Back at work this week.
I hope to get some more consistent training in whilst out here however I am only back for a week.
Today we did a hot fire drill in 42 degree heat in our large steel fire mock up in full turnout gear and wearing BA, man it was hot!!....I lost some serious fluid.
Training
I Did half hour of yoga this morning- got a great cue from Jon Hinds yesterday form his blog- try to get an extra inch out of all your pose cues- this helped a heap as it keeps you focusing on lengthening and expanding.
I didnt really feel up to doing much after this mornings drill however I decided to give the bar-barian challenge a crack and was not expecting great things.... I was not disappointed :)
Got it done in 7 mins 30 secs (20 secs slower than my last attempt)
Muscle ups 5 (assisted 20kg essentially a 90kg MU)
Dips 45 (28+10+7)
Pullups (8+4+4+4+3+2) bombed on these badly.
Push ups 55 (38+17)
Muscle ups 5 (had to assist 30kg here as I was spent- these were horrible walkover jobs but got all 5 straight.)
Rode the bike home and stopped briefly at the play ground where I did 4 sets of 5 L& R power jumper pistol jumps.
I put a black band (100lb resistence at the top) on completed a 1 leg squat to a 18" platform (half a pistol) then exploded up. This is a cool band loaded 1 legged plyo movement. I got the idea form local Darwin lad Matt White (our resident gymnastic coach) who recently snapped his ankle doing some Parkour moves and who obviously has been doing all his lower body training 1 Legged. I really like this one a lot.
Eating lots again out here. I have not been eating as regularly as i would like whilst at home as i get side tracked/interupted too frequently and its usually way too hot so normally I am full of fluid trying to stay hydrated.
Looking like the Aussie CNT may be back on again mid year however it looks to be in Darwin not on the Gold Coast as originally planned. Will keep you all posted on developments.
