    Matan - I have been working in our garden for the last few days digging, cleaning etc. I barely have energy left for my challenges in the evening. I find it impressive how you have the energy to work on your farm and at the same time do your training sessions It's inspirational...

    Belated congrats on your badge and healing vibes.

        Push-Ups 13-11-10-10-8 (60sec rest)

        Plank Challenge Day 22
        Still in one go.

        IRONBORN Day 1: Shoulders, Chest & Triceps
        l decided to do IRONBORN once again, unfortunately with the same weight as last time.

        No Sugar Challenge Day 22

        Physically I feel quite good, but mental condition is a completely different story. Everything seems extremely annoying to me, even things I usually like.

          A good opportunity to try something new perhaps

              Gandhalfit Because of what I do and where I live I have little to none opportunities to try anything new.

                It sounds like you're bored. It doesn't need to be anything big, it could be a new book.

                  Also, Matan, if you don't want to feel like you're plateauing while repeating Ironborn, even if you're using the same weights, you could definitely focus on things like form, range of movement, control in execution... they should make your training sessions both harder and more enjoyable.

                    I second Redline at this point regarding IronBorn - great things to play with when doing IronBorn(form, range of motion, (time)control, etc.) - or you could just do some other exercises still focusing on the same muscle groups - because there are many adaptions to the exercises which make IronBorn a real treasure trove - and believe me Matan I know whereof I speak - don´t know how many times I did it know in a row ... Nonetheless, keep up your awesome work

                      Redline TheLibrarian I do all that stuff you guys suggested. I do everything (well, maybe not everything, but a lot) possible to make it harder.
                      I'll risk saying that TheLibrarian is already a IRONBORN veteran.

                      Done today:

                      Push-Ups 15-13-11-11-10 (90sec rest)

                      Plank Challenge Day 24
                      Unfortunately not in one go, I was way too tired after work.

                      IRONBORN Day 3: Leg Day
                      Even without any shenanigans it was tough, but of course I had to make it harder anyway.
                      Maybe it's a bit weird but I really missed a proper leg day (and DOMS afterwards) .

                      No Sugar Challenge Day 24

                      It's quite possible that tomorrow I'll have some problems with walking. Proper leg workout and almost 20k steps means that tomorrow will be "pleasant".

                        Yep, as expected, my legs (and butt) are sore, but it's not as bad as I thought.

                        Done today:

                        Ring Pull-Ups 5-4-4-4-3 (90sec rest)

                        Plank Challenge Day 25

                        IRONBORN Day 4: Ab Work

                        No Sugar Challenge Day 25

                        Today I feel really tired, maybe I haven't used to super duper high temperature (as for april). Today was 25 C, and tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter.

                            It went surprisingly well.

                            Plank Challenge Day 27

                            IRONBORN Day 6: Back & Biceps
                            My "additional weight" broke off during farmer walks, so I grabbed my dumbbells in most inconvenient way (three fingers) and did all the steps in one set. At least I worked my forearms a bit.

                            No Sugar Challenge Day 27
                            I ate one cookie today (Oreo like one /w salted caramel). It was nasty, and I didn't enjoyed it at all...

                              Push-Ups Test Day
                              one set AMRAP: 22 reps
                              Woohoo! Progress!

                              Plank Challenge Day 28
                              2x20 up and down planks (30sec rest)

                              IRONBORN Day 7: Leg Day
                              Easier than last one, but my legs (calves especially) were still a little bit sore (I recover really slowly)

                                Done today:

                                Pull-Ups Test Day
                                one set AMRAP: 7 reps
                                Pretty good considering a bit wet rings (slippery), and sore biceps.

                                Plank Challenge Day 29
                                Only one day left.

                                IRONBORN Day 8: Ab Work
                                After month of planking it felt pretty easy.

                                No Sugar Challenge Day 29

                                Top to Bottom Workout
                                I have to start to stretch again. If not I'll soon be stiff like C3PO.
