Your last session/workout!

[Mosquito]

Not quite the wild numbers you lads are posting, but it's a bit of a personal achievement. With a month of following an old plan from when I was a teenager as well as a week of the Sean Lerwill plan, I've managed to do a full 30 sit ups and still have some left in the tank, whereas before I could only do 10! Very happy with myself. It's a slow process but I'm definitely getting there

Training is all about progression. Everyone started where you are. Enjoy and embrace these little victories, eventually you will get to where you need to be.

Good effort mate! You’re making progress, that’s what it’s all about.

A, Zone 2 backward/forward running
5.8km 41 mins AvSpeed 8.3 km/h AvHR 136 BPM

B, 30 mins strength yoga (a super shoulder heavy)

C, 3 rounds of VPJFT, I recorded myself, I wish I did it sooner and not 3 weeks before my test date. I am not happy with my body alignment on the push ups and the front support position during the burpee. I have a tendency of not rounding my upper back (not pushing the ground away and really creating a hollow body) as it’s a quick jump and back. I thought I can do better, so I recorded myself again (shirtless picture) on a few reps and it looks better. Now I just need to make sure I focus on nailing those positions.
I am wondering if you would fail with this form?!
D, 4-4-4 pull ups
