OK so I thought I'd start a thread for everybody's workouts, hopefully we can learn off each other and incorporate bits of stuff from each other's homebrews.
Today:
Warmup: leg swings from all positions, 30 triple punches in horse stance, unloading wood from back of truck
3 rounds:
6 Turkish getups each side with 10kg, only managed 5 on last set
10 pushups
10 ab wheel rollouts from standing
Tae guek yuk jong, nai hanchi and chinto between and after sets, aiming for a 2 minute rest period (these seem to be getting longer the older I get (sadly)
Chins, single set to less than failure, only managed 1 miserable chin, not even a real pullup
Cool down: all the pinans and kushanku
stretch in straddle, forward bend and seiza positions
The actual workout is modelled on the routine I did as a kid during my brief and disastrous flirtation with the military, involving a short and hard circuit, but modernised to include a weighted exercise and with ab wheel standing in for the situps, The third exercise, in this case rollouts, is considered 'exercisers choice', so I can use a bit of my kit like the ab wheel, skipping rope, sometimes I might rip a heavy deadlift off the floor although obvioiusly that can't happen to often. Progression is a matter of doing the same workout 3 times and then adding 5 reps to the pushups or getting up to 10 reps a side on the TGUs then adding 5Kg and starting over on the reps.
So what are you guys doing?
