bit late to the party here but BW exercises can be a great option for assistance, or in some cases like chin ups, even main work. They are also much easier to recover from than weight training (mostly). You can hit them with moderate intensity pretty frequently once you build up your volume, and in terms of previously mentioned press ups, hand-release push ups are fantastic.
basically on the down phase, you rest your chest on the ground, then you take your hands up from the floor to completely negate the stretch reflex, then press powerfully to the up position, then lower down in a controlled manner and start again. Great exercise
Thankyou, welcome to my log thanks for dropping in ![]()
Did the warm up feel good?
Yeah it did actually thanks. Hows it going i bet you’ve been busy haha.
Lower 2
Worst workout ever.
This morning i woke up feeling a bit sick, but not sick enough to miss training. Anyway as i was walking to the gym which is about 1.2-1.5km from my house about halfway there i randomly starting throwing up all over the pavement. Anyway i thought well il be fine so i continued walking and nerly three up three more times and i kept sneezing vomit. ![]()
Luckily for me no vomit got on my clothes so i proceeded to the gym and trained.

Anyways now that iv trained, eaten and am back home, im feeling alot better. weird. ![]()
And if anyones wondering why i skipped calves 1. Im doing conditioning every time i train which is either the prowler or farmers walks. Both of which my calves feel sore after. 2. My calves cramp everytime i do calf raises. 3. Cant be bothered
So on all of the machines there is a mini screen thingy that has a timer and a rep counter, awesome! I just noticed this today.
I’m doing great, yeah, it’s a lot of work and I don’t have too much free time (I wrote a bit on my log about this)
How are you doing?
Usually when I hurl I don’t train. Still, you ended up feeling better so you obviously did the right thing.
