Sick Week

Sadly both my friend and I were unable to come to the office this week due to sickness. I was able to work out on my own, but I did our program directly after my normal routine. This was a little tough, as expected, but not too bad.

Day 1

Most of the program went well, especially considering I had just completed my regular workout (30 minutes running). I was able to hold the plank for 90 seconds, which is a decent improvement from last week. I also upped the weight on the overhead press to 40kg.

However, I decided to skip the dips as my shoulder is still kinda painful and the recovery has been taking months already. I might not be giving it enough rest...

Day 2

Similar to day 1, I wasn unable to complete the entire program. I skipped the handstand as I was already quite tired and didn't feel like finding an appropriate spot in the gym.

Next Week

Given how hectic work is going to be next week I'm not sure how much progress we'll be able to make. It's possible that we'll have to skip some exercises or even the program entirely.
