L4D2
untimed

i decided to give myself a "break" this morning by doing the WOD without chasing the clock and in stead, concentrating purely on form.

L4D1
26 rounds - PR by 2 rounds

very glad that i could start the week on on a high note, but having said that, i ended last week on a very low note.

purely for no other reason than laziness, i didn't do L4D3 last week and i am very disappointed in myself. hope it will not happen again!

to say that i'm disappointed in my time is an understatement of note!!! a full 7 sec's slower than last week. i cannot understand it. after posting PR's on D1 & 2, surely my time on D3 should have improved?
any suggestions?

seeing that this was my rest week, i decided not to time D's 2 & 3, but rather to concentrate on form by doing the exercises slowly, with proper ROM. hopefully this will lead to some extra strength.

although 2 less than my PR, my body felt this morning's workout during the day. i wouldn't be surprised if i'll be stiff and sore tomorrow!

8 sec's slower than my PR. although i can feel that i've had two good sessions this week, it unfortunately doesn't show in the results. maybe there's a surprise waiting for me on D3

when i said on wednesday that "maybe there's a surprise waiting for me on D3", i never in my wildest dreams could have imagined a time of 4:27!
it's almost a minute faster than two weeks ago (last week was a rest week).

i know i should be moving to L5 on monday, but to make sure that i own L4, i'll do it again next week.

enjoy your weekend!

i had a bit of a rough weekend, so the body wasn't as responsive on monday morning as what it should have been.

Nice work man, and sadly we all have those days when you'r feeling a little run down.

I find it quite interesting to see how our numbers vary on the different days, and I must admit I'm a little jealous too on how you smoked day3 there. =)
Especialy when I manage to pull of better times than you on day2 but I just seem unable to channel that for test day.

[Ruli]

thanx for the comments slacke.

so, after a two week lay-off i decided this laziness is bullshit! started with L4D1 again today.what a disaster though - i could only manage 12 mins and 14 rounds before my tank ran empty.

will have to take it easy on D2.

[Ruli]

due to the lack of posts made after the 15th, you can imagine that i didn't do any workouts for the rest of that week, which is really sad from a personal point of view.

so, on monday i decided again to start getting into a routine and this is how my week went:

22 Sept
L3D1
24 rounds (PR for L3)

24 Sept
L3D2
untimed

L3D3
pull-ups: 8/4/2/1/1
push-ups: 20/10/3
squats: 33
4:04 (PR for L3)

as opposed to the previous week's "re-start" where i started on L4 (that's where i was before my two week lay-off), i decided to start this week on L3 and i'm very glad i did!
as what can be seen, i've posted PR's for L3 on both D's 1 & 3. just goes to show what can be achieved if you set you're mind to something! next week it's back to L4 again.

forgive me, but i have to say to myself: "welcome back!"
