Mar 2025 Monthly Reflections

A little late as it's already nearing mid Apr to summarize Mar activities. First two day of last month kickoff with Pulling Strength Test -- getting a PR of 24 AMRAP and 1RM with 46kg. More gym sessions followed which saw a reduction in some of the "daily Salad" exercises. Part of the reason was also getting more weighted pullup sessions and for things like Push and Dips-- lessened the numbers as it changes to harder ring variations. The only things that were really missing were still Dragon Flags and Squats... since the start of the year. Have to really catchup if I were to not miss my yearly set quota

2025 February Training Reflections

Image
Feb saw the continuation of the Fighter Pullup program after returning home from Canada. But it took much longer than planned to finish. First off I continued from where it was left off. Jumped right into Day 15 of the program for sets of 9, 8, 7, 7, 6 reps with +15kg. With increment of 1 rep each day-- this quickly led to systemic fatigue and I couldn't continue with the 5 days on 1 day off cycle.  All other exercises were put on the back burner for the month with much less done than usual, meaning there is a lot of catch up in Mar-May.  Though it wasn't smooth but reckon it still paid off with 2 PR on 2 Mar compared to last September Pullup AMRAP: 24 (increase by 2 and cleaner reps)  Pullup 1RM  : 45kg (increase by 5kg)... but will keep training until 45kg is on a clean pull rep.   Been thinking a lot on how to re-structure my training. Strength vs Hypertrophy and Load vs Volume. I need to figure out what I really want to focus and prioritize on.  Stren...

2025 Jan Training Reflections

Image
Started another round of weighted Russian Fighter Pullup program on 7th Jan. This time using 15kg (previously was 10kg) All was progressing normal and in fact this round felt "easier" than the first time. Something I attributed to having increased focus on pullup forms for the past few months. But news of a family emergency put the program on a halt as I have to fly back to Toronto... A sudden change from SG climate of 32 degrees to -18 and not having my usual workout environment meant putting things to the test again. With all the running around to the hospital and driving out far to meet old friends, time was truly a constraint. But calisthenics workout/ training meant it can be done anywhere.  I-beam pullups in the basement  and daily pushups at the in-laws place was routine daily affairs. Only harder thing was running in the snow between -1 to -11 degrees... something out of my element but still manage albeit with a bit of changes to the distances (lesser) to my usual....
