Wednesday at the Garage

First up, Sid after a few days of not feeling well. She was still under the weather but determined not to let it hinder her progress. She completed several exercises, each for two minutes, doing as many reps as possible. Her scores: sit ups 45 - walking lunges 48 - 10kg bench press 35 - Leaning towers 25 - 4kg push press 35 - jumping pull ups 48 - and jumping squats(we lost count). It was a great session back and it was good to see Sid hasnt lost her determination.

Dynamic Duo in trying out a new WOD for me. The first one I have administered and havent actually done my self.

Over head Squat 5
Pull Ups 5

as many rounds in 20 minutes


It was an awesome effort by both of them, Liz achieved 25 rounds and Frank, 24.5
Frank used a massive load of 40kg overhead for several rounds before switching to 30kg - both extremely challenging loads and more than most people can handle. Great intensity Frank. Liz used 6 kg dumbells in each hand and after a shaky first few rounds she found her rhythm and used excellent technique. Great session both of you-try and make it Friday to boost results.

Jen was in - who said exercise wasn't fun?!? First we did the two minute sit up challenge (53 reps) followed with walking lunges and dips for two minutes each - straight after we played a high speed game of dodgem ball which forces you to move in highly explosive ways utilising the entire body. Next was ten minutes on the rings - acrobatics is always fun. To finish we had a four round sparring session. All in all it was a fun, challenging and explosive session. Great work Jen.

Mary and Seb started off the afternoon. They boh performed the sit up challenge (Mary with weighted feet) and they scored exceptional scores: Mary with 47 reps which is extremely high for a beginning garagegym member, and Seb, as always setting the bar high, had the highest score out of everyone with 69 sit ups in 2 minutes. I knew you would do it Seb, great work. They both finished off the session with several exercises each for two minutes (lunges-dips-leaning towers-push press-jump squats-jump pull ups-sprint skip). Mary was keen to play with the rings at the end so while she practiced her summersaults, Seb got to work perfecting his handstand technique. Great work guys, practice makes perfect.

Gulnaz ended the night by starting off with some interesting exercises reserved for days like today. Several laps of the studio doing cartwheels (yes..cartwheels) followed with walk backs, utilising the awesome alligator technique on all fours. Next was a ring session where Gulnaz can almost spin 360 degress. Again it was another playful yet practical session and Gulnaz really improved a lot. Keep it up Gulnaz, your only a couple sessions away from a full pull up!

Thanks everyone and see you all tomorrow.

P.S. Frank and Josephine were in yesterday and both as fit as ever. They performed the Jumping Squat 21 / dips 18 / jumping pull up 15 rep workout for as many rounds in 20 minutes. Together they blasted through the workout while exchanging stories of death defying jetski experiences. Both are always exceptional performers when it comes to the workouts and are alwasy in the top ten of leaders at the end of them. Its great to train you both and always a pleasure.

Gulnaz was also in...again...but I always talk about how well she is going so no need to do it again!!!
