KD13 Not Very Strongman

Bit of a mixture, legs have been burning!

How’d this go for you? My experience was:
First move - 15 lbs x 10
Second move - 15 lbs x 0, 10 lbs x 6, 5 lbs x 4
Third move - 5 lbs x 10

You went much heavier than me then lol.

I knew it would get shitty quick so I went with my 3kg. That was probably too light for the 10 reps (I actually pushed to 15) of the first move but ended up being bang on for the others. The second one was hard work with out the break in tension you usually get with side lats.

I found myself wanting a 7.5 lb weight. I can make that happen with a lopsided dumbbell.

He said it moved from hardest to easiest strength curve but I disagree. I’m much stronger on the rear delt fly. I used that to pick my weight. I think 15 - 7.5 - 7.5 would be spot on for me.

Maybe it may suit you better to switch the order and try it backwards, see if that balances out the weights for you.

Do you have any wrist/ankle weights? Could add a lb or 2 to your weight that way maybe?

It felt pretty good though, made a nice change doing the raises at a different angle.

Are you using adjustable dumbbells? If so, just load them unevenly to get your in between weights. It won’t matter on hammer curls.

My 3kg, 5kg 7.5kg, 15kg, 20kg, 30kg and 40kg are all set weight dumbells. I have a set of adjustable and some loose weights I can use to bridge the gaps so will use them next time.

I used the 20kg partly because I was too lazy to set up some 17s lol, but mainly because I thought I would still hit around 10 reps as I hit 18 reps with 15kg. Lost more reps than I expected.

I wanted a wedge like in the above video but refuse to pay over £20 for one, so made my own. Got the rough measurements from an ad for one and set about it. Made it a bit taller as that seemed to feel better.

Had some floor mats in the shed so used these with some double sided tape. Turn out pretty sweet.

Did the isometric then squat today, it was pretty horrible!

That’s pretty cool. 30 seconds is a long time!

Yeah it felt it! Was kinda awkward getting it right so the legs where exerting as much force as possible but even still the squats after felt like my quads had little to give especially out the hole.
