2024 Jan Training Reflections

Kick starting the first complete month of the new year... nothing really new. Been training as usual. All about consistency. No New Year resolutions, never needed entertaining such thoughts all my life. If there is something to be done, you don't have to wait until a new year to start...

Finally gotten something else in the middle of Jan. First Jumping Muscle Up. Been doing straight bar dips after work for months after parking the car in the evening by using Pullovers to get up. So this was a pretty exciting change. Also learned to have more awareness of the transition with the jump momentum to get up.

Achieve: Jumping MuscleUp at 1.8m Bar, -- slightly above my height.

More weight sessions at the gym too. But Daily Salad of basic exercises didn't fall away this time. Manage to hit the monthly quota again. Except for PushUps but then again Dec numbers were a little more than usual.. Stopped just shy of 800 counts for Jan. Given all the rest, not really missing much.


Running is kind of hard to gauge though. Very slight increase in average heart rate but lots of time, weather was pretty hot too. Plus I been using the less than stellar Saucony PwrRun over my preferred Xtep. Might need another pair of shoes soon.


Last few days of the month was thinking of getting back more with skills training... Headstand, Crow/ Frog, Straddles and maybe Elbow Levers... will KIV for Feb.
