Simple Practice.

Warm Up:
PGS 3 x 5_24kg

1 - Arm Swing Practice: Untimed.
4 x 10_24kg, 6 x 10_32kg. Strong swings, no problem.

3 minute rest:

Turkish Get Up: Untimed.
2 x 1_24kg right. Easy.
3 x 1_32kg right. Easy.
1 x 1_32kg left. Worst ever.
9 x 1_24kg left. Easy, but I can tell form is still wrong, right foot still jumps as I’m not rolling correctly. This is what is stopping me from progressing.

Chin-ups ups: 10/5/3
 
It’s the Podgill viaduct just outside Kirkby Stephen. It is a lovely circuit and has some lovely ancient woodland walks. Teenage boys don’t necessarily agree however!
 
Simply BAD.
Head not right tonight, feeling in a crappy mood and lacking motivation. I can’t get my head around what is going wrong, but I’m definitely slipping backwards in my training. If anything I feel weaker than before.

Warm Up:
PGS 2 x 5_24kg, 1 x 5_32kg

1 - Arm Swing Practice:
4 x 10_24kg, 6 x 10_32kg. Swings feeling tired, struggled to complete.

3 minute rest:

Turkish Get Up:
9 x 1_24kg right.
1 x 1_32kg right.
10 x 1_24kg left.

Chin-ups ups: 7/7/6

Maybe take a few days off? It might help.
 
Maybe take a few days off? It might help.
It might but I had taken an extra day off for that reason, it’s the TGU that’s really bothering me, the right side is fine, but I’ve never nailed the form properly with my left, and it’s now starting to become a source of frustration for me.
 
Try not to let frustration bother you. I know, easier said than done. You have great consistency. I personally gave up on the TGU. Maybe a magie exercise to many, but after a while they gave me trouble and nagging pain the right wrist and left knee. Decided it was it not worth to me.

Msybe a few extra days of might help, or skip the tgu a few days. Or if you like doing them, go back in weight fo a couple of days. Who knows, maybe it works. The body is sometimes a weird machine.
 
I’ll have to scale it back for now, otherwise I’ll just keep banging my head against a wall and my motivation will suffer. Thank you for your kind and wise words, I’ll take a couple of days off, and think about the way forward.
