thats good pulling KMC, and I bet the baby cleans are what are tiring you out.
Two three-hour chunks of sleep is fantastic. That should make you feel spry and refreshed.
And great pulling, that was a stout triple.
Great pic of you and the little one. So matchy-matchy. ![]()
Good on you for training hard despite the difficulties.
Thanks people!!!
Training is going to be catch as catch can for a while.
Baby and work are keeping me busy, that and in a week or so we are moving out to renovate.
150 year old 387 sq foot apartment + new baby + lead paint = shit to take care of.
ātrainingā
4x50 body weight squats
4x30 pushups
5x10 bulgarian squats
4x20 v-up sit up things.
sounds like you are āgood busyā busy. Steve is a real a-hole with that twins commment. Come on, let the guy breath for a minute.
Happy St Paddyās day to you and the family, Dad.
Thanks Harry.
Steve has a funny sense of humor
Busy is good, I cant complain about work.
I have been over what I do for the past few years,
somehow having the kid, I have motivation to do āgood workā
its not about needing to earn more but wanting to work harder if that where possible.
training
12,000 weighted step ups, at work, via 14ā ladder at work.
Lower 3.20.10
jump rope 5 mins
mobility
A zercher of blocks ( below knee) 135 3x5, 225 3x3 275 3x1
B zercher lunge 135 2x5
C Bulgarian squat 50 dbs 4x6
D1 leg press calves 5 x 20
D2 standing abs 4x10
Notes
zerchers without pins suck ass
these kicked my ass, I atemmpted a set of air humps and only got 10 at 225,
bulgarian splits, calves and abs I could manage, but enough
If you think zerchers are the shit
zercher lungers are even betterā¦
thanks for reading.
Great training Kev. I need to try zercher lunges. Thanks for the idea.
Cute little ankle biter brother⦠training is looking good, and your wife sounds like a trooper!
Zercher lunges? hmmmmmmā¦
Creative training! I am having a hard time even visualizing zercher lunges.
thanks people⦠here is what zercher lunges look like
I should have stuck the word reverse in there and it would make sense
not me in the vid.
zerchers + bulgarian squats left me for dead⦠:)))
14 hour day yesterday lack luster training⦠hmmm a pattern??
3.22.10 upper horizontal
jumprope mobility lytp, dislocates, tons of dislocates some face pulls
A cg bench 135 3x8 work 185 x8,195x6,205x2, 225 2x2
B low incline DB bench 60 4x12
B2 head supported DB pairs row 60 4x12
C1 zottman/hammer curl super set 35 4x8 each
C2 close grip pushup BW + 45 4x8
D db cleans 8lbs x 25
Notes.
Close grip sucks- but is the smart move for me.
db bench triceps weak as kittens after the cgb.
DB rows should have went much heavier
thats it for now thanks for reading.
wow, reverse zercher lunges look slightly less fun than pulling your own teeth. Since I donāt like to do difficult things, I donāt see me adding those any time soon. They do look like man-makers though.
Whereās my pliers?
I have broken my reality TV cherry.
26 hours in two days, I think Ill pass on training.
I have put off doing reality shows, cause well - they suck.
This one wasnāt too horrible but one is enough.
looks like Im down to two days of training,
might keep it to this for a while,
lower
zercher
something unilateral
abs
upper floor press or cgbp
db rows
some arm crap
face pulls
if I get a 3rd day
weighted pullup
weighted dip
snatch high pulls/cleans
abs.
thats gonna be it for a while
kmc
Looks like a good plan KMC.
Better to be busy with work and family. Watch out though, you might put on a few of those nasty lbs.
Speaking of which, howās Rowanās weight doing these days?
Thanks OPowers⦠I have indeed put on some lbs⦠Im hovering just above or below 190.
I prefer below.
I only want to weigh 200 or so if I can stay lean, and somewhat āfastā
Rowan is doing good, eating pooping sleeping and breaking hearts, the gym tan laundry of his age.
training thought about what I need to work on⦠and this is the upper version.
via 531 for unbalanced bastards.
upper vertical
3.29.10
mobility, jump rope, lunges, dislocates, face pulls, lytp, some cleans, jump shrugs snatches just bar
A snatch grip high pull 135 2x3, 185 2x2, 225 3x2 straps after 185
B OH BB press 65 3x5,95x5,105x5,115x10
C1 pullup bw+25 8,6,5,5,5,4,2+35
C2 OH db 1 arm press 40 x5x10
D dip bw 3x15
E face pulls
Notes
I want to fix what aint right.
How can I squat just about 4 bills and probably on a good day pull close to 5 bills, and barely OH press 135 more then 3x?
Obviously there is something wrong both physiologically and with my training.
So 531 for imbalanced bastids it is.
Robbing the best from Defranco and cressey where suited.
lower will be some type of zercher like I wrote above, and the 3rd day should I get to it, will be some kind of conditioning work, Id love to do 2x of those.
High pulls - this and OH squats are like food and water.
OH press, started these moving slow- low max percentages.
figured pull-ups and dips + 5x10 bbb best way to go.
huge pump felt great.
I remember rocking out pull-ups + 90lbs ditto dips hmmmm needs work.
shit it all needs work.
thanks for reading.
Nice training. kinda disappointed in you mentioning the GTL thing, thought you were above that. I only learned what it was stuck in the hotel in Illinois the other weekend. My training partner, a successful engineer, apparently loves the reality TV.
Dont be sad⦠GTL 's only brilliance is in its stupidity.
All of us are imbalanced, in some way. Iāve got no OH press to speak of!
Thanks peopleā¦
3.30.10 lower
foreshame. I used the pussy pad the smith machine and a bosu today.
mobility jumk
BB complex of jump shrug, front squat , power snatch rdl just bar
A hanging leg raise feet to face 3x10
B OH squat 95 3x10
C zercher 135 2x5, 225 3x3, 275 2x2
D one arm DB snatch 60x5,70x5 80x3,2 70x5,70x5
E NGHR 3x10
Notes
OH squat hanging leg raise db snatches, Im feeling like kmc again.
just needed some sprints and Iād feel spry
or dead.
needed to do hanging raises first- low back thanked me
zerchers- itās hard to get good at these.
Balanced the barbell on two benches.
see they are good for something.
DB snatches I used to double a 100db needs work.
GHR felt awesome using the bosu and smith machine see its useful after all.
what else?
I got that instant drain from zerchers, and snatches.
Got it the other day from high pulls- felt awesome.
this new plan seems to be what I need
big compound move
some jumping shit
unilateral stuff
abs/low back.
thanks for looking.
so, what is this ājumpingā of which you speak? If it has something to do with both feet leaving the ground at the same moment, I have not experienced this. why would one do such a thing? is it this āfitnessā or āathleticismā thing that is mentioned in articles here?
