A little late but a good way to improvise farmers walk is to use two 12pk cases of pop. Grip one in each hand from side to side without using the hand holder for it. Make it harder by holding them vertically. My 2 cents.

So its been a bumpy week for training but hit the gym hard today and mixed it up. In light of reading the High Density stuff I decided to give it a try. Not the article just published but the original one since I’m trying for lean mass.

I’m concerned it won’t be enough size but think I’m going to do it for 2 weeks then get back to my above plan.

Today I did Wide Grip Pull-Ups and Snatches for 20 minutes then did Bent Over Rows and Push-ups for 20 minutes. - Exclamation point means set was interrupted, X means time expired between
Wide Grip Pull-ups: 7, 7, 10 8, 10, 5, 6, 5, 4 = 62 reps
Snatch 65 lb: 7, 7, 5, 5, 4, 6, 4, 5, X = 43 reps

Bent Over Rows 70 lb: 13, 13, 11, 10, 11, 12, 12, 10, 12, 7! = 111 reps
Push-ups: 30, 23, 19, 18, 19, 17, 20, 15, 17 = 178 reps

Part of me doing this was because my back doesn’t seem be to developing much and I’m not getting much of a pump. Needless to say right now my back is sore and entire upper body is feeling pretty good. Had a great pump in the arms at the end of those push-ups.

Day 2 is going to be:
Bicep Curls and Diamond Pushups followed by Dips and Horizontal Rows

Day 3 is going to be:
Leg Press and BW Squats followed by Leg Extensions and Leg Curls (hopefully I can secure both machines)

Day 4 is going to be:
Neutral grip Chin-ups and Reverse Flies followed by Power Clean and Dumbbell Shoulder Press

finish out this week and do one more then take a rest week then back on the original program.
