last posted 1 month ago...wow

Life still chaotic with kids and business, motivated to do exercise but just struggling to get the time as crazy as it sounds.

Here is the good news

after reading this article it got me motivated again to eat well. Well that and summer coming up.

5 days done basing (sp?) my food intake around lean protein and vegetables for all meals. turkey and zucchini slice for breakfast and usually chicken or beef stir fry's cooked night before for lunch. 5 days down and i'm going well. No going to stress about some grains here and there if i'm out but am going to try and keep some real consistency in my day to day eating. So far its going well

Dying to get back into the weights though

Away for my first father/son camp this weekend then hopefully I can crack the exercise cherry

Goals

I'm trying to take a more balanced approach to exercise. Taking into account time limitations, physical ability and also enjoyment.

I like bodyweight/gymnastics stuff, so that is going to be a big part. I really like cleans (never thought i would say that a year ago) , OHS, front squats...don't mind thrusters.

I hate back squats and deadlifts. Sure they are two very important exercises that anyone would tell you should be in any serious strength program. The bottom line is , I am a weekend warrior that wants to stay fit and strong, really to keep up with my kids. I will get the deadlift advantages somewhat with cleans and the back squats advantages with Front squats and OHS. I then get to actually enjoy what I am doing.

I have this theory that sounds right for me. I want to be able to move my bodyweight very easily in all directions (gymnastics) . I can already do this and love the feeling that I can control my body well. The other thing I want to be able to do is lift the equivalent of my bodyweight (67kg) on a bar comfortably in a number of different directions. Clean, jerk, OHS etc. If both of these things are present I think i will have a good balance.

Goals - Lets list them

Gymnastics
Ring HSPU
Free standing HSPU
1 min Lsit

Weights
5 x BW clean - Shouldn't be too far off, can easily do 1
5 x BW Jerk - Not sure about this haven't done heavy jerks in ages
5 x BW OHS - did 2 yesterday, 5 should be in the near future

So the weights goals are really short to medium term and the gymnastics stuff is just fun, challenging stuff. Once I reach these it will be more about maintainence than continuous improvement.

We'll see how I go.

Healthy Start


I have decided to turn this into more of a health diary than an exercise blog, maybe because I am not exercising regularly enough! I'm actually cool with that, my life is jam packed at the moment and exercise often takes third place behind family & work....sometimes takes 4th place behind enjoying myself!

I am back on a health kick at the moment and am enjoying it so I am going to start logging what I eat. I am basing myself off the Primal Blueprint. Paleo base, a bit of dairy here and there, alcohol stays in, not that I drink that much anyway.

Breakfast
Zucchini Slice - 2nd time I have made this, used Italian sausage meat this time and it's nice but too rich, will go back to good ol' beef mince next time. Loving this for brekky!

1 x strong latte

Lunch
'Big Ass Salad' - Chicken, cap, mush, cuc, pine nuts, mixed lett, carr, Fetta and olive oil - Yum!



1 x strong latte

Apple

Diamond seminar
2 x Light beers
3 x Waygu on little bread things, not ideal but best on offer

Dinner
Home made rissoles


Planned exercise
I love Schwartz programming, it kicks arse! Workouts at home will roughly be adapted from Schwartz WOD's.

Next WOD up is
5 rds @30kg (rx'd 40kg)
15 x OHS
15 x Push Press
15 x Thruster
500m run (rx'd row)

Cant get it done tonight as I am at a diamond seminar, but hopefully tomorrow night. I love OHS, Push press so so and i hate thrusters, so there is a bit of everything

11/2 Frid - ROY

Was supposed to do this last night , before I did it I made this comment

Bwahhhahhah! Aaron you are turning into comedian, deadlifts sucked as usual

ROY - scaled

Time : around 30 mins

Notes: 1st rd of deadlifts unbroken, then they sucked a*se. My lack of regular exercise over dec/jan found me out as I really struggled with the 125 pullups, which in turn made the deadlifts a nigthmare. Oh well, just gotta keep working.

Thursday, February 10, 2011

Can't make it to the gym, Benji has given me this to do
