*@^&#*#$^#$&#$&!!!!!!!
One of the lousiest workout I ever did. Ever. EVER!


I wasn't feeling up to mark when I did the run. Had a slow start as usual, however the 2nd 200m was pretty good! Soon enough, my left ankle, tendon, right ankle and arch was feeling discomfort when I ran somewhere in the middle of the 2nd round. I had 2 options. Continue, or stop. Cannot stop! No! This discomfort was the kind that comes and goes, and once you submit to it, you will forever submit to this sort of pathetic excuse. So I continued to run. And the pain disappeared! :)


Soon after, I realised...eh!...my finishing point is wrong.. ohno!... I must've over-distanced at one point! Oh gawd. Pissed I was. Lack of focus. Dang. It's ok...it's ok... I'll just finish off with 800m. And that's what I did.


Breathless. Legs-less. Alien-less. (Alien left me far far away today..he damn fast aar)


By the time we got back up, I chilled for about 15mins and tried the TGUs. I just did 1 L & 1 R and I decided it was enough. PERIOD.


Then, a couple of guys were starting the KB C&Js and I just thought "Screw the shoulders, just do it!!


"3,2,1, GO!"


Steady first 30reps. No probs. 5 each hand. Smooth.
31 onwards was HELL.


I was cursing in my head each time I picked up the KB. It was the combination of reps and weight after the run which I think I could've done better. I managed 5 each arm all the way. I was getting frustrated cos the left arm was failing me at the 90th rep. I had trouble locking out at the top once fatigue sets in. 


Told myself to TAHAN the KB smacking my upper arm during the cleans and just power to the top. THEN only break for about 30secs. 


I'm glad I evenly spaced out the L&R reps... noticeably my Left arm needs some work! Well, this is a good indicative exercise and glad I did it. Best part? I didn't get any ripped palms! Wheeee!!! 


Sore shoulders welcomes CNY. A well deserved break!


Happy Chinese New Year to you :)

10 Front Squats @ 40kg/30kg

50 Double Unders

8 Front Squats @ 40kg/30kg

40 Double Unders

6 Front Squats @ 40kg/30kg

30 Double Unders

4 Front Squats @ 40kg/30kg

20 Double Unders

2 Front Squats @ 40kg/30kg

10 Double Unders

Result: 5:52(FS @ 40kg)


Surprisingly I didn't die from the Front Squats!

It was the Double Unders! I broke continuity a few times from the 50-30... Shoulders & wrists were tired from the rack position. I found it challenging to maintain the 40kgs on the shoulders! Oh man, just thought it might slip or something..haha...but it didn't!

I did Timed Sets for Clean & Press, Snatches & Clean & Jerks @ 12kg. I didn't record the reps tho. 1min each arm, with 1min rest after each exercise. Average was about 15 for all exercises. I'll need to work harder at the presses. My aim is to use a 16kg for EVERY pressing KB exercise!

I can do this! Bring on the challenge yo!

Shoulders Are Knackered!

Nasty workout!

During the 50-DUs I broke quite a number of times! At one point, it was 5-whammies that I couldn't even do a DU! Yikes! >.<

The same for the 40s except it was a bit smoother.. Maybe the shoulders were used to the "stretchy pain" already. Haha .

The C&Js were tough during the 10-8-6 for the left arm. Was more worried that I'd tear the skin on my palms rather than the soreness of the shoulders! So I broke the reps halves to complete the set.

On the whole, it was a good workout! I feel good! :)
