Beasting day for me. Just finished a small morning workout.
200 press ups (not all in one set)
3 x 50 tricep dips
Small ab routine
3 x 50 jumping squats. That earned me a coffee.
Later will be a 10k run, sprints, weight session then back in the field until complete exhaustion. Thats todays plan. And after yesterday i cant bloody wait.
If its hurting its working!!!!!!!
Brilliant. Try this ladder. Its a killer.Did a press up ladder thing the other day. Started feet on the bench hands on floor for as many as I could - think it was 30 ish - then to the floor position, then onto knees up to 100 without a break. Worked quite well.

Start in press up position with arms straight...
10 press ups. Then hold up right for 10 seconds.
9 press ups. Hold for 9 seconds.
8 press ups. Hold for 8 seconds.
7 press ups. Hold for 7 seconds.
6 press ups. Hold for 6 seconds.
Now comes the pain.
5 press ups. Hold for 5 seconds 3 inches from floor.
4 press ups. Hold for 4 seconds at 3 inches.
3 press ups. Hold for 3 seconds at 3 inches.
2 press ups. Hold at 2 seconds.
10 press ups. Then hold at 3 inches until burn out.
It hurts.
As suspected, needed another day of rest today, was a brutal challenge on Saturday, having had a very heavy training week. Think just 1 days rest after all that, even if fit, isn't really enough. Certainly didn't feel it for me. I could have pushed, probably not done the same sort of intensity and/or weight and really not enjoyed the session.
Better to listen to my body, do a bit of research (watching more of Jeff's videos) and recuperated properly ready to get back on it tomorrow. As I said yesterday, there are deadlifts involved in my next day of training, and they can be very taxing on the system, so want to be up for it
Yup, it is crucial we listen to our bodies and in fact, I wish I had more when younger as well, these things stack up! lol
This is my progress so far. Work to do. Lots of it. But getting there.
You could say I was a bit sweaty and very tired at the end of it.
