REAL workout #2

Pushed the envelope a little farther Wed and got serious. \
4 rounds this time- YES!

35 seconds rope work (varying modes)
5 double 24KG chest presses
5 strict pull ups
4 R/L 24KG windmills

On as rounds went up I added a rep to the chest presses so by round 4 I was doing 8 reps.

This workout was hard but felt GOOD. Got chest X-Rays back and I don't have pneumonia or anything else. Shortness of breath has just been getting over the H1N1 so I am cleared to push myself back to a full recovery. I can honestly say that after 2 actual workouts, it is already getting easier. It's a brave new world friends!

FINALLY

I put on my big boy pants and did a real work out. I wanted 4 rounds. I got 3, but that's ok b/c I am sore today. Awesome! Haven't been sore in almost a month or maybe even longer.

3 Rounds of

20 32KG swings
5 double 20KG front squats
3R/3L 32KG 1 legged dead lifts
core work (R1= alt leg raises, R2= v-ups, R3= F, R, L planks)

My lungs HATED this. It was hard. I was sucking wind- HARD. Chest X-ray results should be here by Thursday. I am going to keep pushing it and assuming I just need to strengthen my lungs back up until a doctor tells me otherwise.

Today is going to be some rope work (w/ the firehose), some pull ups and some KB chest pressing

Sucking Air

Tuesday I did 5 rounds of
10 24KG swings/ 1 TGU L/R
rest 1 min

Then I jogged a mile. My lungs almost collapsed.

Wed I did body weight day.

3 rounds of

15 naked warrior push ups, 20 v ups, 2rep-5hold chin up drill

Killed me. Chest Xray today. Having no lung power SUCKS.

Sunday and Monday off. Today I am doing swings and TGU's again

I have been short of breath and these workouts have been hard. I haven't been pushing myself b/c I don't know what is wrong. I went to doc today and got a chest x-ray to make sure I don't have pneumonia. Doc said I most likely don't and it is my lungs taking a hit from the H1N1 and it will take time to recover. If that is in fact the case, I am going to step up workouts a bit and push myself more (not excessively but in a healthy way)and get my lungs back. I will find out tomorrow on the lung situation.

Couldn't Take it Anymore

I worked out yesterday. Nothing too brutal. But I figured that I needed to do something, if for nothing else to try and strengthen my lungs.

I did the filthy 50 minus the burpees so without setting down the 20KG bell
5 rounds of
5 swings L/R
5 snatches L/R
15 seconds rest
45 seconds plank (per round F, L, R, then 30 v ups)

This was only about 45% as bad as I thought it would be. I was fine until I started round 4, then my lungs started to hurt. After round 5, my lungs were really tight. I walked 1/3 of a mile to cool down.

I am going to keep doing workouts like this until I recover. Today will be heavier swings 10 sets of 10 (or 5 sets of 20, not sure) with the 24KG. I'm taking it back.

Tedious Tedium

so i'm still not 100%. don't have a lot of energy. the H1N1 flu kicked my ass hard. all i did last week was rest and eat- A LOT and i still lost two pounds! wtf!?

i did a little workout sunday, 50 push ups, 30 pull ups and 3 rounds of 10-2 twists. haven't done anything else yet b/c i don't really feel up to it yet. i am not happy about this.

This week...

I am about 90% better as of today. I finish my anti-biotics tomorrow afternoon. I have, however, decided to take this week off to fully recuperate. I still feel a little short of breath and think that my body went through a hell of a time fighting off the H1N1 virus.

SOOOOOOOO..... rest this week. Not even 1 pull up. Just resting and eating. Does anyone know how hard this is going to be for me? UGH!!!

The clock starts now...
