Thoughts and Notes

Everything is feeling really really good with daily training. My energy is high, grip strength is great, numbers are going up and my resting/average heart rate has been steadily declining. I'm really enjoying keeping calisthenics as the main meal and kettlebells as the spice. Every morning I go for an hour long walk as well before drinking any coffee. I keep recovery a huge priority on this program. I go to bed early enough to wake up naturally without an alarm.

This is My Exact Program :
Mobility (Done everyday without exception)

  2. Neck turns and nods
  3. Arm Circles

  16. Trifecta
    1. Bridge Hold
    2. L-Sit Hold
    3. Seated Twist Hold

    1. 3 x 5 Spread Throughout the day
  18. Seiza sitting often
  19. Spinal Rocking
  20. Crawling
  21. Passive Bar Hanging and Twisting

Note on Goblet Squats
Daily prying goblet squats with curls are feeling really excellent. On non squat or non weight training days they're done lighter -- 3 x 5. On squat days they're heavy -- 5x5. On weight practice days they're done heaviest for 5 x 3 in-between sets of Turkish Get Ups.

No matter what though, I'm squatting every single day.

Met a cool guy today at the park today, who's into that barstarz stuff. He was very very proficient at pull ups and we had a good chat about kettlebells, calisthenics and politics. It was interesting to say the least.

Supersetted with 4(1,2,3) Chin Up
4 minute 24 kg swing -- Hard Effort

**I feel allot better sticking with military presses. It's allot easier for me to replicate the rocket analogy of the press.**

Today I met a Marine veteran at the park who served during the late 1960s. We had a good talk about service and the current situation with us pulling out of the middle east/Syria. It's pretty staggering how many veterans there are in the United States, even if they don't especially look like veterans.
