bwwm Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Traveling today, so not as good of a workout, and kind of a hodge podge: Pullups: 5, 12, 10, 10 Leg curls < just horsing around. Calf raises < ditto DB work: 40# dbs tris/bis/press 2 x 10 each < just getting the blood flowing KB swings: 53#; 30:30; 18 rep/int; 7 intervals < this smoked me, and my back also tightened up at the end having done squats last night.

bwwm Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's actually a 123# that I have that I attach 10# plates to, to bring it up to the weight I want to row. I like it because I can get a full range of motion, whereas a DB would stop me short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Swiss Bar OHP: 125# x 8; 185# 5, 5, 5, 4, 3 < wasn't feelin' 100% today. Too much craziness this week with work I guess. Grippers: worked up to CoC#3: R: 4 5 5 5 5; L: 4, 5, 4, 4, 4 < not sure what was going on with left Unstable Bench: 135# & two 45's hanging from bands, 5 x 5 2" DB Holds 165#: 5 sets ranging from 7-10 secs. Also working on my COC#3 20mm close videos. Figured out a couple things 1.) I need to stop wearing my sunglasses, cuz I'm not seeing the video screen as well, and 2.) I found a different auto-focus mode after I shot these, it should point-focus better, instead of trying to optimize the whole image. 3.) I need to do a better job getting the set on video [\media] [\media] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwm Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Turday: Travelling for work again, and using a gym far, far away, with not much to speak of. Pull Ups: BW: 5 BW+53#; 5, 5, 4, 3 < people were shocked and started talking about how crazy it was, and "that's like those guys doing 1 arm PUs on the internet". #1 - I don't have the power/weight ratio like my 1 arm PU friends here, and #2 these guys at work need to set their sights higher Did a bunch of random stuff with machines & light dumbbells. KBSwings: 53# KB; 36:36; 18 r/i; 8 intervals < after deadlifting Sunday, Squats Monday, this is all my posterior could handle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwm Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Jason - you know my squats suck, but since you asked: 135# x 10; 225# x 5; 285# 3 x 5 There are feeling stronger, but my hip mobility is still a factor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find they really help me warm-up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hips are a wreck from sitting for work all the time, and planes are the worst. I think the compression shorts would help along with knee wraps, but what I really need to do is work in a 2nd day of squats again, and also get my sled out and do more sled pulls forward & reverse.

I'm on my ass all day for work as well. About a month or so I bought a Veri-Desk too which allows me to stand when I work. Switching back and forth helps my back and such a lot.

bwwm Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Today: DB 1 arm OHP: 83# 9 x 8 < can't wait to get to 7 x 10 so I can move up weight & drop volume 2HP: 119# x 10 179# 4, 4, 4, 3, 2 < thumbs tearing up further away from the joint. Need to get the wood trainers going this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 You really crank up the volume, Martin! Is your last set normally near a max effort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hi Eric, thanks for the encouragement! Normally on 2HP, I was getting a pretty consistent 5 sets of 4 reps with the 179#, but the skin has been coming apart on my thumbs. I don't do a lot of 1RM work anymore, I usually just try to build volume on the 80% stuff and slowly increase volume till I can move the weight up a little. I find my biggest challenge with training has to do with joint health. If I can keep the joints healthy, then I can make slow, steady progress. If I start doing much 1RM stuff, then my joints start barking and I regress in my training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwm Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Today's workout was so pathetic it's not worth mentioning. Moral of the story - I like really ripe peaches, but my GI tract does not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
