It's been a day of playing catch up with some playground challenges
Only 37 reps for me! Next time I clearly need to pick up the pace it seems!

Sooo... I've been very busy, and this is very late, but still, better late than never, isn't that what they say?
I went for both ECs. I guess my form is good overall, but my speed obviously suffered. And I managed not to spill any of the water, until... ah, well, there's a video. You can see for yourselves.

Oh, I didn't post here... I did 40 (none of the ECs), though I didn't watch the video in the end, nor did I look up any other material, nor did I record myself, so no one (including me) is going to tell if I did them correctly.

My final count at 1 min was 38 total, just the basic without any ECs. Good practice though, thanks @Redline!

I got 60 + EC1
I was worried I wouldn't be able to do it today because I woke up with a pulled calf a couple of days ago after doing Superhero Speed. My calf and quads are still sore, but I powered through.

Alright. I did 18 on each leg with both Extra Credits. That was a lot of fun!

Hmm, it seems like I'm going in the right direction.Originally posted by Redline View Post
I can now do 3 sets of 25 controlled deep squat but I just can't go as deep with cossack squat, always just a little bit past parallel would put me off balance.
It feels like my hip adductor won't let me go further.

The good news is, I know an excellent video about deep squats and hip mobility.
The bad news is, it's entirely in French. But I've checked the automated English subs and they do make the whole thing pretty understandable.

Practicing sitting in a deep squat will help with your hip mobility (regular short sessions will be more beneficial than a few overly long ones, in my experience).Originally posted by Haidare View PostI can't get past parallel (thigh to ground) now, any tip from the pro here?
You can hold a dumbbell (or some other kind of weight) in your hands to help with balance and make sure you don't fall backwards.
Using stretches that increase your ankle flexibility will also be beneficial, since both ankles and hips come into play here.
Oh, I've got another one for you: "Brains are optional when working out. A functional spine and nerve system can theoretically suffice. But still, no brainz, no gainz."Originally posted by lpf View Postyou and your funny words, "optional"
never heard this one before
