I renewed my jump rope after receiving good suggestion and feedback from various people (Thanx Nick, Yeeman, Mikael and Ren!). New rope obviously made a HUGE difference. Now I can jump up to 300+ continuously. Suddenly jump rope became a fan exercise not a torture! I actually bought one with the counter so that I didn't have to count from 1 to 1000+ which was the mind numbingly boring thing to do. Only downside of this new rope is that it's very heavy.. After I finish all the jumps, my forearms are sore..
Pull up, I am still not sure about the right angle of arms. If I narrow it, I can pull my self up a few times but looking at Patrick's form in the exercise sheet, the angle b/w both arms looks quite wide. In the tip, it said, "you raise your hands when you have gun pointing at you... that is the ideal angle for the pull up"... well.. I am in Japan and never be pointed by the gun so don't really now the IDEAL angle.. Someone please explain me.. (when you are using lat pull machine.. you try to reach the far end of bars which is kinked.. is that the right angle?)
Pull-down, I feel the soreness in my triceps. I must be doing something wrong? Anyone feels the same by any chance?
New set of exercise, V-sit and Plank are killing me already... Not looking forward to get the rep/set increased for next week....
