Welcome to the Challenge. I like the mobility work and the foam rolling. It is good to see more people including that in their plans. I didn't add it to mine because I do it every day. I consider it a plus for my ADLs. Anyhow, have a great day and let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I'll be checkin in on you.....

Make today......... ROWDY AWESOME!

Back Squat= 3X8X 111lbs
Reverse Crunch = 3X8XBW
DB Rom Deadlift = 3X8X 33lbs Each Hand

Notes

The ab wheel is a very funny movement - I struggle to row right out without creating a bow in my spine (which is painful). Hope to add weight to both Squat and Deadlift next time.

Just finishing off my food complience chart so that will be up tomorrow

Good luck in the challenge!!

Intervals

Treadmill 2% Incline

5 mins warm up @ 3.7 mph

6 X 3.7mph for 90 secs followed by 10 mph for 30 secs

5 Mins Warm Down & 3.7 mph


Foam Roller Work

My intervals will be slightly changed from here on in. I'm going to adhere to a something I read by Alwyn Cosgrove. 1 min & level 10 intensity followed by 2 mins at level 6 (so each round is 3 mins). I'll start with 3 rounds and try to add one every other week so by the end of 8 weeks I be doing 7 rounds.

Is it safe to assume that your side won the 10 on 10???

[RacerBill]

Ah. You're converting Kg to pounds (thanks!) but it's still "football" and not "soccer." Trying to confuse the Yanks, eh?

Good work! That ab wheel is tough. It's quite the devilish little device, I think.

No, lost 6-4 - they had the best striker and the best goalkeeper in the squad

Big Boy Basics Week 1 Workout C

Mobility Work

7 X Excercise From MM
7X Excercise from IO
Foam Roller

Workout
Incline DB Row= 3X8X33lbs Each Hand
DB Row = 3X8X38.5lbs
BB Bicep Curl 2x8x44lbs + (1X8X33lbs)
Tricep Pushdown 3x8x77lbs

Notes

Aim to get the Row up next time and finish all three set of the curls @ 44lbs. Otherwise happy with this one.

Side note - strange how people take compliments differently - today I saw a guys in the 'hardly ever used' squat rack doing a fairly large weight with impeccable form. As he was finishing his set I was passing the station and said he had great form - his reply 'thanks mate - i've been working on squats for months just, I'm getting into the swing of them" With this I went on my merry way. Later an almost identical situation happend with a guy doing deads - this time the response was "what else do you expect - been doing this game for years lad"
