Week 3 - Day 19 - TSC Challenge

Statistics:
1 pull up (1.5 actually but I'm not allowed to count that apparently!)
35 press ups (up by 8)
21:09 for the run (44 seconds faster)
Score 156 (up by 15 points)

Body weight 99.5kg
Waist is still 39"

I've been working hard on my pull ups this week and the muscles that are used during them. I've been doing 30 weight assisted pull ups (the machine that balances your weight) by taking off 50kg from my weight. I'm slowly decreasing the weight I'm taking off and keeping the pull ups to good form but it made little difference to my TSC this week, I'm going to keep on doing it though as I don't see any other way of getting better at them.

I seem to have sustained an injury to my left shoulder which is causing me some discomfort during working out. I think it's tendon related where they all join the bone on the front of the shoulder. When doing bench presses the shoulder almost gives way and collapses on the bottom of the movement so I'm having to do half presses and not let the bar go all the way to my chest. I'm going to have to keep a close eye on it and make sure I look after it so I can complete the program.

Here are my statistics for the weeks so far, good to see that everything is going up :-)

Other than that I'm feeling good, feeling strong, fit, healthy. All the things you want to feel whilst putting this much effort into something.

Keep going and stay committed to yourself, this is for you after all.

Later,
Lee
