Another Girl

21-15-9:
Push press, 40kg (25kg)
Ring pull-ups

(20kg press, orange pull-ups)

Time: 5:27

Need to concentrate more on midline stabilisation through my workouts. I'm leaning back too much in the push press...and the issue is showing up in a lot of other movements as well. Kettle bell swings, for example.

This went over pretty easy. If you look at my heart rate profile, you'll notice a nice even rate around 175. However, I don't feel this is high enough, particulaly for a workout like this. I'm yet unsure as to where the blame for this lies - in my current level of fitness, or in the degree to which I'm pushing myself.

Push Press:

5-5-5-5-5

40 - 50 - 55 (failed on 4) - 55 (failed on 3) - 55 (didn't quite get full extension on 5)

Really need to get my mind together and focus on this year. It's going to take a lot of work to get where I want to go...and I certainly won't be satisfied until I get there.

I think with a better mindset I could have done better tonight. I know that the satisfaction of having a couple of good, consistent weeks of training behind me will make a big difference.

Back to eating well, though I must confess to have succumb to half a bottle of wine and a couple of smokes over the last couple of days. This has to stop, now.
