Excellence Matters

20 dead hang chins = both strong and lean. That sounds like a great goal.

Well you did 10 sets of leg press.
Enjoyed reading some of your log :slight_smile:

I didn’t know you could use Ham strings to curl with! I usually throw those away after Christmas dinner.

Nice work on those squats OG. Gotta love em.

Junk day

Waiters walks 4x70pacesx50s

fingertip plate carries 2x70 paces x35s

BB holds (trying to help grip 2x225x30 seconds 1x275x20 seconds

Incline Db curls 20s x20, 20sx16, 20sx9

band resisted push planks 2xhow long I stand it…

Klokov Press bar only just repping to get blood flow

A guy stops me as I am doing the plate carries…to tell me he thinks I am going to hurt my hands doing that because I will stretch the ligaments and tendons…I mean right in the middle of walking? WTF Than as I am doing the Klokov presses he comes up to me and asks me about why I do waiters walks…Can you wait 20 seconds until I put the bar down? WTF…He is a nice enough guy, but it frustrated me enough that I had to leave the gym or I was going to make him eat a freakin DB…

have a great sunday!

Peace

Looking strong OG. Rack pulls are taking off.

I lift at home so I don’t get gym members talking to me. But occasionally I’ll be in the middle of a heavy set of something and one of the kids or my wife will barge in and start asking me questions. They just don’t get it.

thanks Steve…Im having fun with the rack pulls…it massages my fragile ego

Incline BP 110x5, 130x4, 150x3, 165x2, 185x1, 195x1 205x1, 180x12 using Paul Carter’s bench template. Thats the end of Phase 1 so the weights slide up a tad for the next 3 weeks…

Spoon Press 15x50s, 2x12x50s

seated cable row 3x15x100 with a 3 sec hold. back a little tired from weighted chins so backed off on weight and squeezed…probably more productive anyway.

Actually, a 174# goat IS something to fear!

Yeah, I’m dropping in. Sorry that I missed your triumphant return, while I was mia for two months. Looks like you are moving along as strong as ever, though. You never really seem to break stride, even when you do.

Thanks Strick! and good to have you back on the airwaves!

dead hang neutral chins 10,8,7,7,6,5,5,5,4 making a little headway…forearms are spent

Peace

That’s a lot of work on a “refresh” day, great job on the chins.

With all the variety in your workouts, I get DOM’s just from reading.
I don’t know how you can do deadlift work with all the hanging around you do. Must have popeye forearms from trying to hang on to the gorillas.

Jack - Thanks, I think I did over do it! at least it feels that way, no umph this AM.

OP= I have the real DOM’s!!! so stupid is this old goat!

All of you guys doing the Koklov press is making me wonder if I should be trying it.
