Lau Gar was pretty tough last night -with some hanging stances and low walks/kicks. I need to practise these so will add a few of them in to the rests between sets of handstands (they are as much about balance and technique as strength/endurance).
Higher carb requirements today are fulfilled by home-cooked fruit , tinned fish and some skimmed milk (I know, I know...the latter is definitely a neo-food)
Here is the workout for today. I want to try to add reps to each set. Rests will be 2-3 minutes between sets.
Warm Up (5 minutes)
Main (35 minutes)
1. Handstand Variation (air squats + side lunges, one legged floor touches + front lunges, front/side/turning kicks + hanging kicks)
2. Pistols (8/6x71kg, 10/8x66kg, 12/10x61kg)
3. OACs (5/4x60kg, 6x55kg, 8x45kg)
Forearm and Wrist Prehabilitation
4. Golfers Elbow Drumstick Rotation (12)
5. Wrist Push Ups (12)
6. Reverse Wrist Curl (12)
Weight : 80kg
I'm a kilo lighter than last week. Might explain why I was able to get two reps extra on each of the three sets of pistols. The OACs saw improvement in reps on the first set only (and a modest one rep), but form was sustained throughout. Elbows and shoulders are feeling strong and uninjured soin summary I'll take this as progress.
The handstands sucked at the outset. I do sets of them at Lau Gar to warm up, so that might be the problem. The first handstand today wasn't too bad, but the next two sucked - so I went over to handwalking.
A great session whatever the numbers say!
