Social 💪 Savage September

[timmy]

Thought id jump in. First weights work out 12 days after full left side hip replacement (I'm 48). Did it on a stool, actually not bad! Bit limited on what you can do, but banged out a solid 35 mins

Oh yes my old acquaintance......pain

Spring and summer are peak season for my brush cutting so it's an ideal time to implement extra curricular pain hahahaha

Gotta do something while our team is in pre season

Day 12-14 are the hardest mentally . You’ve done two weeks of exercising and aren’t even halfway done. Day 15 is a bit better.

Time to beat tomorrow.
Big lunch. Mistake #1 . This was harder than i expected.

A day off the terls did wonders for recovery.

So tonight was

Stretching. It's my nemesis

Crunches 10, 15, 20, 25, 20, 15, 10. The sets from 25 onward were harder. But that's how it's supposed to go. I needed two days off crunches lol.

Pilates. Ha I tried a Pilates press up and it was tragic so kept it to core and lower back.

Haven't mastered Pilates by a long shot so I'm trying to make gains where I can and see this as a keeper long term.

Another 500 KB swings down.

I was aiming to retry with the 24KG as the original aim was to do the full month with that. Got a bit paranoid about my elbow/forearm joint as the 2nd-4th I was pretty much nursed them through.

Ended up mixing it up.

100 24 kg
200 24 kg
200 16 kg

I might mix it up the next few days and transition to the 20 kg which is what I used to do this challenge with. The 20kg is a good balance of getting quick explosive movements on the 10-15 rep sets and also manageable on the longer sets.

Might also go back down later to the 16kg to see the time improvement.

My wife has a thing at work measuring their steps. Went out for a work with her to get her steps up and had the kids riding their bikes.

So I got a bit more activity in. Feeling good.

Told you my guy. Sneaks up on you real quick. I was at the shop today, will be heading down for a light gym session in an hour. Tomorrow we are back to 100% effort.

How about this, we're all going to die and everything is ultimately futile so what does it matter how much you punish yourself while you're alive? When you're dead you won't exist to remember the pain. So get out there and do it bro, push yourself harder than you ever have.

Glad to have helped motivate you bro, no need for thanks.

I aced sleep last night. 9 hours without about an hour of hovering consciousness amongst it.

Went for a walk at the park with my family sarvy.

Light dinner and will do my best impression of Pilates tonight. Shoulder impingement needs more stretching

Goal is min
10km
2hrs

I find the first 30mins the hardest.
Hard to control the mind. It’s all over the place.
But once you get into that rhythm and settle down into a routine it’s a lot easier ….

Any secret method to achieve that?
