Recap - 02/02/2024 - Get Strong Phase 1/Week 3
Everything felt great this week. The hardest exercises so far are the hands elevated push-up and lying knee tucks. Week 4 rep ranges for hands elevated push-ups will definitely be trying but luckily regardless of how the daily workouts go in week 4, I get to test myself at the end of the week to see if I'm ready to move onto Phase 2. The reason why the lying knee tucks are a bit trying is because there is a lot of ab work in this program when you think about it. The warm up has a plank and hollow body hold. Then you have flex hangs and active hangs which are both done in a hollow body position. Then you have the lying knee tucks to round it all out. That is a lot of work and time under tension for the abs.

I'm looking forward to week 4 and the opportunity to see if I'm ready to tackle phase 2.

Why the Change and Where I'm Headed
  • I want a more lifestyle approach to fitness and I've always had an ideal program progression in my head that I think would work. Instead of following programs that go too fast for my recovery ability, I want to slowly build a base using basic calisthenics but not like an aggressive approach like 'Get Strong'. It's good but it's just not right for my current situation or lifestyle.
