RE: The General Fitness Thread - NiX - 02-02-2010
On my 3rd week of hundred pushups. It's really cool. I'm really able to add a rep or so every other day.
RE: The General Fitness Thread - Mjting - 02-02-2010
also tried to go for one big go at the pushups. seems like 60 is the limit for me atm.(on a fresh set-meaning those are the first pushups i did for the day. if I did some prior to the attempt, itll be much much less. around 40).
RE: The General Fitness Thread - NiX - 02-02-2010
Wow. You should be on Week 5, column 3, then.
RE: The General Fitness Thread - Mjting - 02-02-2010
I usually do 30 reps on two sets eh. the third set being on knuckles so it goes down to 20. so I didn't really know how many I could do on one go before. lol.

3rd week of boxing.
I can clear 5 km at the 45 min. mark regularly now on the off-days.
maintaining the skip rope for at least 1:30 minutes before tripping.
Also, I'm now at landing a clean double jab + straight combo on the speed ball, though the follow-up left hook + right body blow/upper needs more accuracy.
Tried a full-power body blow on the mitts yesterday. Right hand shot forced trainer on his toes
The windup is still horrible however - anybody can see it coming, so it needs more polish. The trainer kept smacking my head when I dropped the arm too low to ready the punch 
Left hook beginning to land with a loud *snap* instead of a dull thud.
Doing about 150-200 reps on abs (2 sets), doing jab-straight on the contraction phase, with 2-lbs dumbells per hand.

I'm on my 3rd week too
On the 2nd week I introduced bodyweight exercises for T,T,S, instead of doing weights the whole week. I'll include cycling too, when the bike is ready.(11-18-2009, 10:03 AM)J.E_Magog Wrote: I used to weigh 120lbs now i'm 180 and I want to reach 200.And fuck this. I'd rather stay 180. I'm at 190 atm w/ love handles.
RE: The General Fitness Thread - Mjting - 02-03-2010
for me bodyweight exercises>weightlifting
if you REALLY want to hit the weighs, just use free weights, and go for practical movements.
RE: The General Fitness Thread - J.E_Magog - 02-03-2010
it kinda sucks when you've got big muscles but you can't carry your own weight.
anyway, some parkour training

RE: The General Fitness Thread - Twin-Skies - 02-04-2010
Trainer decided to up the ante yesterday evening
3 rounds heavy bag
2 rounds wall bag, emphasis on body blows and hook. He showed me a new left hook + left body blow sidestep combo
2 rounds mitts
2 rounds shadow boxing
3 rounds speed ball
3 rounds shadow boxing with 5-pound dumbells
3 rounds speed bag
In between rounds, the rest interval was halved from 1 minute to 30 secs, and aside from the breaks, I was pretty much swinging my arms almost nonstop for the whole session T_T.
That freaking hurt.

YESSSSSSSS......
RE: The General Fitness Thread - Shintetsu - 02-08-2010
Hahaha, asteeeg.
Ok, so I've been planning to get fit since last month. There's a gym here that I can use for free, it has all the basic equipment a gym usually has. CCP is also pretty close, so morning jogs are do-able. There's also a small pool and a sauna.
Any tips on how I could start? btw, I'm just looking to lose fat/better cardio
