Ordering the ‘Convict Conditioning’ bood today. Anyone read or heard anything about it?
Great looking workouts, Steve.
Squatting looks good, never heard of the book but I’m interested to hear what you think.
How’d I miss this log, it’s full of win. Awesome lifts!

The only thing I’ve heard about convict training is always do your toe touches with your back to the wall!
I looked the book up, it looks good. Not sure just anyone could build up to 50 pistols or 5 one arm chins though.
Skip,just trying to catch your MP numbers.
Joe,I’m squatting so often I feel like I’m getting a good groove. I hope the book has some good stuff. Going to start reading it after I log off.
Dday,thanks for your positive comments. Always helps to motivate me.
Brett,how do you know about the toe touches?? What about dropping the soap in the shower??
nice work and great training.
I suspent this book is good- and I also suspect it has lots of burpees

Ha ha… I still contend that you are trying to pull a fast one on bulldog and me. You are just waiting for one of us to hit 290# and then you are going to post your video.
FIFTY pistols? I can do five!
Kevin,surprisingly no burpees. Pushups,pullups,handstand press,pistols,hanging leg raises and bridges. I like the workout part in the book. The rest I skimmed very quickly through.
Skip, I’ve already MP 350 lbs. I just don’t want to make you feel bad.
Canada_K, have you read the book?? I skimmed over it last night. I’d like to incorporate some of the material into my workouts.
I haven’t deloaded for a bit. Gonna do BW only stuff from the ‘Convict Conditioning’ book over the next week.
Steve, if you have MP’d 350#, I will in no way feel bad. I will just be very impressed and damned proud to know you. Okay, I already am the 2nd part of that.
Thanks Skip. You’re a good guy.
5/13 BW stuff
pushups
squats
chin ups
This was a much needed rest from heavy squats. Yard work tomorrow.My wife had rocks delived today. Truck got stuck in the yard and had to dump the load quite a ways from where we wanted. Wheelbarrow central tomorrow.
I had a stone lifters dream on Saturday. My wife decided she wanted a raised garden type area partially surronded with big rocks. So I proceeded to collect 200+ lb rocks from around the yard. Several of these stones have to be 500+ lbs. I’ll get some pictures to post.
I looked at the ads for the book and the BW stuff itself looked sound but there was a lot of “this is bad” stuff about lifting that seemed full of shit.

I think you had them dropped there deliberately, just so you could carry them all!!
How are you moving the 500 lb ones?, rolling them into a wheelbarrow?
Joe,I’m just picking the stuff I like and ignoring the rest. I skipped all the prison stories/weight lifting bashing and got right to the workouts.
Brett, the big stones we rolled or got them into the wheelbarrow. Fun stuff.

Tried to do a little weight lifting and some BW exercises.
I was planning on squats and bench tonight but my wife had a surprise 4 tons of granite rocks delivered ranging from 18’’ to 3 feet in length. I’ll have to carry them about 100 feet. The driver asked my wife how we planned on moving the rocks. When she said by hand. I guess he laughed.
