MJ, not quite sure what that means but its making me hungry.
Skid, now we sound like superheroes. Or is that supperheroes.
I had some downtime and hit the hospital gym for 25 pullups (5x5) and planks. I always forget theres a small gym in this place.
I’m bald but at 5’11" 184 I’m in no way muscular.
Hell of a 7 rep DL there Eco.

‘Mr.Rackpull 500 for reps’ isn’t muscular…I don’t think so Joe. You’re in too.

Well not really MM. One goes good on toast the other…
Just hit the gym for another 50 chins/pullups (75 total today) and a bunch of various kinds of pushups. I have to go to open house tonight at the kids school. This is making me feel better about not working out tonight.
A good challenge would be 1000 chinups,1500 pushups and 1000 step ups (each leg) in a week.
9/16
bench 225x5,260x5,295x7
I only had 10-15 minutes so I just did the money exercise. I was spent from all the push ups today.
nice work Eco
I used to be able to knock out 100 push ups straight…
I can still do 50, but I turn colors
holy crap, if you piece all of that together through out the day that is one nice training session. In my teens I ended up with the very unique position of having a complete hardcore gym, equipment wise, in my basement. Long story.
Of course, the overzealous teenager, I would do things like squat at 10 a.m., go hang out with friends and they would want to bench, so do that at 3 p.m., then sit and read Flex and end up doing a full lat and bicep workout at 10 p.m. Those were the days.

Hey - with enough milk - anything is possible. Doug Hepburn used to - and Justa does - take long breaks between movements. You come in nearly fresh on the 2nd and third lifts.

KMC, 100 pushups straight is nuts. I maybe could get 50 on a good day(more likely 40-45).
Pete,youth is a wonderful thing. Didn’t even know we had it so good.
Skid, gallons of mild seems to be the cure for those wanting to get big and strong. Going to be a staple in my diet when I get back into training for a meet.
MJ, Hel could play Santa. I want to be Yukon Cornelius.
I’ve been trying to better use my downtime at work. I just did a short (bodyweight) glutes,pushups,and pullups workout. I have a light afternoon and will probably do it again and maybe some stretching.
9/18
power clean 135x5,155x5,175x10
squat 315x5,355x5,405x5
front squat 225 5x5
1.calf raise 3x30 seconds
2.ab rollout 135x10,5,6
Today was my first time ever squatting without back pain. My knee also felt good. I was hitting the safety pins at the bottom of my squat. Never done that before either. So I’m not happy that my squat weights are dropping but pumped I was pain free and got deeper into my squat.
weight 262
Congrats, eco! Pain free and deep is excellent! The heavy weights will come back soon!
Thanks MCL. I’ve accepted that the weights are going to drop as I diet. But I’m still going to train as heavy as I can.
Eco Nice work on the squats!!!
next 500 for depth
I have not done those kinds of pushups in years- I was a skinnier midget then
MJ awesome referece!!!
Great work my brother! Fight every workout to keep your weights the same. You should be able to maintain a large percentage of your admirable strength.
Thanks guys.My legs are aching this morning. I had to pop two tylenol last night because the knees were keeping me awake. I don’t think I can pull the sled today. I’ll have to swing the sledge hammer.
Eco… just caught up from the last 4 pages… awesome training buddy. You are missing the Canadian content to your superhero team… Wolverine is already taken… settle for a bunny with rabies and a bad attitude?
Absolutely! Welcome aboard.
