I do a lot of stomach crunches
It’s Saturday, and I was supposed to go for a swim. I didn’t. That sort of makes me angry, as it was really down to laziness and a desire to avoid a pool full of retards.
Whenever I get lazy in my training, I punish myself a bit. It’s a nice way of reminding myself to stick with the plan, because when you pussy out, pain and tiredness gets multiplied by an angry and vengeful Jordan. Something like that.
Anyway, on to today. Since I decided to pussy out on the swim, I figured it was a good opportunity to see if I could push the weights on a bit. I’ve been doing a lot of them and I’m feeling good about it. Rather than stick with the same, I decided to play about with the reps a bit and see how I got on. It went pretty well.
The numbers are actually pretty cool when you actually add them up.
Each set involved this series:
Side Lats
Ab Crunches
Curls
Ab Crunches
Tricep Push
Ab Crunches
Bent-Over Rolls
Ab Crunches
Calf Raise
Crunches
Shoulder Press
Crunches
Front Raisers
Crunches
Hammer Curls
Crunches
Tricep Raise
Crunches
Side Bends
Ab Crunches
The Weight: 6KG Dumbbells
Set 1: 10 Reps
Set 2, 3, 4: 15 Reps
Set 5: 20 Reps
The fifth set was pretty brutal. Doing 20 front raisers is not easy at all, particularly after 20 Shoulder Presses.
When you add that all up, you get some neat numbers:
Weights: 75 Reps each (10 Different weight sets means 750 reps in total)
Abs: 750 Crunches (that’s actually a lot of stomach crunches, isn’t it?)
Pretty cool.
