I was back at my home gym, the ever popular Fitness First in sylvania. I've no training partners today so pushing myself was going to be interesting.
Having just competed at my first competition I had a few weak links exposed so that has kind of inspired today's workout. I called it "The Weakest Link". Scale it to your needs and ability obviously if you're willing to try it, or just have a crack at it.
I picked 5 exercises that I'm not so crash hot at and 1 strong one and It looked a little something like this:
600m Row
50 Overhead Squats at 30kg
50 Ring Dips (so difficult, clearly biggest weakness)
50 Knees to Elbows
50 Strict press at 20kg
50 Burpees (This was my good exercise)
50 Ring rows (I need to get some video of this one)
600m Row
27:41 and I was on the floor. Getting up from the floor was the hardest thing.
So I struggled my way through just about every aspect of that workout, including the burpees, as a side note, doing strict press before burpees is a terrible idea, makes it 10 times harder.
But for all those looking to become better at whatever fitness level you're after, or any sport, my advice to you is not to focus on your strengths... I mean they're already your strengths. But actually find what you're weakest at, those exercises that make you say "well maybe I'll do them next time", and take those exercises on.
Make them a part of your everday workout and watch as your level grows at an exponential rate.
Remember, It's not that you don't have the strength, you just have to find the will.
Train Hard.
