Back on the hard conditioning tonight. I really have to stop watching Brian Alsruhe videos and reading @T3hPwnisher @kleinhound and @SvenG I really hate this stuff.
15 mins as many round as possible.
55 KG slam ball
4 In and outs (squat thrusts) with hands on the ball
2 over shoulder (one each side)
Managed 22 rounds and felt sick !!
Forearms were looking great after …… not
Video of me making myself feel sick
Had to watch to figure out what a squat thrust is. Great session!
Is there a different name for it ??? I think that is what we called it in the Uk when I was at school. Lol
No idea, never seen it before!
Yes its a squat thrust. In the old days done in a pressup position, no med ball.
Do you remember the old programme Superstars, the gym test were dips and squat thrusts.
I certainly do mate I used to love that show. Just hearing you say that made me want to do some dips. Lol
Had a feeling that the red Cerberus sandbag I just picked to was a little light. Guy said it was 70-80 and I want it to be 80.
Weighed it and yes it was light
So I added some more sand and now it is just over 80KG. Perfect
Weighted the monster Dumbell and it weighs 28kg unloaded.
Got some new HCP collagen protein. Iced coffee flavour which will go nice with my eggs for breakfast.
Also decided to start taking creatine again. I have taken it for more than 4 years so it will be interesting to see what impact it has on my training (if any.
Dips, feast your eyes on this memory of Brian Jacks.
