Previously in my log,
I was moving house and moving in with the in-laws,
until our new place was finished.
Well that all happened and we have been living in our new house for almost 4 weeks now, its been awesome.
I have just returned to work from holidays over the Christmas period, it was a much needed break and it was good to spend some time in our new house.
Workouts over that period have been non-existent, although I have been digging plenty of trenches and holes (for trees) and mowing a massive area of grass that was almost as tall as me in places. I guess to be trendy I can call it GPP, but I’ll stick with yard work, and for the first time in years I have been riding my bike a few times a week, it’s about an 8km (~5miles) ride to the post office/general store up some hills that make my legs burn like crazy, its fun and I have a lot of room for improvement.
I bought Zach Even Esh’s Underground Training Manual and now that I have all the space in the world at home I will be getting into the whole Sand Bag, Keg, Tire Pulling / Dragging workouts along with plenty of bodyweight stuff time to get me some real man strength going on whilst the weather is hot and just to get all the neighbours thinking I’m crazy.
I have started doing the program from the manual and as I can get some more equipment together I will probably change / add to them a bit.
New Year, New Log, New Goals
Athletic is probably a good word to describe what I’m after this year.
Not worried about getting bigger or any specific numbers to hit at the moment, Currently I feel good and (Think I) look pretty athletic, I just want to increase my over all strength and have a lot better conditioning and of course continue working on my hip mobility.
As of this morning I was
5’ 10” and 178lbs
That’ll do to get started.
