Farmers walks bars w/90s, 2 x 160 ft
25 lb plate holds each hand 1 minute three times
dead hangs 3 x 60 seconds
bent over rows w/35 lb plate 3 x 10
pullup position, hold 20 sec 3 times
negative pullup 3 times 7 sec each
2 band pullups, let band mostly pull me up 3 times
Found this from a Marine on youtube who does one arm pullups while drinking water, and does handstand pushups w/o wall assistance. He also weighs probably 80+ lbs less than I do.
That’s crazy.
^Agree

Another online workout. The barbell twisting bar exercise and reverse curls–while raising forearms above horizontal–really worked area from wrist to forearm midpoint.

Tried prowler on gym’s 50’ astro turf. 6 rounds for 50’ each with 270 & 305 loaded. Felt like I was back at football practice w/o coach standing on it and yelling.
Hamstring felt fine today.

Works are looking good. How are you liking the prowler? Not sure I could push 270 or 305 up my driveway. Anything over 200 gets tough at my place.
You must have a really heavy prowler and/or a significant incline driveway. I’m finding prowler work to be a good workout finisher though I’m only moving 300 feet in 50 foot segments on a level surface. Unloaded it doesn’t feel like l00 lbs.

deadlift 1 x 10 @ 135, 3 x 5 @ 225, 315, 335
machine rows 1 x 6 @ about 100, 3 x 5 @ 220
leg press 3 x 15 @ 180, 270, 360 1 x 10 @ 270
cross cable lateral raises 3 x 10 w/10s
dips 4 x 10
prowler 6 sets @ 50’, added weights up to 290 (almost no more room for plates)
Hamstrings fine and my property taxes are less than expected. All’s good.
I have to get one. I’m holding off until spring. I am worried it’s going to get here and then the snow will hit, and I won’t be able to use it.

Crippler, your truck’ll be a good substitute in meantime, probably surpass anything a prowler can do

Good work going on in Here as always… nice SSB
Upper back pain while doing low straight bar squats stops me from doing 3 plates.
My gym has semiannual powerlifting meets that I’d like to join if I can solve squat bar problem.
You should to it. It’s nice to just test and challenge yourself.
Go for it. Competition is a great motivator.
You guys. You’re each strong as an ox; hel320 you’re almost as youthful as Crippler who’s never going to age. If I can get my bench to a comfortable 245 and deadlift somewhat over 345, I think I’ll pursue it. I missed seeing the last one.
