what are said rules I mean do you have to get on your knees to make it fair? is it a cage match or more like an mma match and if a mma match how do you compensate for the weight difference ? LOL
I do love my kids and I am real laid back with them, but sometimes you gotta do the “thumb-to-the-eye” and then quickly grab them (while they’re reeling and disorientated)and either clothe them or toss’em in the tub.
and oh btw good lifting.
A question have you ever done dumdbell rows with a mini-band before choked up of course? Because I am thinking about doing something like that for accesory work…what you think

Trickery is definitely needed most mornings to get any level of cooperation.
Dbell rows with mini-band, haven’t done, but I like the thought. Are you thinking choking around maybe the base of the dbell rack, or another dbell?
Actually choking the band under the front of the bench as it would force you to pull back into your hip. And thinking more on this it would have to be 2 light bands so the dbell doesn’t get cockeyed and stay balanced. I would loop each band around each side of your hand by pinky and thumb for even pressure. I am going to try tonite and get back later on (7hrs) probally use a 80 pounder.
let me know how that works, seems like the bands would add a nice contraction at the top.
Yeah this exercise is golden. we ended up using a 70lb dbell with 2 mini-bands that did not have alot of tension on the bottom but really kicked in at the top. we did a 10x10 switching between 3 people no rest.
We really had to force the bell to the waist which really activated the lats alot. I will be sore from this. If you ever did alot of boxing kinda felt like doing under-the-rope-uppercut drills.
I will do this on cgp day as an assistance lift done either dynamicaly or repetition wise.
Nice work Pete.
the concept 2 rower is pretty cool you can program it to countdown
do intervals tabatas etc.
I need to do more of them- treadmill kills my ankles- and eliptical does something not kosher in my
mid back.
I will say I stopped doing hanging leg raises , while following a program- and I need to do them-
the time spent hanging was so good for my back- seemed to alleviate what ever back compression is going on.
Ok.
I want all you Bastids. fischer, Meat, PeteS Eco & bunny to bottle the water from the house you grew up in
and send it to me. Gallons are ok. C.O.D if you must.
banded Kroc rows I think I need to spend some cash over at elite fts.

hmm curious. did you double the minis? I think if you doubled them you would have a good amount of tension out of the gate. And yeah, I spent my time in golden gloves, so I can picture what you are saying. My two cents is keep them as RE work, but I will know more when I try

well, any of the water outside of NYC will do fine. Spend a month in the country, and maybe you will grow. j/k buddy
Funny story, a few months back one of your hometown HC bands came into town. Friends. A bunch of the guys form back in the day were hanging out with them. We started talking, ok, making fun of, how short and stocky they were. Then my buddy reminded me of when CroMags Age of Quarrell came out, and how fucking buff and tough Harley and company looked. Then they came to town and it was like ‘excuse me little guy, can I give you a boost?’ LOL. Still, w/Bad Brains, one of my all time top ten bands…
Oh, and pound for pound you are running neck and neck with all of us, wait, did I say neck and neck? neck and no-neck.
pulled the squat day card, no cardio this a.m.

The minis were doubled but let me explain we have mini’s that go down to PT level. The minis we used were yellow and at full tension are rated at 25lbs so with 2 on the bell and not going to full tension prolly 15-20 pds exerted. But the kicker was the flexion we got going towards the waist it really woke up the lats-- I am fried today lats are still swolen and biceps are pretty sore also.
I will have to try the Fischer rows sometime soon. Not too soon. My upper back is fried from the Krocs yesterday. I need to hunt down some ibu so I can get under the bar to squat in an hour and a half.

effen pchain tightening up. For a so so day, my posterior took a beating. My GMs were super slow and controlled, which I think has a lot to do with the fact getting laundry out of the machine just now was a near impossible feat.
