Ah I see, sounds handy, must check out google for that 😀

Thanks

iCal is a little calendar on Macs. They are really convenient as you can sync them with smartphones and ipods, so I can easily carry my datebook with me. You could just as easily use google calendar I suppose.

I have a long handwritten workout log, like most of us do, but it is not easily searchable. I use my iCal to keep track of general workouts: what I did on what day and how long it took. So as long as I wrote the name of the workout correctly, I can search it, just the same as I can search anything on my computer.

Oh, I can also make alarms, so it will warn me about appointments, and that syncs with my phone too.

I have no excuse not to be organized and on time!

Glad you enjoyed this the second time around. What is an iCal?

Cheers

Its fantastic to go back and do an ‘old’ exercise again! I thought this would be way easier than it was though, so I am still humbled… 4 months later!

So today’s (march 8th) stats are:

1. Squat Down, Pistol up 10, 10 (still needed assistance)
2. Half Burpee 14.5, 13
3. Dyno Squat 30, 29
4. Ball pike and push up 10, 11 (still awkward, but better! )
5. Tricpe dip off ball & bench 23, 22 (yowzer these are tough!)
6. Rev lunge & kick R 19, 16
7. L 18, 16
8. Ball Jacknife 20, 20
9. Power Jacks 18, 20
10. Elevated Plank Climbers 12, 12 (still seriously hard!)

So when I compare back to November, I would say I am a little stronger in the upper body and more consistent overall (my numbers don’t change a lot in the 2nd round.)

It is fantastic to have this record so I can see what changed there are. I do have a workout log, but I also write down what workouts I do in my iCal, which is easier to search. When I knew I had done this workout before (I didn’t remember it!), it was easy to check here and see what my past comments were.

So, this is still a tough workout that is worth doing, esp when you are pressed for time!

Thanks Cade 🙂 Will think about it.

Great stuff. Really enjoyed it. I will try to implement some of your examples on my site and mention you. Let me know if there is ever anything I can do to help or if you need a guest writer always willing to write.

Thanks,

Cade

Glad you liked it 🙂 Your Subs work well btw.

Cheers for letting me know you did this one.

I saw this when you first posted it and knew it was one I had to try. I finally got around to it today, and as I’m sitting here dripping sweat and still panting, I had to let you know it was a good one! I had to sub the TRX for the ball but I think it gave the same effect. I couldn’t figure out how to work the TRX along with bench dips, so I just did the tricep dips suspended between two benches and left out the TRX/stability ball.

Loved it!

Thanks Tempest, Good to hear from you 🙂 Todays’ training went much better. Enjoy the workout – hope you get some air 😉
