Oh - don’t get me wrong - I am really happy, had just not expected it to happen so soon, when I could barely do 2 at the start of the year. It is like everything is coming together in a good way right now.

Am heading into a period of time, where I will have various stuff going on and training will take a backseat. Will still get some workouts in, but an structured, regular schedule will probably not happen.

Staying at mum’s place for a few days, so no equipment. But have to do something to justify all the good homemade food.
So did a few crunches this morning, followed by 200 push-ups in sets of 25.

“Pyramiding wod” - SS of:

Chin-ups: 2,3,4,5,6,5,4,3
Band pull-aparts: 10,14,18,22,26,22,18,14
Overhead press: 42x 4,6,8,10,10,8,6,4

Back home again, had a little time before heading out on todays trip. (Shopping with the girls. Yay.)
So inspired by the wods I am seeing on various logs, decided to come up with my own combi.
Was easy at the outset, but became somewhat hard around the turning point.
