5. db curls 30’s x 3 sets super set with BW chin ups x 3 sets
6. Rope pushdowns 40x3 sets super set with push ups BWx3 sets

I limited the time between sets as best as I could and tried to keep the reps higher than I usually use. I can’t remember the reps for each set. The lighter weights and higher reps were friendly to my shoulders.

I like working with bands too. I like that they provide added stress throughout the movement.

Crippler, I’m liking bands more and more. The exercises I’ve used them on feel ‘smoother’ throughout the range of motion.

1a. powertec squats + bands bandsx20, 1 pps x 20, 2 pps x 20, 3 pps x 10, 4 pps x 10

3. powertec calf raises + bands 2 ppsx10,8,6 , bands only x 15

Front squats felt great today. 225 felt like 135. The bands on the powertec worked wonderfully.

Looks good.
Powertec equipment lasts pretty well. My rack is powertec and has held up nicely.

Got outside for a workout. I need a lot of work shouldering stones. Deadlifting on grass wearing cleats was interesting. I may not do that again.

Do not forget to use collars for those farmers’ walk bars.

I made that mistake.

1518

Thanks Mac. We almost found out the hard way we needed collars.

I cleared out a 25 foot section in the basement for carries. 1 trip was down and back. Then we got outside for stone lifts. I tried tacky for the first time. Just on my fingers and hands. The tacky makes lifting atlas stones easier. Goo gone gets the tacky off really well. But I’m not sure how good it is for the skin.

5/22

  1. Farmers carries 230x2x50’, 330x3x50’
  2. Stone lifts both natural and atlas

The farmers handles are cool. Used them for suitcase deadlifts tonight. Back, knees and shoulders all felt good tonight.
