I'm sure you'll find great increase in the intensity of both excercises. Again, be sure to concentrate the action on the upper abs in the crunch, and on the hips rotation for the lower ones.
It burns like hell when done correctly.

Yesterday... Just.. Just kept in the club with morning core work and few basic yoga poses before work.. Id planned a 5km run after work.. But a ten hour day turned into 14 of unrelenting chaos.
If ever there were a " fuckit, I'm having a beer moment" for me, that was it.. I declined the temptation.

Had a late start to work today, this is really a YYFY, but most pertinent to my recent whinging on here... Hit the board first thing, freezing.. Sent my project. 8 weeks of work. Found it piss tbh, as my core seems to be better, so I could do the last move with new beta.

My wieght is stabilising at 68.5kg with no supplements. My famously ill defined body is a little thinner. I'm doing 12 pull reps with a 3.5 kg weight belt, I'm climbing pretty well for me.

Slight tweak to elbow means I'll forfeit my free weights tonight ( its still Baltic in the garage anyways) and best I'll do tomorow is yoga / core / press up bar planks before work, as I'm on call for 24 hours tomorow.

I really don't care, I'm a very happy FD indeed.

No more whinging from me...

Sharkathon =

Fantastic.

Quite frankly I cant comprehend those working hours let alone fitting in training as well.

Hero.

On the wagon as of today. Up til 1:30 reworking spreadsheets, but deadline met. Down the wall now!

Sasquatch · January 14, 2015, 10:28:28 pm

Nibs description is exactly what we do for core type work in the Yoga class I've been going to. Legs pointed up towards the ceiling, hands clasped behind the head, point elbows toward ceiling, raise shoulders off ground by lifting elbows toward ceiling, Then raise tailbone off ground by raising your feet towrd the ceiling. hold there, then lower and repeat.

We do quite a bit of variation, but all follow the same basic pattern of raise shoulders straight up (not curling in), then raising tailbone straight up in some form.

On a different note, but weighted situps with the weight held overhead with straight arms tends to force a change in the situp movement where it doesn't seem to hit my back as much either.

Duma · January 14, 2015, 10:42:46 pm

90 min at wall, attempting last problem I've not managed of the current hard set. Very close to the move now, but no tick yet.

nik at work · January 14, 2015, 11:09:50 pm

Sounds interesting Sasquatch, doing it as a combined exercise, hmmmmm... still not sure my hip/leg flexibility is up to the leg side of things but I'll have a play.

Anyway just the 400 this morning and a lazy evening in front of the idiot box.

Did nothing yesterday unless you count a 45min walk (I don't) due to getting back from Glasgow very late from work. 2nd day I've missed during sharkathon

. I'll be back on it tonight though.

tomtom · January 15, 2015, 01:26:26 pm

11st 2lb this am. New low.

fatdoc · January 15, 2015, 01:41:55 pm

Not so much, she's still moving the upper body. Instead, you lift the head, neck and shoulders, then they stay stationary while you lift the tailbone off the floor. She keep her tailbone grounded and pulses her upper body.

I'll look for a video, or take a horrid one of myself to post up

Duma · January 15, 2015, 05:55:37 pm

90 mins at wall with daughter, so very easy. Off to lakes for the weekend tonight, so might not be posting for next few days, but will hopefully be stomping up amd down hills.

nik at work · January 15, 2015, 06:45:03 pm

The 400

45 mins swim

30 min BM session

Fatdoc sounds like the syke is back proper stylee, nice one beast.

the_dom · January 16, 2015, 05:54:42 am

Still on track.. barely.

kelvin · January 16, 2015, 07:50:24 am

A whole week of bed after work

and not to shag either. Whatever this virus is, it's had the better of me for a month now.

I've lost some weight so far but failed dismally at Sharkathon™ '15 and am only comforted by the fact that my Dryathlon lodger got completely wasted last night and I've had to wake the still pissed lad for work.

*back off to Power Club

Stick with it folks!

Fiend · January 16, 2015, 04:27:00 pm

14 - 3 hours medium bouldering / skin loss.
15 - 1.5 hours fairly solid mixed CV / core at GYM

I count brisk walking. This is the sharkathon not the power club, the point is to keep moving regularly, rather than training hard.

Nice tick for him and you.

Late start for me and had a short late sess at the Tor. Only the friendly Robin to keep me company. Bit soggier than last week but Perverse Reverse still dry. Amazing conditions and fingers felt stronger than ever. Last go as it was getting dark and got through first half for first time ever and got as far as getting my toe on the final jug. Need to sort a decent sequence for that last bit.
