Makes sense that the boost in energy from drinking coffee will increase the work load and workout in the gym so its  30mins before i go to the gym and im drinking strong coffee with a little sugar as its bitter. I havent worked out over this weekend so my monday sessions are usally a little slow but i hope this helps. Im working the chinup bar today and the punchbag. Il probly beat the shit out of it as ive got this caffine booste to work with. But only doubt is i usally have a crash after workout is over i wonder if the coffe will make me crashany harder.

Currently working on a new body weight routine , for the week this will include boxing sessions in the gym for loosness cardio and handspeed. mainly bodywieght exersies for strenght , not working on the weights until i have properly masterd my own weight. Pressups and other exersises will be done in sets as though i would be doing the wieghts , i want to master the pull up bar as well. Moments of inspiration seems so positive but then fall away after a few days , i was so pepped up last weekend after seeing an old friend win world champion freerunning , which lead to the inspired change back away from weights and towards the bodyweight exersies. And now after a week has past although i have some new angles to play when i go to the gym all the inspired motivation has disapeared and i am left with the basic fact that i just need to now work with this new goal. As far as progress with the six pack i now have a larger goal of just mastering my own weight and this will naturaly harness and ...

Handstand training and pushups are require upperbody mastery , very strong internal core strenght and whole body tone and condition. Controll of all the muscles as a complete unit. Will not lift another weight in the gym until i have complete control of th weight of my body. I used to do body weight conditioning and have found that joining a gym made me think about the machiens to much , i have gone up allot on the different weighs but have found simple things like pressups harder , so im leavingthe weights alone for a while and using conditioning techniques like these ones to get control and condition back properly.

After seeing some awsome videos the last few days of people who are freerunning and doing parkor. im going to start encorperating more explosive movements in to my training Starting with one change and thats mastering the pullup bar at the gym doing allsorts of exersise including the Kipping pullup. Did a session of them today and im going to be working on this technique a little more. Difficult to do as the pullup bar is so close to the wall but i felt good using more of my whole body to launch myself up insted of just pumping  the arms in the traditional dead hang lift that ive used so much before.

Ive writen a few posts on the benifits of cold showers and my experiances with them. I took some time of using them, when you dont take a cold shower for a while the water feels that much more unplesent and so you go longer without taking one. But this last week or so i have been taking only cold showers and they have been great. Just wanted to sharesome tips on how to take the cold shower , and how to get in to a cold shower. Before i would just get straight in and it would be painfull, now i do this and its much easier . stand away from the cold water and put one leg in, use your hands to massage in the cold water. Then change legs and put the other leg in the cold shower and massage the cold water on to  the leg. Then do the arms one at a time rubbing the water and massaging then the Head and scrub the water in to your hair and face. Then the body and finally the back . And before you know it your completly in the shower and its cold but it feels good. Another tip , get really hot b...
