Day 4 Of My Magic Hundred

Day 4 of my magic hundred and it seemed to have gone by so fast but I still managed to get a lot done.

After the 9.30am Boot Camp I managed to answer a few emails before starting my own workout which looked like this.

A1, Barbell Shoulder Press
A2, Hammer Grip Pull Ups

B1, Close Grip Bench Press
B1, Alternate Kettlebell Row

C1, EZ-Bar Bicep Curls
C2, Dumbbell Lateral Raise
C3, Press Ups

D, Kettlebell Swings

I followed my workout with 10 minutes of foam rolling to really help losen my upper back and shoulders and finished up with 10 minutes of stretching. All in all the workout took me an hour and I managed to get my 100 swings, 100 press ups and 50 pull ups done. In fact I did 84 pull ups today!

This afternoon I went up the stables and then out for a ride on Tom the pony. He was full of energy today and wanted to canter all the time which is fun but not good for his legs on hard roads and so I had to bring him to a halt a few times just to calm hin down.

This is the third time I've been out on him on my own and its really good fun. I haven't managed to get out and ride with Kerry lately and so am looking forward to that when we both get the time.

I also edited one of the videos from a recent Strength Camp session I ran, in it I am attempting a 400lb deadlift which would be a new personal best. Check out the video below to see if I do it.






I've also watched 3 of the 7 underground strength DVD's. It's interesting learning new training methods that I can intergrate into my training as well as my personal training clients.


I rounded out the day listening to more OSP CD's while I cooked a healthy omlette for my dinner and then read another chapter of the fight. It's interesting to read Ali and Foreman's different training methods and moods in the run up to Rumble in the Jungle, still regarded by many as the best fight ever.

That's all for today, I'll be back with more magic hundred news tomorrow.
