What rowing machine do you use? I used to love rowing, I still think it’s the best form of cardio there is.
Have you tried Tabata on the rower? It’s a killer!!!
Time flies are what you get when you kill some and leave it lay about…
Joe the front raise part wasn’t bad, it was the travel to side that killed me. But it felt a little better at the end of the 3rd set. Maybe not so bad next time.
Brett, its a called a concept 2. I keep the setting on 6 out of 10.
Albino, sometime I feel like I’m the one left for dead.

Yeah, I think I’m going to be haunting your log quite a bit. We appear to be neck in neck here… well okay you’re pulling ahead of me and it PISSES ME OFF!!! Wow, I’m feeling all motivated here!

BSS’s felt a little better today. I drpoed the weight bt 5lbs and used fat gripz. Still focusing more on range of motion that weight.
Good work, you can keep those BSS though, I hate the bastards…

No kb this time used the rowing machine instead.
8min 1724m 20 push ups 3ish min rest
6min 1258m 20 push ups 3.5ish min rest
4min 871m 20 push ups 2ish min rest
2:27 517m 20 push ups done
The 2:27 was just to get to 500 meters. I had to keep stopping during the 4 and 2 min rounds to catch my breath. I will give this a go for a few weeks then get back to the bell
P.S does anyone else find the new way to get the forum as much of a pain in the ass as I do?

Yeah, no idea why they had to change a perfectly good system. I used to develop web sites and they’d kick my butt if I put in something they didn’t like.
That’s the problem with growing old. You start realizing many changes people make are for the worse instead of better. No idea why that is.
Me neither, Cavalier, me neither.
Joe, I understand your hatered of the split squat. But you also have to do the things yu dnt liek to get better. I need to start doing overhead squats. I have always been scared of them and I dont know why. But, that time is soon to be over.

Hey User
Nice work over the last year. BTW…what does the FG stand for?
Have you tried Skull Crushers with an EZ Curl bar? Thats the only way I have ever done them.
Thanks Embo, I was doing the with the ex-curl, I just tried something different. I think I am going to change this to a behind the head DB Press. FG stands for Fat Gripz.
That looks like a pretty decent gym.
Can’t say the same about the living quarters though.
But Brett, its cozy…

Grip started giving out on Hammers. Had to drop reps to keep form. And on Inverted Rows, is your chest supposed to touch the bar?

Only made it through one and half rounds. Got finished with my second set of snatches and I was done. Need to work on that. I will post times when I am more sure of my time. I think I am looking at my watch wrong.

Well after a couple of days of sloth, one needed, and some bad sleeping habbits; today just sucked. I could tell during my warmup that this wasn’t going to be my day. And I was right. I hit my numbers on the squat but no movement forward. I even bailed on the B.S.S’s and invverted rows. Just a bad day to be alifter today. Hopefully next week gets better.

user, I havn’t been at this long but I’ve already found that some of my best workouts follow some of my worst…Hope this is the case for you too.
Just caught up. Nice gym and palatial living quarters. Glad to see you’re sticking with it.
You know Embo, usually that’s right. That day it just wasn’t there. It happens. So I will use the same numbers from last cycle and work on depth.
Thanks HEL. The gym looks better in photos than real life. Everything is very crammed together. Good news is they are building a larger one just in front, and supposed to get new equipment. Maybe a real power rack even. And as far as the living quarters go… Yes, they are palatial.

Tates felt a little better. I am just going to have to get used to being lopsided. I know everyone is, but it messes with my sense of symetry. And my shirts don’t look right in the shoulders when I put them on. Really need to stop being petty…
