Just sneaked in with the TGU, plenty false starts with the left but every right was strong, so made the difference. Altogether really chuffed!

Nice! I predict timed in a month or less. Once you can repeat timeless, timed was mostly mental in my experience.

Long walk in the fells today with family, no idea how many steps or how far but it was a good stretch.

4 x 1 - 24kg, 6 x 1 - 32kg. Left TGU stronger, right (free) leg still jumping a bit, but hoping a session with SFG this Thursday will help sort that.

Mil Press Ups: 10/10/10/10/10
 
Out of action this past 5 days with a bad back, I’m not certain what I’ve done but I managed to do it bending down very early morning to pick up something off the kitchen floor. What a PITA! On a more positive note I did manage to get a session in with an SFG on Thursday, picked up some good stuff, just no idea when I’ll get to use it!!
 
Happens to me also once in a while, luckily less frequent last couple of years. Good luck recovering (quickly).
 
Dude that sucks. I’ve been dealing with on and off back pain for about 17 years now. Haven’t had a really bad flare up in a long time thanks to figuring out some mobility stuff that works for me, but it’s not so far in the past that I can’t remember what it was like to be unable to work out for a week or more because of something seemingly so minuscule like picking up one of my kids or turning around “wrong” lol. Rest up and I hope you’re back at it soon.
 
Thanks guys. Yep, it really is hugely frustrating, I haven’t had any serious back issues before, I feel like my back is made of glass at the moment. I’ll give it a couple more days and then maybe see someone if there isn’t any improvement. I hate looking at my kettlebells just sitting there!!
 
Warm Up:
Hip Bridge 3 x 5
Halo 3 x 10 16kg
PGS 3 x 5 24kg

1-Arm Swing Practice: Untimed
6 c 10 - 24kg, 4 x 10 - 32kg. Ok.

3 minute rest:

Turkish Get Up: Biblically slow.
6 x 1 - 24kg, 4 x 1 - 32kg.
*Trying to apply adjustments demonstrated by SFG and focus on GLAG (grip, lats, and, glutes). I feel like I’m relearning the move to a point, but feel weaker and less confident.

Chin-ups: 5/5/3

Pi** poor show.
 
Warm Up:
StrongFirst Plank x 3.
PGS 3 x 5 24kg

1-Arm Swing Practice: 8 mins 30.
4 x 10 - 24kg, 6 x 10 - 32kg. Better, stronger hinges.

4 minute rest:

Turkish Get Up: 19 mins.
4 x 1 - 24kg, 6 x 1 - 32kg. Slowly through the reps, I’m still not quite rolling through with the left as cleanly, I’m still trying to ‘sit up’. I need to engage lats and abs more fully, and guide the bell slightly to the right before driving through to elbow.

Chin-ups: 5/5/5

Bar hang: 50 secs
 
Warm Up:
StrongFirst Plank x 3.
PGS 3 x 5 24kg
Halo 3 x 10 16kg.

1-Arm Swing Practice: 8 mins 32.
4 x 10 - 24kg, 6 x 10 - 32kg. Stronger again, less perceived effort.

4 minute rest:

Turkish Get Up: 16 mins.
4 x 1 - 24kg, 6 x 1 - 32kg. Slowly through the reps still, watching out for back twinges! Stronger this time, not perfect by any means but much better.

Chin-ups: 5/5/5/4.
 
Warm Up:
StrongFirst Plank x 3.
PGS 1 x 5 24kg, 2 x 5 32kg.


1-Arm Swing Practice: 8 mins 20.
4 x 10 - 24kg, 6 x 10 - 32kg.

3 minute rest:

Turkish Get Up: 17 mins.
4 x 1 - 24kg, 6 x 1 - 32kg. I’m timing, but I’m not looking at the time. The session with the SFG has highlighted some flaws in my previous technique, so although I’ve achieved ‘Timeless’ Simple, I’ve been working with a flawed approach. I think this is probably why I ended up hurting my back. Not a big issue, just got to retrain myself before pushing further.

Mil press-ups: 15/15/10/10

Bar hang - 60 secs
