A Note On Days

Yesterday was Tuesday.  I was supposed to do bridges and burpees.  However, I had some running around to do after work, and by the time I got home, I felt like I was coming down with a serious cold, maybe even the flu.  I didn't work out.

It occurs to me that this sort of thing happens.  It has happened dozens of times throughout my workout history.  I've noticed that when it happens I feel guilty for missing a day, and this often leads to me going off plan by trying to double up my workouts or skip scheduled days off.

Fuck all that noise.

Instead of tying each workout to a particular weekday, I'm simply going to focus on doing the workouts in their proscribed 6 day rotation.  I'll plan on only taking Sundays off, to get a full day of systemic rest every week.  If unexpected days off happen, I'll simply roll with it and pick up the rotation where I left off as soon as I'm able.

Convict Conditioning: Veterano

The Good Behavior program is great, and I've enjoyed my progress.  After 29 weeks, I'm ready to switch it up.  Enter the Veterano program.  For the foreseeable future I'll be working on just one exercise per work day, with 6 workdays per week.  I'll be keeping the burpees; I'm starting to feel like they're having a positive effect.  Like so:

Monday -      Pullups
Tuesday -      Bridges, Burpees
Wednesday - Handstand Pushups
Thursday -     Leg Raises, Burpees
Friday -         Squats
Saturday -     Pushups, Burpees
Sunday - Off

Jesus, I'm all over the place with my pullup reps.  Over all the years I've lifted, pullups have consistently been a giant pain in my ass, and I've never figured out a way to get my body to respond to them in any consistent or logical way.  Dammit.
