maidenfan Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here. I’ve quit all the social media baloney and am going to start posting my workouts here again. Grip is implemented generally by doing pull-ups with odd objects. Weights are accomplished with pull-ups, push-ups, handstands, and bodyweight squats. Sandbags and heavy D-balls occacionally. Fitness and healthy movement is the overall goal. My kid is 4 1/2 and I’m 48 now - I need to be healthy for a long time 3/9/18 35 min circuit - 1 min incline treadmill walk (rest part), 30-45s parallette handstand/presses on the wall, 3-4 pull-ups on atomik eggs, alternate 300m skis/rows on the skierg/C2. 15 mins on the heavy bag after ive been using boat buoys filled w water for heavy bags - cheap and the work great. The Atomik eggs are sort of a narrow to wide pinch/crush workout 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 3/10/18 1 min incline treadmill walk, 1 x hspu/balance, alternate 5-8 x eagle loop pull-ups/2-4 x 3.5” Atomik pipe bomb pull-ups, alternate 1-3 min C2 row/skierg - 38 mins, no rest from 38 min to 50 min, alternate 1 min treadmill and 5 x 2” fat grip peg board pull-ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 I have a ton of the Atomik products and the texture is all the same - like a fine grit sandpaper. It’s more designed for climbing/longer duration stuff vs grip focused stuff. With that said, anything 3.5” diameter will be challenging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 3/11/18 1.5 min treadmill, 10-15 incline push-ups, 10-15 country crush (w 2.25” wood inserts) bodyweight rows, 1 min skierg - 37 mins, no rest. Mins 37 to 50, switch to 1 min treadmill, max set (6-10) of bodyweight rows on homemade 2.5” wood pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 3/12/18 BW - 273.8 100 strict pull-ups as fast as possible. Rest has to be on the treadmill at a fast walking pace/incline. 28:10. Alternated spiral grips and the peg board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 100 straight pull-ups - lol - no. Set of 5, rest on the treadmill for 30s - 1min, set of 5, rinse and repeat til I hit 100. I do pull-ups 5-6 days a week in various forms - usually sets of 3-4 to 7-8 reps, depending how hard the implement is. Workouts are always at least 30min intervals, up to an hour, so the volume is high What I call a pull-up is a general term for grabbing an item and pulling myself up - could be more of a chin, etc I usually use some sort of grip device vs a bar I was a Marine and have attended the two day Crossfit instructors course (don’t follow Crossfit, nor do I kip my pull-ups), so I get the weird kip (Crossfit calls it work capacity) on the pull-up. Anyway, you get the point. This guy is probably the best as far as pull-ups go. 70 one arm pull-ups - he hangs on the bar for 42 mins getting it done https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5dj7UUN4RIs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Also, speaking of bench, a buddy of mine, Adrian Larsen, is a big bench guy. In fact he has a bench press style named after him - the Larsen press (feet hang off the end of the bench). He was born w dislocated hips and benches w no leg drive. His best raw competition bench is 585 @ 220. Super cool guy https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KPvgJxEOy0E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acorn Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 That stick game looks fun. I may have to try that with my girls. Btw, Are you still in the Portland area? We may be taking a road trip up that way this summer. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never arched on my bench and when I switched to his style of benching I cut out the shoulder pain atleast 60%. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidenfan Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Didn’t know where to post this....I figured here....As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized what’s impotant in life - people and experiences. This is a picture of me and my 78lb mother-in-law wearing a pair of underwear on her head. She lives with us and suffers from dementia - such a horrible disease. She had a moment of clarity tonight and the family laughed for a few minutes. Please enjoy your life, it’s short.
