bring. Get Some!!

So I took my measurements on Sunday morning but didn't do my fit test as I knew the I needed the rest.
I did the fit test before I did resistance 2 tonight.

Fairly pleased with results, increased on everything including managing extra 4 push ups, 7 squat thrusts and 4 jumping jacks in each of the respective minutes than last time and 3 unassisted chin ups wahoo!!

Resistance 2 was tough as usual.  Used same sandbag for Burpee press but I increased the squat jump weight to 5kg / 11lb and still managed the last round without a break but only just - legs were screaming.
Chin up L's was a combo of unassist/assisted and some hanging knee raises when I just couldn't physically get straight legs up any longer!
Kept the same 5kg / 11b for the punch pull which felt slightly easier.
Legs are getting straighter on the corkscrew lift too.

22 MHC 18/54 Resistance 2

Chisels warm ups followed by Resistance 2 for me after a very long day.

But I got it done, was wary of my back but pleased I completed it tonight. Used Sandbag on Rnds 1 & 2, did 2 x 3kg/6.6lbs DB's on last round to see what the difference felt like. Considering the 2 umbrellas were in theory heavier than the sandbag they felt easier?

Upped the Punch pull to 5kg/11lb and took it steady.

Went slower on the corkscrew lift too trying to get straighter legs and going for form over speed ;)

Can't wait to try the new Resistance 3 on Monday!! Are we ready for Pumper Jumpers and Mountain Squats?????

22 MHC 16/54 Resistance 2

Kept same weights (4kg for jump squats and punch pull, sandbag for burpee press) as last time but did chin ups different.

First round I did 1 unassisted chin, 11 assisted and 1 raise. 2nd round was 1 attempt at unassisted and 9 hanging raises, 3rd round I did 4 assisted and 5 hanging raises.

Squat jumps I took a few sec break in last round and I hope I can do it with out next time.

Keep with 4kg for Squat jumps, use 5kg for punch pull and keep sandbag for burpee press.

22 MHC 11/54 Resistance 2

As my knees and ankles were not terribly happy I decided to skip all the running in Cold Start today and did Autumn's warm up from Master Hammer and Chisel, then went straight into Resistance 2.

With his few mins warm up it was perfect, I used my sandbag again for the burpee press's and I started a few seconds early but got all the reps in ;)

I used a 4kg/8.8lbs (up from 3kg/6.6lbs last time) for the jump squats and punch pulls and got all the reps in too.

Corkscrew lift I started early again but mangled all the reps and the Chin up L-crunch - each round I did 50% chin ups (unassist. & assist) and 50% hanging raises.

Pleased with progress and although I pushed hard I wasn't completely knackered for a change - not sure if that's because I didn't have my pre workout snack today, or because I didn't do Cold Start, or I'm actually getting a little fitter????

But loving it...Get some!!

22 MHC 7/54 Cold Start and Resistance 2

Wow there is more cardio in this that cardio 1 lol

So I used the sandbag for the burpee press and they were tough, I was pretty slow ;( I think I managed all 15 reps on the last round just.

I used 3kg for the squat jumps and I did all of those thankfully although tough on the legs in the 2nd and third round.

Chin ups L crunch - I turned with my back to the wall and tried a unassisted chin up and went  straight up wahoo!!!! 2nd one only half way. So the went to assist, but slow getting head through the gap and it was pretty easy leg lift with the chin up max assisting. 2nd round I did a another unassisted wahoo, then did a few chin up assisted and then came out of the assist and did some leg raises most bent. 3rd round, went straight for assist to get 5 in then turned and did some hanging knee raises and tried as straight leg lift as possible.

The corkscrew was mostly bent legs in the first round, 2nd a bit of both as I realised I could do straight legs but tough and was cautious of sore butt. 3rd I went for form/quality with straight legs over speed/quantity. Tough and I move down the mat too ;(

I used the 3kg for the punch pull, I was aware of my obliques but got them done. Stick with 3kg for next time.

Great workout, loved it!
