The Reason I made a new training log : This is pretty different from anything I've done before and this log has a different goal in mind. It's a milestone for me to put the kettlebells down and start moving my body weight exclusively which I admittedly find pretty difficult. I thought I was strong because I lifted but calisthenics seems to be a whole different skill. I'm excited to become more proficient in moving my body.
Link to old log : Cultivating Discipline -- Marcus Aurelius
Program : I've lifted kettlebells for a long time but I think it's time to make a change. I've messed around with calisthenics in the past but I've never taken it very seriously. My current goals are to enlist in the United States Army and they require a decent proficiency in calisthenics. Ideally I want to build a very large base with calisthenics and then add in a little weights someday. Maybe some deadlifts, loaded carries and turkish get ups. For calisthenics I just want to master the basics maybe working up to single limb stuff but no tricks like muscle ups or flips. Throughout all of these mobility is done everyday with a good amount of walking, about 15,000 steps a day. Mostly the trifecta stretches and joint circles.
Diet : I eat three meals a day. Lot's of whole grains, protein, veggies, fruits and nuts/butters.
Goals :
My Current Plan (I use all the Convict Conditioning's as a guide but not a Bible) :
