You’ready for weighted pullups. Even if only 10 lbs, for a week.
You are doing to talk me into it. Again…
Last night I ordered a weighed best and two 20-pound plates for the vest from Rogue. I’m excited to take things to the next level.

You’ll be ordering more plates for it soon. You’ll notice the effect weighted pullups will have on your other lifts.

I was out of town for a couple of days for a conference. It was a nice break. I was in need of a deload today, but I still got a lot done. I added five pounds to my pull-ups today. It took me two sets to crank out 20.

Juarez Valley pushups are no joke. Smart to start with 10

Good start for weighted pullups.

I think I stole them from you when you. The first time I did them was 20 from the floor. My shoulders killed me the following week. This the second time I have done 10 from the benches. It’s a great pump.

My change in DL stance continues. I feel much more powerful. I can’t recall when I purchased 5/3/1, but it has to be at least 10 years ago. Per my spreadsheet, 7 reps at 3/3/3 are a PR. Of course there are a lot of factors that go into that, but I think it is a good indication the change is working.

I got a super-fast one done in the garage. I was slammed up between two appointments and no other time to workout.

The plates arrived yesterday and the vest today. Of course it rains on Weighed Walk Wednesday, but I was not going to pass this up. Due to the rain, and meeting later tonight, I left some in the tank. I can tell you the extra 40 pounds makes a difference.

I had more, but the wife and I are heading out of town to meet my cousin and her husband for lunch. We’re off to Vegas again on Friday, so I was pleased to get a good one in, with a week off coming up.

I left the gym and went home for the vest and stepper work. The final couple minutes and the back side of the squats burned.
Tuesday my buddy is coming over for our 5th annual weighted walk and strongman night. I think my son is coming over, if he can get off work in time.

My friend and I had our 5th annual strongman night. My son joined us. I made fun of them both when neither could lift the sandbag.

My son did wrestle with it and walked about 10 feet. I had to point out, he still can’t keep up with the old man.

Now for some lawn mowing. Just two more days until Vegas. I figure tomorrow I’ll properly pump up the gunz.
