Hills on 'mill - 30mins
PCH - 32 reps

I found a way to do chins without making my elbows act up. On the cable crossover apperatus, instead of doing chins with all the grips facing me, I turn around and do them with the grips facing away from me. For whatever reason it works!!! So, 100 reps in a day, here I come!!!

My summer schedule of classes are as follows - Wireless Networking I and II and MS Server. If anyone has any imput, I’m listening.

End of year goals:
Incline Press - 315; Current 285
Box Squat - 365; Current 305
Sumo Pull - Not sure yet, issues with back; Current 335
Standing Mil - 255; Current 240
Body Comp - A little less sloppy; Current A little sloppy (Although I’ve dropped 13lbs since Jan1, 2011)

Some are realistic, some are a little lofty. However, I’m working towards them all.

The bells at my gym only go up to 110 with no 105 in between so I’m gonna work up to 5 sets of 15 at 100 then move up to 110 and start over at 7 reps and work those up to 15. Hopefully, by then, I can talk the owner into getting some more bells, like to 150+. PCH is Pushups, Chins (full extension) and Hindu Squats (I dislike lunges)[/quote]

I’ve used the curl bar for db rows. You can load that as heavy as you like and it’s harder than dumbbells. You may make a squat rack curler cry, though.

done 'em in a smith…

^^^Both good ideas. I’ll have to give em a try.

Lofty goals are the best kind.
