12-09-17 (Saturday) HY: 12 Days of Fitmas Day 5 + OCR Dead Hang Day 9 + Ab EMS + TCF.
Usually, Saturday is an off day, but since I'm all caught up in these challenges, it can't be a full off day. I had to get my challenges done, SOOOO, I went through all my challenges and crushed them.
I did the Dead Hang first. As I said yesterday, I wanted to up the ante and do something that would hopefully increase the improvement speed. So this is it. I am adding a 5kg med ball to the challenge. I am going to use that ball for a week and see how it goes the day after without the ball, most likely next Saturday night. My best straight time was 90 seconds one week into the challenge. Now, I want to see how more stress will improve the training. Day 9 is 2 minutes and 20 seconds. I did it with three divisions: 60-40-30-10. Those last 8 seconds in the 30 second block were torture! The burn was majorly intense and painful. I couldn't finish out with 40 seconds. I had to tap out, then come back with a tiny 10 seconds which were no problem.
For the 12 Day of Fitmas, the Day 5 move is Burpees. Thankfully NOT 5 miniutes, rather, only 5 reps. We were given three options, Easy, Intermediate, and Advanced. I added a fourth option, "Super Advanced" The difference is that I did a Tuck Jump at the end, not just a high jump. I crushed Day 5 and all the other four days.
I got my Ab EMS in and finished my day with my Flow series.
In the end, it was just a filler for today, so no HRM. But I was happy with especially the Dead Hang.
Welcome to the new direction for this blog. In it, I will post my experiences and thoughts related to the sport of Pickleball and my efforts to grow Pickleball in the Prefecture of Kagoshima located in the southernmost tip of mainland Japan. I hope to post pictures and videos of the activities and events that are held in Kagoshima. And one day, hopefully, you will come and play some Pickleball with us! Please comment if you visit!
