Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.

The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Nellers Sep 2019 3:11pm, 27 Sep 2019 34,870 posts	Quote Pin Nellers But I do separate core stuff as well WS, which also makes press ups more difficult when they follow on. (The end of my weights session is: 10 press ups seated circle 60 seconds each way 10 press ups Drunken mountain climb 60 seconds (sadly involves no actual drinking!) 10 press ups Marching Plank 60 seconds 10 press ups Scissors 60 seconds 10 press ups Starfish Crunch 60 seconds 10 press ups Russian v tuck twists 30 seconds 10 press ups)

My PT annoys me when the last thing he gets me to do on a session is a plank. I just can't hold it long as I'm knackered by then, now if he did it at the beginning, I wonder how much longer I could stay up.

flyingfinn Oct 2019 10:46am, 1 Oct 2019 1,346 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn I got past last year's total (16,250) just before the end of September, now aiming to pass 20,000 before the year end. I now have a nice routine of doing a set of 25 or 30 before and after pretty much every run (along with sit-ups) which as I typically do 10-12 runs a week means they soon add up.
