Didn’t manage to workout on Mon & Tues as I was busy with shoots, emails and editing. Which is normal but somehow Mon & Tues seemed particularly busy 0.o

Hours of Sleep: 9 hours BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SO HAPPYYYY!
Brunch: Cereal with soy milk
Lunch: 4 slices of lamb and a large portion of mix veges, 1 sprite and 1 chocolate muffin

Okay, after that I can’t remember what I had for the next couple of days cos I forgot to note it down. Soepicfaildotcomdotmy.

WOD 112509 (Wed)
Four rounds of:
Run 400m
Rest 2 minutes
*Make each run an all-out effort. Try to keep your times for each run as close as possible.
Results 1:24 | 1:34 | 1:47 | 1:50
My calves were feeling the burn from second round onwards. Smoke summore!

Back squat 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3
Results: 40 | 50 | 60 | 60 | 62.5
Kinda scary doing back squats. Even though its only 3 reps, I was thinking to myself ‘what if I injure myself??!?!”. Hmm…in hindsight I might’ve pulled my lower back muscle doing back squats instead of snatches.

3 rounds of
10 Deadlifts 55kg
10 Pull Ups CTB
Results: 9:26
Did this after the backsquats. Combine this together with CTB and bodyweight deadlifts, one turns into a pussy in no time. Meowww!

WOD112609 (Thurs)
150KB Snatches for Time
Results: 13:01 (12kg)
Didn’t even attempt to lift 16kgs as I knew my form was gonna run off by the first 50 snatches. Form wasn’t perfect as I ended up swinging the kettlebell half the time instead of thrusting it upwards. Practice!

3 rounds of;
50 Sit Ups
20 HSPU
Results: 8:03
I *heart* sit ups and HSPU :D

Nov 28 (Sat)
400m walking lunges
Results: 9:32
Couldn’t do the wod cos of my back so opted for lunges as it was one of the few exercises which didn’t affect my back. Bubble butt, here I come :p

Sidenote: On Thursday, I felt a slight pain on my lower back, it was painful even when I was standing especially whenever I arched my back. Took a day off working out on Friday thinking it was just a minor thing. Come Sat, I couldn’t even lift light weights without feeling the twinge on my back, so after Pushmore and lunch, headed over to the Oriental which specialises in sports injury. I’ve been there a couple of times prior to this to treat an old shoulder injury which took a while to recover. This time round, I could feel the difference immediately after the 10 - 15 minutes session. Now I just need to take a week off doing any back workouts. But the barbell’s SO TEMPTIIIINGGG!

Looking back at the few workouts done within the week, I think I must’ve pulled a muscle when I was doing the backsquats (AND the deadlift thereafter >.<). Need to pace my workouts next time to avoid these sorta injuries. Form form forrrrmm.
