November, a month of Dragon Flags, Dragon Flags and more Dragon Flags. Decided to do a full month of 30 reps for 30 mornings. Only realized much later that I had been doing it wrong in the past one over year.
At least the base strength from what I had been doing served well when the form was corrected. But would have to regress a little in terms of the reps/ set... probably gonna take another month to comfortably get back to the usual 10/set x 3... The issue is being unable to gauge the body-legs alignment when doing which often ends up with a more than desired hinging of hips towards the end of a set.
As the ROM is considerably lesser with the body-legs in a straight line, in a bid to do "more" that's where the hip hinging occurs.
7-8 is about all the max good form reps that can held at this point before the scapula and hand grip slips thus having at least to re-set before continuing.
Anyway the whole point of more DF is using that to stage and prep for other calisthenics movement.
Everything else is on track this month for the "Daily Salad" menu except 5km short on runs. Still trying to dial in with the new pair of shoes. The older Xtep despite having the foam a little compressed by now but still seems to be the faster.
Fighting to down the weight... A little success-- drop about ~1.5kg in the morning and couple of days even hit below 75kg while muscle mass doesn't seem to be affected. Yea that means weight down but t-shirts gotten tighter :)
Mulling continues if I should attempt the 100km Backyard Ultra before the end of the year... it would be a "no training" event if it does take place...
