Simplefit

Taking a break from simplefit and moving on to starting strength. I'll probably come back to SF from time to time to work on my endurance.

congrats!

L1D3 (take it easy week): 2:35 Pullups: 6, 2, 1, 1 Pushups: 21 ( PR +2 ) Squats: 21 40 second plank x 2 6 chinups 3 neutral grip pullups Time 0:45 worse than my L1D3 PR but that is probably due to my adjusting to complete ROM dead hang pullups. On the other hand I hit a PR with 21 straight push-ups....

Progress at 13 weeks.. Not bad I think. Most recent pic was taken on the rest day after day 2 of a take it easy week.

L1D2 (take it easy week): 0:50, 0:48, 0:47, 0:48, 0:47 -> 5:00

30 + 35 second plank

5 neutral grip pullups.

Easy workout. Tried neutral grip pullups for the first time. Something I need to work on. Maybe I'll start alternating grips on pullups next week.

L1D1 (Take it easy week): 34 rounds ( PR +3 ) 30 + 30 second plank after. I was going for 40, trying to do 10 every 5 minutes. I got to 20 at about 10:45 but slowed down a lot at this point. I was at thirty at the 18:20 mark ang pushed to do 4 more. Guess I still had some more in me and the fatigue ...

Thank you Jonathan

Thanks polarbear. Consistency + determination to keep improving and it's actually not that hard. Maybe when I get to the level that you're at it will be a different story. We'll see.

L3D3: 4:43 ( PR -1:20 ) LEVEL UP! 10, 3, 3 -> 1:33 19, 8, 3, 2, 1 -> 4:04 33 -> 4:43 70 +50 second plank (3 mins rest in between) Slight kip on the last pullup of sets of 3. Last 3 pushup "sets" (3,2,1) where to failure. I pushed hard on the squats to get the time. Take it easy week next w...

I'm at L3 and close to beating it and my best L1D1 is less than half of what you just did. Maybe you should start at L5D1?

L3D2: 1:01, 1:06, 1:04, 1:01, 1:07 -> 5:19 70 + 50 second plank PST work 6 + 5 chinups Video taped my pullups and found that I wasn't doing dead hangs. I was only going about 70% down. I started working on that in sets 2-5. This is slightly disappointing but at least it's something to work on. The w...

L3D1: 22 rounds ( PR +3 ) Pullups: 10, 5, 2 -> 17 Chinups: 3, 1, 1 -> 5 70 second plank + 60 second plank PST work Looks like I'm getting better at this. I was going for 25 but slowed down considerably at around the 13th set. The first 10 were almost easy. Hopefully, I levelup this week or next. Pro...

L3D3: 6:05 ( PR -1:01 ) 10, 3, 2, 1 -> 1:45 18, 5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1 -> 4:40 33 -> 6:05 60 second plank + 50 second plank 5x2 chinups Personal best of 10 pullups in a row not to failure. Push ups are still a weak spot, I did 18 in a row (best on record for me so far) but was severely gassed after that. ...

L3D2: 1:06, 1;14, 1:08, 1:12, 1:10 -> 5:50 60 second plank Improvement in both time and strength today. Strict form on all reps and all sets. Was close to failure on the very last pushup of set number 5 but was able to pull it out. From here on I will do my PST work on off days so that I can focus o...

L3D1: 19 rounds ( PR +/-0 ) Pullup sets: 6, 5, 2 Chinup sets: 2, 2, 2 This was supposed to be yesterday's workout but I was recovering from a stomach flu and was quite dehydrated so I skipped it yesterday. Doing the endurance day while recovering from dehydration is probably not a good idea :). I di...
