SouthernBrother | Craig's Bodyweight Training Experiment | 18-06-2015 @ 00:36 | |
lazy boy Member 1746, 814 posts | **Caution. You are about to read a very boring log.** So after baby number 2 arrived training became very rare. Offen once a week, for less than half hour. This left me very moody, as I was not getting to do what I wanted.... So I have had a change of perspective. With a goal of keeping myself healthy, and training using my bodyweight. I spent £8 on a door pull up bar, and £5 on some parallets. 10-15 mins in the evening at the moment. I'm down to 80.6kg and looking to do u80 SM next year. But for now I'm very happy doing what I'm doing. I have one last comp on July 4th which I'll be 15kg underweight for. **This log will contain occasional lifting** | ||

I've read 'raising the bar' and 'convict conditioning' - not sure on the later, but it has good progressions to get the Mrs involved to help with post baby weight loss. | ||

But training so rarely I feel the need to push myself, lift heavier than is smart, and I pay for it. As well as not enjoying the session. I just can't get interested in lifting light either. Also, push pressing hurts my lower back, squatting med-heavy hurts my knees, and I can't get out of my head that my s**t DL form is ruining me. Whereas doing this is making me feel better mentally and physically. Helping me become more flexible, more agile and my daughter really wants to join in. I feel much better about this as her DL form is terrible too. Plus I'm sure BW training will do her good. Also, I'm falling in love with the progressions. There seems to be a never ending line of more difficult moves to try. Rather than chasing a number. I intend to start DL squat and strict press after my comp, very light, building very gradually focusing on form. | ||

Sugdens crazy old person. Member 4936, 7288 posts SQ 270, BP 155, DL 270695.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | It takes me 1/2 hour to get to the gym one way. I used to carry my little ones. Pull ups on local trees.your brain controls our bag of skin and bones. It's never too late, but the weeds will hide the path. Dont become old then chase down your training objectives. | ||

I see what you're saying billy... I think. Haha. I intend to still lift but focus on form and build strength in correct positions so that I can achieve my goals as I get older, rather than being injured. I also intend to compete at Englands strongest u80 next year. | ||
