I genuinely struggle to balance with kettlebells. I think I’d need a team of spotters to do it with a bar. Or maybe some training wheels
Legs this morning. Log inbound tonight. Work has been super busy but fucking great lately
So good when this happens.
Well shit. I forgot to log all last week but it’s been going great. Training and life in general. Will log properly tonight. Diet starting to tighten up now.
Good to hear all is going well. Look forward to catching up on where your training is at.
Week 3 was just really a repeat of week 2 but a little heavier lol

Tomorrow will be a couple of mile intervals I think
Ran a total of 6km today
Ended up doing intervals in KMs as watch was set to metric
3* 1km intervals, 4:01, 4:20, 4:40 paces
Then just jogged out the rest of the distance at about 7 minute km pace. Just really trying to build up the total gas tank as well, rather than just doing what I always do which is burn out on one or two miles
Did some tabatta skipping last night also
4min k is decent pace. Well done
Fixed for me.

How’s the transformation going ?
Pretty good mate. I’ve started restricting carbs to fruit and veg for 5-6 days before adding in a higher carb day and it’s going well so far. I wouldn’t be in ketosis but easily under 100g carbs per day. No loss in performance or anything. Not going ballistic on processed foods on the high carb day either, but enough to stay sane haha
I’m sitting at about 77-78kgs most days so I’m down about 3kg from when the challenge started

- 150 tricep extensions
- Farmers carries + sled drag combo 3 mins total time
Is this like a board press ?
If it’s what I’m thinking of sort of but not. You have a foam pad where the board would be and pull the bar down through the pad until it compresses. I think it’s meant to make you more conscious of what happens in that final third of the way down.
