Thought of you this weekend as I travelled through St Pancras (went to see Iggy Pop in Hammersmith) and saw a poster of transport police. How is your back?
Hi Chris. Back is still sore. I have managed to find exercises that don't aggravate it too much. I have got two compressed disks in my liwe back and some of the stuff from the disks is pressing on a nerve root causing the pain. As I gave had physio before the next stage is surgery :-(.
How was Iggy? I used to work opposite to the Hammersmith Apollo. There us a red brick building which is a BTP police station.
Regards
Rich

Sorry to hear that. I hope they sort the problem.
Iggy was fab- still can't keep his trousers up! Great for his age though.

Thanks Rich
Training with new trainer today. This guy is a little more relaxed. He said my TGU was fine. We worked on that for 30mins and then we did some squats and work on glute activation.
When I got home I did 2x15 negative pullups and 1x15 chin ups- some positive some negative.
Finished with a blast of cardio
5x45 swings 20kg- 30 secs rest between each set. Phew

Bootcamp/circuit class.
5 excercises 1 min each- as many as you can. Repeat four times attempting to do as many as in the first set. In other words compete against yourself-and I'm a sore loser. I ache now!
Followed by sprints and plank work

Great work, Chris!! Not sure what I will do after ETK and I need to give it some thought. I really enjoy the challenges we do here and the group involvement. Will give it some thought.

Training with new RKC, he is a little more straight forward and I can make some easy corrections. Just hope it's enough.
Thursday
Boot camp-had fun and am beginning to keep up with the others!
Friday
I had a really early morning and my body was fatigued so I just did chin up and pull up practise.
JM
Chin up ladder- can't do full hang yet but can drop some of the way before lifting myself again
3 rungs, first rung 25 sec hang--5 sets

2 TGU
5 goblet squats

Thanks but not my circuit. I've joined a boot camp for a while. Fun in a strange sort of way!
Remember sessions like that from my time in the military!!!

Running behind- due to tiredness and hectic lifestyle I suspect.
Thursday
No circuit as instructor was ill so home for general swings and pullup practise.
Friday
Circuit class-can do 20 push ups and 21 double thrusters now-much better.
Saturday
Technicaly rest day but we hired a van and I spent the day carrying lots of heavy stuff upa nd down steps and throwing it in the tip!
Sunday
More heavy lifting so stuck to pullup practise 3x15 negative and TGU practise with no or little weight. Still a little concerned about this
Monday
More driving around in the van but less heavy lifting.
