As a personal trainer, I suppose I should join the thread. What's up guys?
I personally am making nice steady slow progress in terms of fitness using low weight high reps at a steady pace.
I checked out my single-set push-up max recently. With good form and at a steady pace I hit 80 before I got tired and I was kind of sore that day too. Easily hitting 100 sit-ups here and there on sit-ups and other ab related exercises. Basically making a lot of improvements since the summer fitness thread we had going on awhile ago. Still on the rings ever since Taucer recommended rings and it's some fun stuff. I wish I had more balance and endurance on these things. Is it normal to get super tired on these things? I feel it taxes out my muscles after like 5 sets of 10 (sometimes more) on ring dips and on push-ups among other exercises. I want to do higher reps but progress is slow.
Anyways, nice to see everyone making a bit of effort to better themselves. Remember to work within your limits, but always give 100% effort. You get what you put in.
I suppose I can contribute to the thread if anyone has any questions about training... I wouldn't know much about the whole gymnastics thing though so I suppose Taucer can handle the ring questions if there are any. Best of luck in your goals.
