    Ok, I've had a few more weeks of the program above. They've been throw away workouts, don't know what's wrong, totally stalled and energy levels way down until tonight, no increases in the weights.

    Going to throw in some metcons to mix things up a bit for the next couple of weeks. Might be counter-productive to my goals but feck it.

    Tonight:

    Barbell Step-ups (paired with pullups)

    35kg X16 (8each leg)
    35kg X16
    35kg X16
    35kg X16
    45kg X10

    Pullups
    8,7,6,6,6

    Blackjack (21) workout...this looked easy on paper
    20pushups + 1squat jump
    19pushups + 2squat jumps
    and so on until you reach
    1pushup + 20squat jumps

    17mins 38secs and will be sore tomorrow
    Glad to have a good strong session under my belt though.

    Let me know how you get on, Originally it was press ups and burpees, but that was pretty impossible on chest/triceps, so few rounds in I switched to a squat jump.

    like it and a good metcon now and again is good also keep in mind that one week in every 6-7 weeks should be a deload or light week - just do lots of stretching, foam rolling and generally take it real easy for a week

    Thanks man, been struggling with lower back for last month or so, even physio not doing much, so haven't actually done a heavy week for a while.
