cartwheels still inconsistent but starting to get a couple that feel clean. need to film again, was too dark again tonight. feel great otherwise though. was at a barbecue all afternoon and successfully avoided booze the whole time in anticipation of workout. yes.

yep, cartwheel bailing. part of the issue is it just seems to hurt my wrists to twist. after workout this morning, found an older tutorial from them that explains it a little differently, i.e. more explicitly as a funky-hand-position cartwheel. maybe that'll help.
hard to judge the program so far, hasn't even been two weeks. but i'm glad to have something to just give myself over to and stop thinking or planning. one odd things is there appears to be a lot of hip flexor work.
woke up early this morning so did this before work:

active rest day.
- cartwheels x 5/side
need to film again. it was too dark tonight. some of these felt good and straight. as i get more confident, i can plant my hands a little farther away from my body and that seems to help keep things aligned.
- handstand bailing
awkward. something not clicking.
- shoulder stretching

not quite sure what that means but it sounds like a fairly big deal! so i'll just go ahead and put in one of these:

pushed myself a little bit more on the volume today. challenge is still 90% from technique. left hip is mildly jacked up. left over from years of LR plants. oh well.

cartwheels/handstand bailing now too big to practice inside. moved furniture around but still just scared i'll kick something. power was out so couldn't do them on the lawn.
right wrist bugging a little on the facing-out handstand holds.
ETA: what i should do is get my landlord to move the beds out of my second bedroom, or maybe stack them or something so i can still use them for guests when need be, and put mats down in there. that plus a pull-up/muscle-up station and i'd be 100% set to work out at home. and a kettlebell. shit i need to do some measuring and some research.

congrats on the victory. would have liked to see a little less decorum, though. perhaps a table flip. some incoherent yelling. an exultant fist pump.
damn understated british people.

« on: April 11, 2017, 12:04:17 am »Also i could probably jog 30 mins then go into a 30 min walk
exactly. or do 10 jog, 10 walk and repeat. break it up however, just push yourself a little and do the whole duration.

started to write up a response and then realized i didn't know: what are you doing the runs for? and what's the point of the crossfit-style WODs? your new job doesn't have a fitness requirement, right? if your goal is still to lose weight i'd suggest cutting the WODs, sticking with a bit of focused lifting and a lot of low-intensity volume. something like:
D1: legs and back + walk/jog x 1 hour
D2: chest and guns + walk/jog x 1 hour
D3: walk/jog x 1.5 hours
D4: rest
D5: legs and back + walk/jog x 1 hour
D6: chest and guns + walk/jog x 1 hour
D7: rest
you can replace the lifting split with WODs if you want to. keep the walking/jogging at a low intensity, the point is to get the volume in consistently and as you go build intensity.
i suspect that will look boring as fuck to you.

mostly newbie gains i think, but the extra space doesn't hurt.
