Flying out to thailand tonight with the missus for a week of R
had a great week in thailand and got a bit of training in. I was going to try and go too thaiboxing gym but I was only there for a week and I couldnt be fucked in the end. The hotel had a pretty shitty gym but i did a bit there most mornings. Just pushups, pullups, situps, some stuff on cable machine.
did some conditioning stuff on the treadmill. it only went up to 9.9kmh so cranked the incline up to 10, and did
sets 0f 400m then 20 pushups x 4. I was puffed and sweating like a bastard after that in the heat.
Tuesday 6/2/12
terrible workout today. my right wrist felt a bit sore and when i started the bench it was killing me. so gave up pretty early on that. felt weak as piss and pretty deflated after it.
bench
5x75kg, 5x85kg, 1x95kg - supposed to get 5 here.
tried 60kg and the wrist was still at me so gave up on the bench.
did some dips and push ups on the suspension handle things. much easier on the wrist. it seems to be only when its palm facing away that bothers me. neutral grip is fine. i did a shit load of push ups last week in thailand sop not sure if that has anything to do with it.
