The List

Hi

Like most guys out there i love gadgets this has at some point crosses over to the fitness equipment i buy, i've tried my best to strip this down as much as possible,there was simplt too much choice at one point and not a lot of work been done.

This is what i have now that i really feel fufills most fitness needs except maybe absolute 1rm strength.

Kettlebells 8,12,16,24kg
Rings
Ab mat
Ab Wheel
Small dumbell for shot putt
Maize bag (if it ever turns up!)
Mat for lying my sweaty ass on

Soon i hope to purchase a chin up bar which will complete my list of goody's.

Do you have too much kit, too much choice.

K.I.S.S it!

Ab Wheel



Hi

Been after getting one of these for a while, picked one up in TK Max for a £5 the other day, intersting thing mine is purple and went through the till as womens fitness!

There is no manual with it but as far as i remeber the training goes knees first then standing position?

If i walk around with a broken nose in the next couple of weeks you know what it will have been from!

Maize ball



Been thinking about getting one of these babys for a while, they aint cheap this one comes in a at £50 its big brother £90, as much as i want the big one there is no way i can justify the cost and also i dont realy have a decent place to hang it, i get a bonus from work soon so looking to spend the dough before the missus steals it all!

There has been reccommendatios to fill these babys with sand to make it even harder to hit, i'm waiting on the supplierto get back to me with it's starting weight first before deciding if it needs more intially or not.

AOS Newport dvd

12kg KB

Minus extra round and snatch test



Not done these dvd workouts in ages and really struggled this time.



Neck work



I nicked this from a post on the sp forum, trying to incoparate neck and grip work into every workout.



Lie on your back and lift just your head off the floor (about an inch) and then curl your chin up to your sternum (like doing a crunch with your head if that image helps) about 20 times.Without putting your head on the floor now turn it side to side 20 times at this point - the first few times you do this - your head will be feeling like it's going to fall off your neck so feel free to rest occasionally if you need it.Finally, with your head turned all the way over to the right lift your ear up towards your sternum the requisite twenty reps and then repeat on the other side.



Finished with straight shots



Black band x 2

50 e.s



Did a few of these feet together

100 Pushups

Hi



The simple pushup has always been a massive weakness of mine so making attempts to resolve this, managed a p.b of 30 reps today!



Aiming for 100 pushups in total spread out over the day every day, doing that for a month then bumping it to 200 then 300 then i don't know what!



To be able to bang out 100 proper pushups is probaly the ultimate aim i guess
