11 June

Partial Curl ups – 70
Pull / Chin / Neutral / Chin / Pull – 10,10,7+3,none,2 (90-120 secs)

I was doing some other fitness and strength tests this weekend and having done a maximum set of push ups and partial curl ups earlier in the day I was a little worse for wear. I also moved a sprint session to Saturday afternoon instead of Sunday and these pull up sets were after everything else. I took a brief rest before completing the other 3 neutral grip pull ups, and forgot that there was ab work to do as well.

That should be the only disruption and I’d like to think I can do the rest of this program without missing a rep.

8 June

Around The Square – 3 x 4
Tuck Jumps – 2 x 10
Floor to Ceiling Jumps – 3 x 10
High Knee Running – 3 x 40 contacts

11 June

Trek (plyos) – 1 x 20
Accels – 2 x 20m, 2 x 30m
100m – 12.56
200m 25.75

These runs were into a headwind so I was pleased with the times, especially the 200 which is 0.44 seconds faster than a month ago. I’ll probably do something else for legs in the summer but I’d love to pick up sprinting again next year or even to do the indoor 60m in Feb/Mar 2023.

1 June

Around The Square – 3 x 4
Tuck Jumps – 2 x 10
Floor to Ceiling Jumps – 3 x 10
High Knee Running – 3 x 40 contacts

3 June

Trek (plyos) – 2 x 20
Accels – 4 x 30m in ~4.5 secs
Sprints – 80, 100, 120m (10 mins / 12 mins) in ??.??, 12.72, 15.13

Always seem to screw up the hand timing with at least one rep. There was a slight headwind so I was pleased with the times.

5 June

10 minute run

I went online to register for the open meeting on 7th June but the deadline had already passed so if they decline my late entry I’m simply going to run a 100m / 200m on the evening of the 7th at my local track and then finish there.

31 May

Pull / Chin / Neutral / Chin / Pull – 8,6,5,6,2 (90 secs)
Side Plank – 2 x 50 secs
Wall Press Heel Taps – 2 x 13 per leg
Passive Hang – 45 secs

2 June

Pull / Chin / Neutral / Chin / Pull – 8,7,6,5,2 (90 secs)
Front Plank – 2 mins 45 secs
Wall Press Heel Taps – 2 x 13 per leg
Passive Hang – 80 secs

I was filming some other challenge which involved front plank and passive hang.

4 June

Pull / Chin / Neutral / Chin / Pull – 10,6,7,8,2 (90 secs)
Side Plank – 2 x 50 secs
Wall Press Heel Taps – 2 x 13 per leg

This was more of a struggle, I’ve been going through the motions so far as it hasn’t been a challenge at <= 8 reps. Total reps is creeping up slowly as the final set has dropped to 2 reps this week

24 May

Pull / Chin / Neutral / Chin / Pull – 6,5,4,6,5 (90 secs)
Wall Press Heel Taps – 2 x 10 per leg
Hollow Body Hold – 2 x 25 secs

Note that the previous week was also a hollow body hold i.e. static, and not a hollow rock.

26 May

Pull / Chin / Neutral / Chin / Pull – 8,5,5,4,4 (90 secs)
Wall Press Heel Taps – 2 x 10 per leg
Hollow Body Hold – 2 x 25 secs

28 May

Pull / Chin / Neutral / Chin / Pull – 5,9,5,5,5 (90 secs)
Hollow Body Hold – 2 x 25 secs
Wall Press Heel Taps – 2 x 10 per leg

The hollow body hold is the harder of the two so I did that first. I was expecting the reps to ramp up faster but I suppose this program is also for people who can only do 7-8 pull ups so they’d already be near their max.

Here’s my 12 dead hang pullups from day 0
