Saturday Recording
I said before I was going to just monitor my superhabits on Saturdays. I just want to make sure that they don’t fade away and have to be recharged sometime in the future. Having recorded, I’m happy to see they are in fine shape and still in the 80s. And it certainly feels that way subjectively - I really don’t even think about them anymore. This is a Good Thing.

Pullup Bar

I finally got a telescoping pullup bar. It’s great because I can travel with it and I can finally start my pullup progression. According to several sources, only doing a pushing series of exercises isn’t really the optimal thing.

Unfortunately my apartment here in Barcelona is small and awkward. And the only place I can put the bar is in the middle of the bathroom! And since I’m early in the progression it’s about waist high - meaning I basically have to do the limbo whenever I need to get to the sink, toilet, shower, OR washing machine. The sacrifices we make….

I’ve always had problems with pullups, even when I was in high school, skinny and strong. Now that I’m weak and (worse) fat, this is going to be spectacularly challenging. Add that to the base nervousness I have with the stability of the bar (I really really hope it’s wedged in there tight) and you’ve got a great cocktail for …. shall we say, interesting experiences.

Day 151 Record Keeping SRHI = 81
Day 119 Fixed Meditation SRHI = 82
Day 65 Bodyweight Exercise SRHI= 76 (1x9 burpees, 6 pushups)
Day 165 Eating SRHI = 54
Bad sleep, good wakeup. Great mood yesterday (went to the beach).

Extending Bodyweight Training

BJ Fogg says something to the effect of planting the tiny seed of a habit comes first, and if it’s planted in the right way it will grow on its own. My very first such seed, the tinyhabit of 2 burpees is growing and I need to know how to make it grow.

Ideally I want it to have everything. Stretching, cardio, and bodyweight exercises - I want it to transition into advanced, almost gymnastic style training a la Convict Conditioning and StartBodyweight.com.

I cannot do dips. I can’t do pullups. I need to get an adjustable bar. I’ve added bridging and a plank progression and today I just started doing regular pushups in addition to my burpees. I should start adding legs when I feel like I have enough energy.

But the good thing is energy is coming and the habit appears to be growing on its own. Which is really great.
