As I've written it's been really difficult to find the motivation to do my workouts recently. As shows by the lack of workouts as well. I asked my lovely lady friend to help me out with a really hard workout to kickstart me again and just for a little fun. She kind of leaped at the chance. I think becaus when I train her I don't have much mercy.
(10 strict pullups
10 full pushup burpees) *3
5 muscle ups
10 pushups
40m walking lunge
1000m row
40m walking lunge
30 squats jumps with 40kg
40m walking lunge
1000m row
40m walking lunge
30 squats jumps with 20kg
She went a little overboard but it was a great kickstart. Everything seems a lot easier now. So pumped that I got that out of the way. I've never felt so physically drained though. I felt so out of energy it was almost too much to bare. But well worth it.
I'm glad I asked for help instead of trying to do it on my own. Sometimes it's worthwhile trying to get help with something rather than struggling with it to a point of plateau.

Too heavy.
3 sets at 70kg
Deadlift
Hang power clean
Push jerk
so ridiculously heavy. I could barely do the exercises. I didn't think it was going to be that hard. I'm glad I didn't time myself. I went into the workout confident that I could lift the weight and ended up dropping it for the last set. Which means I didn't know my own limits and that's a dangerous situation to put yourself in when you're trying to push yourself. No injuries though which I think is a bit lucky but still happy that I completed the workouts.
Lesson to be learnt is to know and undertand your limits. Especially better than what I did. Otherwise you end up in a situation that is all too much too handle and could cause yourself some serious damage. Find where you're at to get where you're going.

Lite 'n' Weasy
I love making punny titles up. Weasy beacause I'm sick and I'm wheezing yet the workout was pretty easy. Anyways, enough of being stupid. I decided even though I was sick I need to get into it because I've only got 1 month until the sectionals arrive.
7 rounds:
7 pullups
7 squats
7 situps
Really simple light workout designed to just work up a bit of a sweat. Enjoyable though and it shows a determination that even when you're struggling you can still achieve something. We followed with some leg hang pullups. essentially your aim is to switch the core on do a pullup all the way through to the top to achieve greater strength. Did max reps, which after having done 49 already wasn't too many.
Something to work on I guess. Then I finally finished with some Bench Press for strength.
5,5,5,5,5:
80,90,95, 97.5 ( 4 reps) ,80
It was nice to do, new PR on the bench press, 4 reps at that weight is higher than my previous max rep. So excited, Looks like I'm still getting crazy good results.
Crossfit, the only way to go.
