Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

I wanted a seperate post for this because I’ve never had any muscle definition in my lower back before in my lift and now they’re staring to show :D

So i’m moving tomorrow so I’m doing my progress update a day early. 1st is day 1 the rest are today, day 27

last balance and power workout for a while :( done this routine for 4 weeks, time to switch it up

Next 3 weeks

Chest and back with balance work involved

some HIIT plyometrics

yoga/recovery

Shoulders and arms along with core work

yoga

Legs and back with more core work

recovery/foam rolling

this next 6 weeks will be incorporating a lot more strength components then these past 4 weeks and should see a lot more results.

The man who has the largest capacity for work and thought is the man who is bound to succeed.

just bought a 4th medicine ball to get ready for 4 ball push ups next monday :)

Alright, awesome friend of 9 years want me to make a workout program consisting of mainly body weight and meal plan with lots of fruit…

Haha this shouldn’t be a problem :P

My nickname for her is “Wonder Woman” so obviously i’m naming it the Wonder Woman ass kicking plan :P

ght 

Really sad that I wont be doing this core routine for at least 10 more weeks

*insert sad face*

jesus, that back

jesus, that back

3 move combo move of the day :)

Slow-mo stability climber/stability ball burpee/Warrior 3 cross crunch


For the slow-mo climbers, widen your feet to make it easier. Core engagement is critical to do this move. Do 20 reps.

Stability ball burpees. Lift your right foot off the ground but keep your ankles relatively close. Jump back and do a push up on the ball, jump the foot in and jump up on one foot and then repeat the movement. 6 reps per side

Warrior 3 cross crunch. Any yoga lovers will like this one. Go into the warrior 3 position and slowly raise your body straight up. Bring the knee of the raised leg up to meet your elbow and return to the starting position. Go slow, engage your core, and do 10 reps per leg

I don’t feel sore after workouts anymore and it makes me sad :(

One more week of this then switching it up

Workout numbah two

Shock plyo HIIT for 25 minutes! woot :P

326 calories burned

Crossfit: Tabata something else

Pull ups

push ups

sit ups

body squats

389 calories burned

715 Calories burned altogether :)

Mule kick spider push up

Starting with hands on the floor and feet up by your hands, contract your glutes and use your hips to raise you feet up in the air almost like going into a hand stand. Use your core to lower your body as slow as you can to the traditional push up position. Put the weight into your chest, shoulders and triceps. Do a push up and bring your knee to you elbow then repeat on the other side. Jump feet to hands and repeat the whole movement.

Renegade row with a lolasona

Really tough. If you don’t engage your core there is no way you’re going to complete this exercise. As you can see, I only got a small few before I started struggling. Add a push up if you want to make it harder, but it’s already hard enough as it is. I recommend getting up to 8 clean ones before adding a push up. 

So next weekend I am moving and the place has wi-fi :( I won’t be on as much but when I am I will be uploading tons of veiseos, workouts and answering as many questions as possible.

My apologies if I don’t respond right away though :(

2 hour foam rolling session complete. Bring on tomorrows workout >:)
