Felt absolutely dead today, so today's workout was really long, and not even all that great. Still, glad I did it, and looking forward to tomorrow.
Bah, this was spread out and sketchy. Felt really good at first, but then I just lost it.

Very short, very scattered. Oh well, I guess the slight break won't completely derail me...still, don't want to make a habit of it.
Simple stuff today.

Dang, I have no clue why I've been feeling so tired lately. This one was a bit of a pain.
Pretty standard core work day, with the addition of the bottom half of some hollowbacks presses. The wrist pushups are getting better at least, and I think my OAOLPU is as well, but my form may be a little off (still have to get a decent camera). Started doing some scapula pulls in a one arm hang to try and get strong in the bottom half of the OAC, and I think it's been working alright.

Should I keep writing out my whole workouts like this? I want to keep the journal going, but I'm wondering if doing these lists is really helping me out at all, or if I should just post comments about my workout in general.
Blah blah, core workout today.
Standard series done, as with FSPs. Think I gotta start doing the planche first, since I'm weakest at it and it takes the most out of me. Played with a press from straddle L as well. Made it so my feet were a few inches ahead of my hands. Wriggled up into a stand and continued the press. ... :shock: ...well, we'll see how things progress.
Cast wall walks as well as AG walks. Probably gonna do some more ring handstands and PL leans later on.

A little briefer today. I figured I'd give myself a bit of a breather since my forearms were still kinda crying for respite. Well, I'll put the little buggers in their place once they're feeling better.
Felt a little better today.

Might start doing the ten minute round of MSH to swap out my usual runs of it. I really want to see where I can go with this one.
Also, as it turns out, working in a job that requires manual labour is a great warm up.

could've been better, could've been worse.
On an unrelated note, one of the straps on my ring setup has been slipping. Might just order another set (unless I can just get extra straps) and use these ones for a dream machine. Breaks' (I think that was who it was) design looked pretty awesome.

Looking back, I probably should've done a few PL leans, AG walks or XR HS...dang, I'm slacking.

Skipped the wrist series today (wrists have been killing me lately), and played around with NLC (can do it with two fingers assistance at the hips) and a manna from the elbows. It's nowhere near the amount of strength I'd need to do the straight arm manna, but it was interesting to try and lift my butt off the ground in an pike. Might be fun to play around with.

played around with some Youngs from the book. Not really sure if I'm doing them right, but they were fun to try, anyway.
Ugh...felt like absolute crap today...stuck it out though.

yeah...missed a lot today. oh well, i'll chalk it up to my overall condition.
dude how long are your workouts generally?
erichlin said:dude how long are your workouts generally?
Usually span from 1.5 to 3 hours. That's including the breaks I take in between certain things, and the meal I have between the stuff at home and the stuff at the gym.
They're long as hell, I know. :roll: I rationalize it by saying "I just like to enjoy myself."

Found it really hard to summon the strength I needed today. Oh well, guess that's why it was supposed to be a rest day.
Did a bit of a restorative thing today. Got my atlas aligned, so we'll see just how that affects things.
Unfortunately, it also means I have to take it easy for the next couple of days. I'll probably end up doing a lot of research and whatnot, but here's hoping things are better for it.
Also found out that I have major bad posture (as those of you who saw me at the May seminar no doubt saw), so y'know...lotsa fixin' to do.
Getting back to my workouts tomorrow. 'Bout freakin time.
You never realize how much you want something as when you can't do it.

Hey,
for what reason did you get your atlas aligned? Did you feel any changes/improvements?

I know exactly what you mean..
Donar said:Hey,

Supposedly it was out of alignment (luxated) since birth. While not debilitating, it did mean I got a LOT of headaches, made it difficult to sleep entire nights, and threw my posture off. I just got it fixed to hopefully relieve these things.
Been too soon to really notice any changes, but my head hasn't hurt quite so much as before,
Back! Yeehaw! Still gotta take it slow for a bit, but at least I can finally work again.
