There Will Be Sweat

Probably some blood too. No tears though. Never tears.

Basics in the Basement

In the basement for a late-night quickie. Messed around with some HSPU practice but didn’t do any heavy volume. Then I tried to mix up some basic movements in a different way. Testing out a new timer app, which seems pretty solid:

  • Pullups x 30 sec (13, 16, 15, 13, 13)
  • Pushups x 45 sec (26, 22, 18, 16, 16)
  • Squats x 60 sec (48, 40, 38, 36, 38)

Repeat 5x, resting 45 sec between sets

Muscular failure slowed me down on the pushups and I was sucking wind on those damn squats. Should have been more aggressive on the pullups.

Basement Workout

In the basement to squeeze in a quickie:

  • 5 Handstand Pushups
  • 10 V-ups
  • 15 Squats
  • 20 Jumping Jacks

AMRAP 10 minutes.

Finished 6 rounds + 5 squats. Also finished out that 7th round for good measure. I was pleased with the HSPUs tonight - many sets were unbroken. I think I really need to focus on positioning of my hands (fingers angled out slightly and wider than shoulder width) to keep these from falling apart.

Home Workout

Continuing on my do something every day goal, even when I’m home alone with the small wonder:

  • 20 Situps
  • 20 Supermans
  • 40 Squats

Repeat 5x

Not much to it, just wanted to get the old bones moving.

Core Workout

Another quiet home workout:

  • 5 Standing Wheel Rollouts
  • 5 Kneeling Wheel Rollouts
  • 30 sec Front/Supine Plank (alternate each round)

Repeat 4x

Then 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 situps.

Home Workout

I asked my lovely wife to design a quiet home workout. Here’s what she came up with:

  • Front/Supine Plank x 60 sec (alternate each round)
  • Squats x 30 sec
  • Lunges x 15 sec

Repeat 10x, resting 15 sec between rounds.

The planks got difficult near the end and the squats got my heart pumping, but the lunges were kinda lame since 15 seconds is nothing and I had to be careful not to make too much noise when my knee came down. Nice try, wife.

Death By Pushups

No time for a proper workout today, so I squeezed in a quiet home-based workout after putting the little one to bed.

With a continuously running clock do one pushup the first minute, two pushups  the second minute, three pushups the third minute…continuing as long as you are able.

Score: 18 rounds + 12. Oh lord.

Quiet as a Mouse

Another “don’t wake the baby” workout since I was home alone with the wee one:

Mixed up the pushups between regular, knuckle, wide, diamond, fingertip, and feet elevated on the couch.
