Another Improvised Workout

I really didn't feel it today.  LGKB was tough last night and I went to the gym with a priority of sunbathing and just going through the motions:

Here was the basic plan:
Warm Up (the usual Katz inspired stuff)
Backflips x 4 interspersed by Grok Squat, Side Grok Squat (I should have done lunges as well)
Rowing (easy 1x3mins)
Handwalking x 2
Chins (3x5)
Deadlift (3x5 auto regulate)

More Workout Quickies

Things are busy at the moment - but not stressful. I am rolling with it, and one of the easiest (and most enjoyable) ways of flowing with life is to pucker up with some play!

So I did a basic bodyweight workout little regard for weights or TUL and just a rough handle of 'three sets':

Warm Up (the usual Katz inspired stuff)
Backflips x 4 interspersed by Grok Squat, Side Grok Squat, Lunging Walks
15s Sprints x 4
Handwalking x 2
Chins (3x10)
Planching Variations
Lau Gar Forms.

Another Quick Workout

Another spontaneous workout with some more deep lunging.  Not to failure.

Backflips x 4 (Number 1 was average, number two good, number three meek and number four indifferent). TBFF 30!

Handwalking/Handstands
Chins (3x10)
Shuttle Runs

Lau Gar Forms.

On the food front I am tending not to eat until much later in the day - late afternoon usually towards 1500hrs.  The morning is punctuated by a couple of coffees with milk.    A couple of times this week I have simply not eaten at all until the evening.

I *think* I am looking leaner for it, but there is no plan - it is just how my day accomodates eating.

Play More

I have had a busy weekend of birthday parties. The rollerskating and swimming were great fun, but the cake and other sugary crapinabox left their mark...

I have sacked all 'formal' workouts this week and, given the weekend's wheeled fun, have decided to just do some good old fashioned 'play. Today I went to the gym and worked on my backflips and handstands. I finished off with some (tuck) planching and (tuck) levers for a couple of rounds of 30s.

It was quite relaxing and enjoyable throughout. The sunshine helped. The flips really did flow and I am starting to 'get with them' - losing all anxiety and manipulating tuck time to control rotation. TBFF is now 22!

Think I will opt for pistols over pillar jumps today.  One set of 10-15 on each leg should do it.  I will see how I feel.  On this cycle I have increased the chin reps in the first week by one, from 10 to 11.

Warm Up (5 mins)
Main (30 mins)
1a. Planche Variations (30s, 20s, 10s)
1b. Pillar Jumping/Pistols (10x42kg, 10x52kg, 10x62kg)
1c. Chins (11, 11, 11)
2a. Handwalk/MBTs/Handstand/Assited HSPU (for time, 10, 10)
2b. Lever (10s, 10s, 10s)
