My elbows are getting sore from all the pullups (not so bad doing straight pullups, but the ropes and rings make them hurt) - gonna start doing a horizontal push/pull once a week vs. 2 x vertical push/pulls and see how it goes.

Failed to post the last couple of workouts - front squats, handstands, neck work and abs

10-03-08

Handstand Pushups (hands on rails and blocks) - B x F x 10 sets (worked on tucked planches, handstand balances, etc - really worked my upper body)

alternate sets with:

Front Squats (alternate wide stance and narrow stance) - 70K x 5, 120K x 1 x 10 sets

Tomorrow I get to do an all day swift water rescue swimmers class - should be a blast and a workout.

Swift water swimming class I did saturday was the best class I've ever been to - highly recommended.

Squat snatches are evil!! Specially if you go for higher reps even with lighter weight.

Are those Renegade Rows in kg or lbs? 48kg renegade row sounds like an awful lot, not because of the rowing, but the stress on the other arm, specially you being kinda heavy!!

I'm going to keep at the squat snatches - they are a good exercise.

10-07-08

Seated DB Clean & Press (clean ea rep) - 50's x 5, 70's x 5, 80's x 5

Read about the seated db clean and press recently and wanted to try them out - pretty good exercise.

Front Squats - 70K x 5

Handstands - Body x 1 x 8 sets

alternate sets with:

Hammer Strength 4way Neck - 35x25, 45x20, 55x15, 65x10, 75x5

Weighed in a 286 today. I started doing the handstands on the floor today vs. blocks or rails. Each rep is several attempts at a free stand with some partial reps here and there. My hands are starting to get the feel for keeping my balance and I can get some 10-12 sec free stands - my goal here is to be able to walk around on my hands anytime I please - maybe some stairs from there. My pull-ups are finally starting to get more consistant too.
