I’m sure I could get used to doing it after work and I find my performance can be better at after work workouts… but I can be much more consistent in the morning, and consistency is more important than numbers. Plus it feels great to start your day off positive and knowing you’ve already worked harder than some people do all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith513 Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 5 minute warm up 10x 30 seconds 30 seconds rest 5 minute cool down 10 minutes of yoga last 3 rounds I really went at it. I don't know how to handle it, whether its my grip or using the rowing machine or both but im in a state of constant hunger. Luckily I'm not one for sugar but, peanut butter, meat and carbs are all I eat. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith513 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 Had to rush my workout this morning, overall was good, but wish I had more time inbetween sets for more quality reps. calisthenics Loadable DB 2 3/8" 75lbsx3x3 both hands Negatives both hands 80lbsx2 85lbsx2x2 Chest Krusher 4 springs 2 top two bottom 1,1,3,1,1 RGT 77.5x3 80x3 77.5x3 80x3 weren't the best this week, had to cut down rest times and my left index finger is sore RGT thumbless holds RH 72.5 9,8,10 seconds LH 72.5 9,9, 10 seconds Napalm Nightmare 2 3/8 goal was 180x3 this week but didn't happen... If i did it early in workout i know i'd do more but i save it for last. 160x3 165x3 170x3 172.5x3x2 88lbs KB swings 5x10 55lbs TGU 1 each side sledge rotations 2x10 sidewinder work getting to the point where 80lbs feels good on the RGT (still have a long way to go)... But this slight sprain/strain is messing me up a little bit. I've said it before but its amazing how different progress is for grip.. It seems like it takes a month to add 5lbs to a lift Which is fine by me. I'm also finding my grip holds out much better on Tuesdays workouts than Saturdays. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had more time to rest between sets and that my finger wasn't strained. But I still hit my numbers except for Napalm Nightmare... I couldn't get 175lbs or 180.... But the lower weights feel smooth, I thought for sure I'd get it. Grip is so strange, 2.5lbs is the difference between lifting something easy and an anchor.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith513 Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 This is the sickest ive been in a long time.... I barely managed to do my workout. coughing up green stuff, fatigue and body aches... My nephew blew his nose all over my hands on Thursday night... Wondering if thats what caused it. If I did that when I was his age my uncles would have punched my face in and rightfully so. The other one knocked my beer over that night and laughed about it... kids these days calisthenics RGT going light this week because of index finger injury 70x2x5 sets left hand 70x30 seconds 8 reps 80x2x5 sets right hand 75x 30 seconds 8 ALMOST 9... if i didn't rechalk... why is my right hand all of the sudden stronger these past 5 weeks or so? Even reverse bending my right hand seems to be activating much better Chest Krusher 4 springs 2 top 2 bottom 3,3,2,2,2 inch thigh holds LH 25 25 26 seconds RH 25 25 25 seconds 3x3 inch negatives both hands by now I was really really drained 26lbs KB swings 20x5... I basically was dry humping my forearms it was pathetic TGU w/16lbs sledge head 5x1 both sides . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst part is I was supposed to go out with a girl tonight…She’s into the Highland games and thinks steel bending and blacksmithing is cool. She’s going away for wedding and now will have to wait until next week. The kettlebell will have to do until then… 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith513 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) I'm still really sick, did some yoga last night but that was it. I'm thinking i have the flu or a really bad chest infection. This morning i did some very low rep calistenics to warm up I had a decent session with the WD2, I forget the reps but I went up to 2-2 for a few sets. Then I lowered to 1-2 and did a 10 second rep, and 1-1 and did a 20 second rep..the slow 20 second reps really simulate bending. I'm going to do those every week. Levering both hands 24"x3 25"x3 24"x3 I couldn't bend. I tried, and instead of being stubborn and hurting myself I called it quits. still did the isos G5x7 seconds x3 Edited November 3, 2022 by Blacksmith513 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith513 Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 not sure if it was the coffee, lean cuisine for gummies but I got a random burst of energy... did 3500m on the C2 warmed up to 2-2 w/ WD2 didn't count reps or sets finished that 60d i could only kink on Thursday... w/ IMP 2 fold 60ds IMP 2fold x2 60d IMP 2 fold 60d IMP 3 foldi took orange spring of WD and did a few sets of 20 second reps with a bunch of rubber bands... I think this will allow me to hit and hold for longer periods of time big different with an IMP folded in 2 vs 3....

Him and another mason plus his laborer would do a block foundation in one day... If the conditions where right... thats about 350 block per mason. Started with 12" block for the first few courses.. He'd lay them with one arm... Thats a lot of volume right there. But he injured his back doing a foundation in his mid 20s and spent the rest of his life in severe pain. this morning was 5 minutes warm up, 15 rounds 30 on 30 off. level 9 on C2.. 5 minute cool down 15 minutes yoga Edited November 7, 2022 by Blacksmith513 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
