jumping one or both feet leaving the ground.
It might very well lead to athleticism please dont call me a fitness freeek.
Made some Ok TV changed some diapers…
did some ball and foam rolling at home.
thinking I can train Sat. well see maybe I am on to something with two balls out days.

so, what is this “jumping” 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 “fitness” or “athleticism” thing that is mentioned in articles here?[/quote]
That would be ‘functional’ 
Is functional so bad???
I do like to jump sprint and pick up heavy shit.
I don’t like lying down and pressing heavy shit 
that sounded lots like crossfit.
uhg
training 4.5.10
lower with a visit from the fireman.
moblity
OH squats 9x 2x10
leg swings 13,403,445,085
Deadlift 135x5,225 2x5, 315x5,405x5,425 2x2, 450 to knees fuck you.
power curls 135x5, 185x5.
Front squats 185 4x8
notes.
Pulling felt ok.
during 315 x5 the fire alarm went off.
the people in the pool are leaving.
I go to the front desk which is like outside and down a hall and when I ask the girl there she is like
its Ok someone just pulled the fire alarm…
during the 405 set I smelled smoke… looked around the 5 other people are oblivious…
I see maintenance type guy running around and he is like Yeah a towel caught on fire.
During the first set of 425 3 or 4 firemen walk thru the gym to go to the pool…
and all kind of laugh at me
loud.
I realized that somehow the gym had filled with some smoke - and Im rapping with DMX going for broke for a triple.
duh.
power curls - in spirit of Tony doing crazy shit.
fun as hell- not good for the elbows.
Next week snatch burpees.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
front squats, these where all I could manage after pulling.
thanks for looking.
Its only a fire and poisonous smoke. But its deadlifting day. Hard core Kevin. I have a new hero.
Good lifting, next tough I want video of the DL’s and the smoke/fire.
Then I’ll tell my gym they need to add these sorts of thing.
so, should we have tony do the snatch/burpees with 2 legs, or just one?

It’s only because:
a.) those sick f’ers train with burning towels in their firehouse gym too.
b.) they were jealous they couldn’t get a full workout in before the fire alarm rang about a smoking towel.
c.) they were already high from poisonous toxic towel fumes.
d.) they assume all of the NYC gyms use fake 45lb plates except for their own firehouse gym
e.) all of the above.
thanks for checking in people…
pch2!!!
thank you , he is fun, its never late.
Are you still rolling???
Sooo… turns out one of the life guards lit an incense stick - likely to cover the ‘smoke’ from pot.
smell and somehow a towel fell on it or something.
nice right?
I think the firemen just thought it was funny to see some douchebag lifting when he should have left the gym.
training upper horizontal 4.6.10
mobility, lytp, dislocates, scap shit, push ups, scap pushups
A1 face pulls 3x10
A2 Hanging leg raises feet to bar 3x10
B1 chest supported row 2 plates x 8, 3 plates x5,3plates x5,3plates+25 x5 3plates+25 x5
B2 DB floor press DB floor press 60x5,70x5,80x5,100x4 100x3
C Kroc Row 2 x 20
D shoulder finisher BO raises 20 lbs front plate raises *
45 side raises 20 3x10
Notes.
Face pulls at the begining - great.
hanging leg raises- I think at this point I can rock 20 or so- so its more for releasing the low back then for abs.
See I hid some pressing in there. 100’s felt heavy needs work.
I think I can do 4 plates ont the chest seated row- coming soon.
Kroc rows- felt ok I guess I should just go for rep Pr’s we only go up to 100 
shoulder junk- I do the plate raises with bent arms- seems to work.
Huge pump…
Tonight wat chatty bastard night started when I rolled the db’s over to where the chest row jammy is.
Another dude I train at similar times with - he is a pretty big dude- stopped incline pressing 315 in the
smith to help me wrangle the 100’s for floor presses.
that is a pain in the ass.
thanks for reading people.
Those were chuckles of admiration at your dedication to your lifting.
Y’know - something just occurred to me and it prob ain’t nothin’ but do you tote heavy stuff in your job? I seem to recall you carry around heavy lighting apparati. That sounds a situation for the biceps to become strong but the tris fall behind. Mebbe more triceps work (pushdowns and the like) for more volume might relieve the tendonitis in the pulling muscles. My elbows stopped hurting once a brought curls and chins back in, mebbe it works the other way round too.
Just a non-professional trainer thought.
The mental image of you deadlifting while the gym burned around you made me smile.
I will henceforth refer to this as “Nero training”. He fiddled, you deadlifted. Screw distractions. I love it.
That is too funny. Nothing like burning the whole place down to cover for lighting up a j. I guess he needed something to take the edge off of all the hard work that goes on at the pool.
just stopping in to say hi and thanks for all the nuggets of wisdom you leave in my thread
these little baby days will soon be a thing of the past…enjoy every minute that he can’t crawl or walk
Thanks people…
yeah the fire thing was a little sureal I wasnt’ sure if the smoke was my imagination or not-
until it got thicker. ( even thought it was never that thick)
Hi MinM thanks for stopping by, and yes the time with the Tiny baby is indeed flying by.
training, yes actual training

D2 1 arm db press 35 5x10
E Dips 2x20
F tricep rope crap 2x20
Notes
High pulls suck in the morning - no grip strength
I am not a morining person, think that is changing surprise.
all the pulls/snatches, took only a few minutes,
OH presses felt good after pulls, still weak and shaky
pull ups - suck hard in the arm grip is non existent .
thinking that Tony’s comment on high rep tricep work helping bicepital tendonitis… its pretty sound
My forearms are as big as my upper arms so , we will see what this helps.
thanks for reading

Good to see you are able to grab a little training here and there. It will make a lot of difference when you have time to get fully into it again.
Nice work, Kevin. Its good to see you are keeping some balance even with the newborn.
Good you’re getting some training in. BTW, is the youngun as tall as you are yet?
solid work kev. keep it up. it will do your boy wonders as he grows up, to see pop kicking ass
Thanks people…support is tremendous motivation.
