On my 3rd week of hundred pushups. It's really cool. I'm really able to add a rep or so every other day.

[Mjting]

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).

[NiX]

Wow. You should be on Week 5, column 3, then.

[Mjting]

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.

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.

[Mjting]

for me bodyweight exercises>weightlifting

if you REALLY want to hit the weighs, just use free weights, and go for practical movements.

[J.E_Magog]

it kinda sucks when you've got big muscles but you can't carry your own weight.

anyway, some parkour training

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.

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
