Boneless' Bodyweight Training

[Ivarboneless]

Hand is only slightly sore. Elbow got pretty aggravated during the rafter session, but I have no pain right now. Back is feeling better but still affecting my ab training.

Hand: (All previous 60D mentions were the hot galvanized, I tried a bright common...different ballgame)

9X 1/4" X 6" carriage bolts (7 DO neck level working out form. 2 DO held arms length in front)

1X 1/4" X 5" carriage bolt (DO neck level)

4X60D hot galvanized (3 DO neck level PR finally worked out the form. 1 DU barely kink then switch DO)

1X6 sec rafter hold (middle)

1X9 sec rafter hold (middle)

1X4sec rafter hold (middle)

only a small bit of axe levering

Abs:

6X1minute tuck L holds (3 from a bar and 3 from a half crimp all 4 fingers 1" ledge)

1X 5 abcircles each direction

3X 10 ab circles each direction

1x1 dragon flag (perfect form)

2X5 dragon flags (perfect form)

Toe:

1X1minute toe stand

Lots of stretching today (I don't list stretching any more because it takes up too much space and time). My index finger is sore and my wrist feels like it got a good workout, but is fine so I think I will give bending a break for a while. Did some yardwork today. I am planning on gripping tomorrow, but my hand might not be up to it I'll just have to wait and see. Rafter session sucked today maybe because of the bending, but I am really dissapointed.

[Wes]

Nice workout

[Ivarboneless]

Thanks Wes.

Hand actually feels pretty good today! It must be the extensors. My index fingers and wrists are tired, but my forearms up on top near the center are pretty sore! I did get some weird pains at the base of my hand (top) in my wrist causing me to cut my gripping short. My back is still not letting me do V-ups

Hand:

100 total Trainer closes (left hand) Wanted 250, oh well

2X10 Trainer closes (right hand)

25sec nickle hold Trainer (right/left)

1X25 pullups

1X1 frenchy on a ledge

2X4 frenchies

Leg:

2mile run (my cardio has greatly improved and this was rather easy...I think I'm in shape for the trip)

I am really frustrated that all of my numbers are dropping, so as soon as I get back from this trip I am dropping to my normal weight again. I took the wussy way out on my gripping by using a small band of tape to cover my rip, but it still hurt so I don't feel too bad ! The egg thing was pretty easy and I think I'm going to give it a go left hand, but I did get 5 shards of eggshell stuck in my hand which didn't feel good.

I have an important climbing project to send tomorrow so wish me luck!!!

(I hope the chinning didn't tire me out)

[Ivarboneless]

No go on the climb, but maybe tomorrow. Hand is a bit sore, Back is still hurt. Abs are sore for once!!

Well I didn't get my climb today. I stepped on a nail on the way back though . I bent a 60d hot galv to show a friend my newly refined DO style and I am lucky to escape injury free because that was about the worst thing I could possibly do. I forgot my extensor training today, but I will do it tomorrow.

[Ivarboneless]

ARRG still no go on that climb. Hand slightly sore. Elbow was bothering me pretty bad so I skipped chins today. I have gymnastics tomorrow anyway. My back is still jacking with me. Hit the most important PR ever today!

My friend bought me some grade 5's and a grade 8 today. I didn't attempt them...PR!!! I finally used patience. I felt that I was weak from my last bending session so I decided to put it off until later. I want to wait until I have done quite a volume of galvanized 60D's and 1/4" X 6" (or 5") carriage bolts before I attempt some big bends. My goal is to bend a 60 penny nail (bright common) before September. I don't know how fast bending improves but I believe that it is possible. On the other hand I am losing patience with my back, maybe the backpacking trip will fix things.....a weeks rest should be just the ticket.

No gymnastics today (cancelled) so I did my best to replicate a gymnastics day without the leg work (running tomorrow). Lots of stretching. Planches pretty much fried everything, but a solid planche is my main goal right now so that's alright. Planches felt strong today. I'm going to give the grade 5 a try tomorrow DU if my wrists feel good (DO is still too tired).

Armwrestle:

My friend came over and we pulled a bit (right hand only...tendonitis in left). I noticed a lot of improvement in my toproll from my wrist strength stuff (or maybe I'm getting better technique). My hook seemed stronger also.

Gymnastics tomorrow. Legs feel good from the run I think I will be in condition. My forearms are wiped out from all the bar hanging goosenecks and armwrestling. Just trying to make it to the weekend when I get a weeks rest from all of this. I am suprised at how well I did at armwrestling given my workout yesterday. I wonder how good I'll do when I'm fresh.

Finally hit my chins/pullups again. I was quite rushed today. I feel like I put in a good workout today. Didn't get to run today as the day was rather crazy. I discovered that as of right now I can bend equally in all three styles, so I think I will keep practicing them all. Tomorrow is my last chance to run before I leave for my trip so that will take top priotity.

[Ivarboneless]

Pushups:

1X10 1:1 pushups

1X70 pushups (was going for 110 but my form was less than desirable so I cut it short)

1X105 Pushups (felt good for 110 but I didn't feel good today)

I felt kind of sick and lethargic today. I didn't get in the workout that I had hoped, but it will do I suppose. I hit some rock solid ab work. I will be leaving on my backpacking trip second thing tomorrow (Got to check the gripboard 1st ), so I won't be updating the log for a week. God I hope I am in good enough shape. I am determined not to do a single pushup during the trip (but a lot of stretching), and hopefully I will be able to get started again with a new enthusiasm and a rested body. I want to get a pic of myself doing a handstand on the highpoint of the trip.

[Number Ten Ox]

Dude, you did over 700 "ups" and tons of other core work and wonder why you have ab pain during your jog?

Don't get me wrong, I am a serious supporter of overtraining, I am OCD as well. I like the finger hang workout looks quite like the ones I used to do when I trained. When are you moving to three finger/ one finger hangs? I also did one hand with deep pockets and one hand with shallow pockets...

After a hiking trip I recommend "Chunky Monkey" ice cream by Ben and Jerry's.

[Ivarboneless]

Ox, I am going to start my one handed hangs and middle finger/one hand hangs next workout.

The trip was great, awsome views. I did fine, my cardio was in order and the altitude didn't give me any problems. I went bouldering at Turtle Lake, sweet problems. I have improved a lot in my bouldering probably because I focus more on my footwork now. My toe strength was killing the pockets (I climb barefoot so the toe goes right in). I went white water rafting for the first time...fun stuff, but the river was a bit low. Took my handstand photo and bent a 1/4" X 6" carriage bolt on the high point.

Hand:

1X1 Trainer close gripping the top (each hand)

1X5 reps Trainer (each hand)

5X200 extensors in sand bucket

Real training starts again tomorrow. The gripping felt super strong, I might hit the #1 left hand tomorrow.

[unseenbeat]

Good to see you back bro, one of the few logs I really follow! I just started one handed hangs again (though I have done them in the past) to build up some supporting grip, I think I'm going to add ten pounds a week and try to stay above 30 seconds for a hang. At my last climbing session, I found these real useful, as I missed a hold several times, but managed to hang onto the hold in my right hand long enough to finally grab the sloper on my left and regain my footing.

[Ivarboneless]

Thanks man. Nice to know that someone follows the log . How close are you to the one arm chin?

Today my hands were healed up and my wrists felt good, but my back still has a ways to go.

Hand:

3X1 #1 closes (right hand)

2X1 inverted #1 closes (left hand)

30? total Trainer closes (each hand)

Armwrestling:

armwrestled my friend loads of times. He was pretty much owning me right hand today (suprise to me since I was owning last time ), so I had to bust out the good ole "I already did 25 handstand pushups" excuse . But I was owning left hand so bad that he had to just pull on it with his right hand (like a row) until I got pumped and then we would start (In his defence he has an injured wrist and hasn't trained his left arm in 2+ months). I dominated the top roll too, but that was actually good pulling. He trashed me in the hook. Good training, we are really good matches in "street armwrestling" (pretty much no technique armwrestling, no leaning, but you can move your wrist however you want just so long as you don't lean.). Lots of pumped forearms!

Abs felt weak today.....WTF . I was really impressed with my strength! I was afraid my endurance went way down so I did more strength type stuff and bam easy 30 reps on dips and 8 handstand pushups (freestanding as always). Gripping was great too...Closed the #1 3 times in a row (not reps) right hand and just missed it left, and I closed it twice in a row (not reps) inverted left hand. I think the dogleg thing is the culprit here because I can't close it inverted right hand or regular left hand. The one arm pushups were also a breeze....GREAT WORKOUT. Bending wasn't as good as I had hoped...but maybe thats because I did it after everything else.

[Ivarboneless]

SORE TODAY!!

Three hours of gymnastics. Hard practice since I was so sore from yesterday.

Hand:

5X200 extensors in sand bucket

5X20 extensors with rubber bands 3" X1/8" (4 bands single wrap) each hand

1X100 extensors with rubber bands in sand bucket (2 bands single wrap)

5,000 total thumb/index lateral squeezes on ball

1X20 frog presses

1X1minute toe stand

1X45 sec toe stand

1X30sec toe stand

1X15sec toe stand

1X5sec toe stand

1X1 toe walk (crimp style) up stairs

Good pinch workout...I will bust that lateral squeeze rafter chin! Extensors were changed up a bit because I want to build some more strength....I can do 5 bands but I want to keep the reps around 20 for now. Toes are burnt out!! I am thinking about bumping the lateral squeezes up to 6,000 next time.

[Ivarboneless]

REST DAY

I am still sore. Everything seems healed up except my back which is still tweaky.

Hand:

Some climbing

1X2sec 2finger (mid/ring) hang from 1" ledge...........open hand

I did some buildering on my house. I couldn't quite hit the campus problem yet, but I got about 1/2 way. I was going to do crimp training, but I didn't really feel like my hands were up to it. Went field herping today so I got in a lot of walking.

[Ivarboneless]

Three hours of gymnastics today.

Hand:

5X200 extensors in sand bucket

1X100 extensors in sand bucket with 2 rubber bands

1X1 #1 close inverted (left hand)

Pinch lift on 25.3lb block 3" wide with index/thumb only full lockout (both hands)

lots of attempts to close the #1 left handed....really close

Gymnastics went well, lots of wide arm handstand training. I have a good solid wide arm handstand, very deep and long hold. Planche training felt really strong. Maltese training is also doing good. So close to shutting that #1 left handed. I am thinking about going for the #2, but I really need to focus more on my climbing training and grippers leave my hands feeling worn out.

[Ivarboneless]

I was pretty sore today so I decided to go a little light on the pressing. I will be busy all weekend so I will be sure to get a good rest. I had to give my friend his grippers back because I have decided only to grip on the days that I have gymnastics, and the grippers taunt me if I have them. I made this decision because on the gymnastics days my hands are all warmed up and I don't have any other exercises to worry about and I like to train the grippers hard and squeezing them everyday is kind of preventing that so I will give this plan a test run.

[Ivarboneless]

Rest Day!!

Way to busy today to do a workout plus I am pretty sore so that's probably best.

Back:

1X50 leg Raises

1X50 Torso raises

I could only do about one exercise so I picked one that would help my planche training.

[Ivarboneless]

Tendonitis is bugging me from rafter chins the other day.

4 hours at the rock gym. Threw down some sick boulder problems and some crazy lead routes. My manteling skills (well...brute strength ) impressed some people. Blew off a boulder problem and......WTF where did my spotter go? He's checking out some chick (she was fine, but damn). So I bust my face on the floor. Oh well I guess it was my fault for not landing on my feet, but he was supposed to follow me with the pad . I did finally crank out the problem though.

[smp76]

Nice bending man, I like all the body weight stuff. Keep it up man.

-Sean

[Ivarboneless]

Thanks bro. I have improved a lot in my bending and thankfully I have not been injured. I am taking the slow and steady approach and I am seeing gains. There's lots of good advice on the board!

Maltese:

Crucifix lifted 30.3lbs each hand strict form (palms up though) for a solid 4 seconds. I think I am good for 35 each hand palms neutral which would give me a 1/2 bodyweight crucifix lift (assuming I get back down to 140....weighed in at 141.3 before dinner tonight, down from 150 before my backpacking trip). I am going to do the rest of my pressing exercises tomorrow. The planche stuff felt really solid, I almost hit a straddle planche! My friend tried to drink a gallon of milk in 1hr, but he didn't make it he got sick and bummed around for a few hours. Rolled my first frying pan today!!.

I am thinking about entering an armwrestling tournament in the 0-154lb novice weight class right and left arm. Any thoughts?

[Ivarboneless]

Good strong workout today. I was going to do 6,000 thumb/index lateral squeezes but I never got around to it . Hand felt good. Tendinitis bugged me during some pulling stuff I was doing that wasn't a part of my workout, but it is almost gone. Gymnastics tomorrow.

Good workout! Maybe too much given I have gymnastics tomorrow, but if it is then I will just tumble and do high bar and vault. I wasn't doing good o ball planche pushups, and I just missed the 8th handstand pushup. Grippers tomorrow (my new plan is grippers every gymnastics day). My extensors got sore a few days ago so I skipped them yesterday. I meant to do more climbing training but I figured it was best not to do too much. Going to start armwrestling training Friday since I figure I will enter the tournament.

My ride never showed up to take me to gymnastics so today was a rest day.

All grippers are done no set

Hand: (RH/LH)

33 X #2 Squeezes hard as possible for 5sec (5 forced shut) slow release

Trainer for time: 22/27....28/29.....23/22....21/26....21/21 (held nickle)

Inverted T for time: 10/10

1X7 Trainer (each)

1X5 inverted Trainer closes (each)

1X20 40lb store gripper 3.5" (each)

5X30sec bar hanging goosenecks supinated

5X30sec bar hanging goosenecks pronated

Goosenecks are starting to get easy. The #2 squeezes were brutal, I will have to do lots of contrast baths tomorrow. Contrast bath to warm up hands before gripping. My friend took back his #1, but let me keep the Trainer so I am using the Trainer to work the close and the #2 for the sweep. Goosenecks are for the armwrestling tournament. I want to keep armwrestling type stuff in my workouts until the tournament is over.
