Well, laidback in terms of working out anyway. Went for Vinyasa 2 on Saturday morning and I struggled through the poses as my legs were feeling tight from the deadlifts on Friday. Definitely need a dosage of yin for a good stretch!

OMG!! It’s exactly 2 weeks since I last worked out. Like WTF?!!?! That’s a loooooong time of not working out in my books. Even though I brought my running shoes to Sydney, I didn’t exercise one single bit. It was either too cold or I was too busy pigging out. Mmmm..mmmmm. No regrets there. Anyway, woke up this morning and headed over to Pushmore to get my endorphin fix for the day. Briefly warmed up with a few squats and sit ups and jumped into the following workout;

Chelsea – every minute on the minute for 30 mins do;
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
Results: 5 rounds + 5 pull ups (CTB)
By round 4 I was already thinking to myself “This is what you get for slacking off for 2 weeks. But NO REGRETS for I got to nom nom my heart out. wOOt!”. Then at round 5, I just thought, “*bleep* this *bleep*, I’m takin’ a break”. Well 5 rounds was exactly what I aimed for and it was what I did. So I won’t beat myself up for it. Well, not too much anyway :p

100 Deadlifts @Bodyweight for Time
Results: 19:03 (55kg)
Did additional 4kg above my bodyweight and had fun doing this workout for deadlifts are one of my fave weight exercises. True, I was grunting like a caveman towards the last 30 reps but its a great workout nevertheless. Lets see how sore my muscles will be tomm.

Managed to get 7.5 hours of sleep last night. And that was epic! Forced myself to continue sleeping even though I woke up after 5 hours. Felt good to be able to put in more hours of sleep. Wheeee! Aim to make this a regular thing :D

Moving on to today’s workout, didn’t do the one ‘prescribed’ by Pushmore but did workouts from last Friday and Saturday. Had double shots of caffeine prior to heading to the gym, think that’s what was driving me throughout :p That being said, am feeling the DOMS on my lower back from the previous days workouts (deadlifts FTW!)

Three rounds for time of:
30 Medicine Ball Cleans @ 10kg(M)/5kg(W)
30 Push Ups
30 Walking Lunges with a 20kg(M)/15kg(W) Plate Overhead
Results: 28:10
Second round was a killer. My hamstrings were crying out loud for goodness sake! The easiest part of the workout for me was push ups, whenever it was time for the cleans and lunges, my lower body was feeling the brunt. Good workout nevertheless!

21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps for time of:
Handstand push-ups
L-pull-ups
Results: 23:14
After resting for approximately 15 minutes, I started on the second workout and it was fuuuuun. Ok, so I couldn’t really do head to floor for HSPU, most of the time was halfway through. Not exactly pussy HSPU, but slightly more than halfway so yayyyy! As for the L-pull ups, I did knee ones instead as my abs are not conditioned enough to do L-pull ups. Yet ;)
