Weird, but impressive

Chest day, picked up a barbell again for the first time in weeks but just as a warmup. Went unweighted on the dips, need to start figuring out what the hell is causing my shoulder problem. Still, did a million dips, it never got particularly hard.

Changing log title, a nod to @Koestrizer if he remembers it.

At some point soon I need to do a little write-up in regards to this basically full shift to doing only bodyweight movements, calesthenics or whatever the fuck we call them. Never really went all-in on it, even though I have an obvious knack for it. The result surprise me a bit.

I felt it was appropriate for myself as well. And probably a bunch of people around here.

Limited time today, so just did a bunch of pullups, nothing special. Felt like I should have had more in me, but 15 got tough.

A bit of an above average day, jumping and a bit of shoulders. Did not go crazy with reps on the HSPUs due to my annoying shoulder issue, but did set a PR just for giggles. Topsets on the box jumps also were both tying PRs, so that makes it a pretty good session.

Oh, did a bunch of unweighted Bulgarians at the end with a bit of jump at the top of the rep…um, ouch on the quads.

Muscle-up day. Which I guess is now a thing. Honestly, it is paying off in a lot of ways, so why not. No absolute PRs, but easily the best day I have ever had doing this.

Titties work yesterday, and it was pretty good. Did decent work on the barbell for reps, and then set a dip PR for reps.

Very basic jump day, no repping today. Tried to do three reps at 48.5 inches, but only managed to do about 2 and a half. Did a lot of good pullups as a superset. I feel like my body weighs nothing.

Is this ab machine in front of the abductor machine or something :wink:

I see where you are going with this, but it was either the ab machine or that weird thing people do where they put a pulldown cable behind their necks, get down on their knees and perform that forward bending motion. Like they are working on their blow job muscles.

Today was weird, without the impressive part. Feel fine, even rested. But zero pop on my jumps, feels like I regressed a few weeks. Oh well.

The Bulgarians are unweighted…I go super deep and then jump a little at the end. Tore me up good last time. Is just to work on more explosiveness.

Mostly not a good day, because my shoulder is just fucking killing me. On the other hand, I did set a Muscle Up PR. Took a lot out of me.

Did it a little different today, went back to visit the decline. Surprised I got a rep at 130 with relative ease, not bad at this body weight and being so out of practice. My upper body strength is holding well through the bodyweight movements.

Couple days off due to work stuff, and then a short one today with some jump. Not happy with how it played out, but made rep PRs on a couple things. Was just a little sloppy.
