KD13 Not Very Strongman

Not pushing hard at the minute, diet being off due to trying to ration, bit of stress also and just overall feeling low energy. Bit of back and bis though just to get something in.

Nothing too intense but some good quality reps

Put a chair in front of you, or a stool- something that allows your legs to prop up at 90 degrees, and do reps with super slow negatives? Is that possible or would that not let you pull appropriately to keep the bar on the door? Could even add weight if you have a dip belt.

Thanks for the suggestions, the chair may be a good shout, will be much more controlled. I’ve done them with legs tucked towards chest or in an l sit, hits lats better but any jolty pull could see me with a broken coccyx!

Weather has picked up now and lighter evenings so back on my outside bar for now.

Here’s the issue, only door in the whole house I can get it on and due to the tiles in the bathroom there is only 5mm for the support bar to rest on. Any movement and its bouncing off!

Probably impossible to get hold of right now but for future reference, I have one of those that wedge between the door frame - it’s pretty solid and can use it in any door frame. I was worried it’d leave marks too but I haven’t had any issues. I think mine was from Argos and only about £10.

This kind?

Might look at one like that as can put it lower down to do rack chins with less of a height to fall from!

I have this bad boy outside

Yeah. Just be careful the first time you use it after setting it up - I’ve seen a few videos of them falling down.

db shoulder press 90 deg
Thought I would look at my last recorded DC numbers for a few lifts over the next few sessions and see how much improvement I have made. First up 90 deg shoulder press. Rest pause.

Pretty happy with that.

This guy’s putting out some great stuff, thanks for posting the links.

Looks like a seal row. I need some boxes to put under my bench. My arms are too long. I’d love to figure out a chest supported row at home.

Yep kinda like that, first move to overload the lengthened range then the lighter dumbells finish off the shortened.

I dont think the way I linked it includes the explanation, I can link to that bit if anyone cant see it.

Covering a fair distance every other day with a fair lump of weight on the back, that’s gotta count as leg day right?!
