Some notes:

Due to my lack of not having a good clock for this Tabata, the rest part was on most sets some seconds longer then 10 sec. One set it was about 20 sec of rest. I tried to hold a check on the time, using 2 cellphones.

My technique was probably not the best on many reps.

--

This feelt awesome for my stamina, which currently is bad. I actually throw up afterwards..

I think I will be able to build up a good stamina with the help of Tabata!

Next time in Tabata deadlift, I will most probably use the same weight, if not 73 kg.

Thanks David.

David I have a question for you. What's the next logical step after IM blue nail? Cut it down? Or what kind of steel would you recommend? Perhaps some thicker HRS? Thanks man.

If you can get your hands on some 8mm HRS(varmvalsad S235JR) that should do the trick. But don't get that one from maskindelen.se for some reason all their 8 and 10 mm HRS are freakishly hard to start. But if you can find another source they should in 90% of the times be right above a blue

I was not happy with the time on the first bend, so all pumped up I decided tryin' to bend another IM blue, on a better time. Managed to bend a IM blue nail, DO, under 2 inches (5 cm) from the insides, on 54 seconds. Which is a new PR! :D with 1 second :tongue .. so:

I intended to do Tabata Squats. But after the first set I by habit started raising my heels.. :shifty I did the arm movement as well. My legs a little wider then usual when I do regular hindu squats. So this was all a crazy mix.. But all in all it worked my legs good, and especially it worked good for my stamina, which was my main goal with this exercise.

Yesterday I bended 2 IM blue nail. First in 1 minute, second in 2 minutes. Bended in golf towel. Still little problems getting my hands in the right position, but it's getting better.

Started the twohundredsitups.com program today. I do Knee-Hugs instead of Sit Ups. My goal is to dramatically increase my Max on it (12 as of today). I'm starting on week 1. I will do my best to actually complete the program and not go with my bad history of quitting programs I start!! More goals with the program is to be able to do Knee-Hugs and similar exercises in programs such as Tabata and Amrap.

I will probably only update sporadicly about this program though.

Deadlift, mixed grip

143 kg x 1

153 kg (337.3 pounds) x 1 (PR)

Fat Gripz Deadlift (DO)

103 kg x 0

88 kg x 1, 1

88 kg one time thumbless, one time with support of thumbs.

One Hand Deadlift

RH: 88 kg x 1

LH: 88 kg x 1

88 kg = 194 pounds.

I haven't been doin' very much deadlift yet. Today was PR with 2,5 kg (5,5 pounds). 153 kg is pretty much the max I can get on my short barbell. When I can rep several times on 153 kg I plan to start visiting a gym to be able to lift heavier. My dream in deadlift is to one day lift 300 kg (661,38 pounds)!! If I someday do it, It's a long journey there, but I don't exactly plan to stop training.. im in it for life! ;)

My grip got exhausted in the 153 kg deadlift, even though I had mixed grip, so I quickly put down weights to the grip exercises. Maybe I could have lifted 153 kg in DO, but I didn't wanna risk anything.

In one hand deadlift I had big problems getting my hand in the right position. I could have lifted 88 kg multiple times if I had gotten a better position quicker.

Deadlift is fun..

Bending

DO:

IM blue nail bended below 2 inches from the insides. Time: 47 seconds (PR).

--

Because i'm in a hurry and have to leave home about.. NOW.. I only bended one piece of steel. But i'm very happy to hit PR again!! Closing in on the below 30 sec bend :D

Inspired by a thread in the gripboard section I earlier tried to pinch my 12 kg Kettlebell with the kettlebell upside down. Managed to pinch it once with RH, not close with LH.

Also tried some Flips with the 12 KG kettlebell. Strenght Wise it's OK, just need to get better at the teqnique. I think it's a good exercise.

I have gotten myself a GymBoss Clock to use for Tabata. First time with it today, worked great! So the timing was good today, besides to bad as in the Tabata Deadlift a while ago, when I didn't have the clock. So i'm really happy with it.

Same weight next Tabata Kettlebell Squats (ATG) workout.

Yesterday I closed CoC #2 with LH, on a later second attempt.

Bending

DO:

IM blue nail bended to 1.22 inches (3.1 centimeters) from the insides. Time: 43 seconds (PR).

Bended in single IM pads !! I had never succesfully bended a IM Blue Nail in single IM pads before.. so it felt awesome to bend in PR time + to bend it below 4 centimeters (1.57 inches).

--

Starting to work on my chin ups today. I can't as today do not even do one. I'm starting grease the groove with negative chin ups today. Starting light to progress to more as I move on.

Today, just now, I finished Week 1 on the twohundredsitups.com program. Onto Week 2..

1 succesfull Roll Up (PR)

LH:

1 succesfull Roll Up (PR)

+ one time very close

Yay! :tongue

With RH, PR with 30 gram (1.05 ounces).. in Roll Ups I think it's wise to do every PR you can, how small it even can be.

YES! Now I have succeded with one more of my goals for this year. Now I think I will try to get it on video, before I move on to focus on another of my goals for 2011.

I don't care much about missing the 12 cm (4,72 inches) piece. Because the first bend felt awesome. Been chasing it for a a while now. :tongue

Now I just got a video on a bend of Ironmind Blue Nail, below 30 seconds. I don't think I will upload it to YouTube though. Probably just have it for my own collection/memory.

Great training day !! :D
