I haven't been training very consistently lately because of lack of motivation. Ah well. Give it another week or so and I'll be right back into ass-kicking CrossFit workouts.

I've been thinking about jumping into the pool again and picking up Yoga at YogaVibe. I'll definitely be giving the Yoga ago, but getting back into swimming is going to take a lot of effort.

Today, I decided to go for a jog in the afternoon. Jogged to the Eva Wesley Bridge and did my plyometric exercises:

10 stair runs
Walk down ramp
5 stair runs
5 frog leaps
Walk down ramp
5 stair runs
5 frog leaps

I was already wrecked after the first set of frog leaps and I had the biggest urge to say, "Stuff the last 10 exercises" but I stayed quiet and painfully complete the rest. The last set of frog leaps hurt the most. My legs were wobbly at the top of the stairs and I either hung onto the railings at the top or collapsed.

Feels awesome completing a workout that leaves you feeling sick and dizzy.

Power clean 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

37.5kg x 7

Not enough confidence to lift 40kg today since there was no moral support around! I'm too terrified of dropping it.

Got very irritated at the gym today. Halfway through my power cleans, two guys decided to occupy the bench in front of me, which I had no problem with as I was not using the bench. However, they didn't think to move it forward. So when one of them was chest pressing, the other would stand behind the bench which happened to be right infront of my bar. How could they not notice that they were in my way?

I began to shuffle backwards and Vlad said, "No, just leave it there", and he looked at the guys and the ended up moving forward instead.

They looked like newbies at the gym though. Neverthless, how could they be so ignorant and rude?

Back to the gym today. After doing this workout, walking out of the gym, I felt my biceps starting to get sore. Never gotten so sore so fast!
