Weird, but impressive

Lockdown Day 33. Still no abs.

Didn’t count anything today, because I did not see the purpose. Was a bunch of easy pullup sets focusing on some mind-muscle connection and going slow. Lots of curls. Finished off with 60 reps at 15kilo, and can attest that it still hurt plenty, but I notice it was more in the grip itself, as the lactic buildup in the biceps did begin to even out as a certain someone mentioned.

Added a bunch of easy crunches, and some standing ab wheel rollouts. Man those suck when I haven’t done them for a while.

Finished off with a few easy rounds with Bob. Felt arm weary, so stopped a bit early.

Lockdown Day 35. Still no abs.

Off day yesterday. Leg day today, just a bunch of Bulgarians, yay.

Dumbbell Bulgarian Split Squat

  • 2 kg x 6 reps
  • 6 kg x 6 reps
  • 12 kg x 6 reps
  • 16 kg x 6 reps
  • 20 kg x 6 reps
  • 24 kg x 6 reps
  • 32 kg x 6 reps
  • 36 kg x 6 reps (PR)
  • 22 kg x 10 reps
  • 2 kg x 10 reps

A PR by virtue of never having attempted it at that weight. The DB starts to get awkward at this weight, can probably go over to BB now that I have the balance figured out again.

Also a bunch of Bob.

I feel like you should be able to do them one handed by now…

2610

You’re talking about HSPUs, right? I agree.

2611

Yes hspu, definitely need a video of the attempts as well.

2612

I’ve tried- 100% not recommended :joy:

I am pretty sure that even if I were strong enough - which I am not remotely close to being - the balance would be a serious problem.

Pretty sure, or very sure?

Let’s be honest there’s only one way to find out! (And it needs to be videoed)

I fear he’s actually going to do it, proclaim anyone can, which will trigger me to try it again. My cervical spine has been sprained twice so far in the past… (which wasn’t @Cyrrex fault)

Haha, keep trying bro I believe in you! (And greatly enjoyed your two handed attempts - although that’s completely unrelated, obviously).

I think it’s easier with one hand.

It was two years ago.

Definitely easier with one hand. Don’t forget the video.

You two go first @anna_5588 @Cyrrex. My neck has been through a lot so I need to pick my battles.

Lockdown Day 38. Still no abs.

Two days off in a row…Saturday intentionally, Sunday because I ran out of time. Shoulder Day today. With all the talk of HSPUs, I just did that today. Although with two arms, I’m afraid. Supplemented with a bunch of rear delt db flyes and raises.

Handstand Push-Up

  • 5 reps
  • 6 reps
  • 7 reps
  • 8 reps
  • 9 reps
  • 10 reps
  • 10 reps
  • 10 reps
  • 10 reps
  • 10 reps
  • 10 reps
  • 5 reps

Kinda balls. Every set at 10 reps was too hard. Probably got a few more weeks of lockdown to work on them.

5 rounds of Bob on top of it.
