oops! didn't see your ping until now, but thank you for looking out for meStevens wrote:DDDP - I know it's a few months late but with pistol squats (or anything where your not going full range of motion) I've always found it helpful to have a concrete stopping point. A pile of books, a box, anything that tells you you've reached the proper depth without guessing. How has your training been going since the summer?
Stay strong farm.
Progress is steady. I'm deep into cold training, spending several hours a day in 25-45F weather for the last month or so. The passive calorie burn from this is kinda insane so I've been eating a bit more carb-heavy and getting away with it. Otherwise I'm keeping to the same routine of daily exercise + weeknight Boxing club. I'm finally at a point where all my joints are strengthened enough to handle the heavy workload.
My core is probably the biggest "upgrade" since I last checked in. Dragon flags using my kettlebells as a counterweight, various hollowbody/plank/horse stance/etc isometric holds for 3+ minutes, several sets a day, L-sit chin ups on the rings, ring dips, stuff like that. Abs and lower back are lookin epic. I am trying to cut weight below 185 so that i can compete at two different amateur weight classes.
Now that my shoulders are healed up and stronger, I'm still slowly improving my handstand. I can at least bear the weight on my shoulders when I gently balance my toes against a wall, but the balance isn't quite there.
There has been too much progress to comment on since I last checked the thread, so lemme just summarize by saying: GREAT WORK DUDES!
