i was thinking...very short, and very heavy sled trips. ME if you will. be great for the hamstrings...

I dont have a sled...and I am not building one coz then I have to buy plates and stuff....so nevermind that. I'll invest in all this once I know wheere I am living after I graduate, dude. Still a year to go

But, the idea of ME work on sleds sounds refreshing.....hmm...very interesting, actually. You could do it both for time and for distance and if you're mathematically inclined you could do it for speed too. Lots of ways to measure progress. Damn interesting if you ask me.

Good point, Pity.

Beginning Thoughts:

No thoughts after yesterday's disastrous workout.

Workout:

Incline Bench Press:
185 lbs x 3 reps
195 lbs x 3 reps
205 lbs x 3 reps
215 lbs x FAIL
205 lbs x 2 reps
225 lbs x 1 rep
205 lbs x 2 reps
LOL @ failing at 215 and then nailing 225....I think this was better than my Deadlift workout. Pretty pathetic.

Chest Supported Rows:
90 lbs x 8 reps x 1 set
135 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets
160 lbs x 5 reps x 2 sets
180 lbs x 3 reps x 1 set
135 lbs x 8 reps x 1 set

Banded Push-ups:
Red Band x 10 reps x 2 sets
Red Band x 5 reps x 1 set
I just could not go over 5 reps on set #2.

Banded Shrugs:
Red Band x 15 reps x 3 sets
These were super-setted with Banded Push-ups.

Banded Kelso Shrugs:
Red Band x 12 reps x 3 sets

Banded Hammer Curls:
White Band x 10 reps x 3 sets

Pulley Push-downs:
30 kgs x 8 reps x 3 sets

Videos:

Nothing special about today.

Overall Impression:

Decent session. Should've done some ab work. Next time.

It's fine if you don't want to use a belt. But if you do, then your DL will go up. You're strong enough at this point for it to make a difference.

Hmm....I don't have a belt here right now...In the sense I have one but it smells terrible and I don't want to use it so for now I won't be wearing one. When I get back to Trinity I'll see.....Belts usually trouble me because they don't allow me to bend as much as I want to. Maybe I just need getting used to.

Beginning Thoughts:

Finally made my own dip belt....tested it out today. The Dip Belt must be weighing in at 5 lbs at the very least.

Workout:

Pistol Squats:
2 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 15 reps
Good stuff.

Pull-ups:
BW x 5 reps x 1 set
BW + 10 lbs x 5 reps x 2 sets
BW + 20 lbs x 2 reps x 10 sets @ 7 minute time limit
BW + 30 lbs x 1 rep x 5 sets @ 3 minute time limit
BW + 45 lbs x fail
BW x 6 reps x 1 set
BW x 4 reps x 1 set
Total Reps = 50
Decent stuff. The Dip Belt takes time to get used to...And I didn't rest enough. I should've taken 5-6 minutes where I took only 2 or at the most 3.

Unilateral Lat Pulldowns:
35 kgs x 6 reps
40 kgs x 5 reps
45 kgs x 3 reps
50 kgs x 2 reps
This is hard.

Overhead Plate Side Bends:
25 lbs x 8 reps
10 lbs x 15 reps
25 lbs x 10 reps

Cable Wood Chops:
15 kgs x 12 reps x 3 sets

Videos:

Trust me to forget my camera on a crucial day like today....How dumb!

Overall Impression:

I hope everyone's having a good week. I apologize if I've been grumpy in the last few days.....Bad Deadlift days piss me off to no end and kinda ruin my whole week such that I cannot see the bright side of anything (like for example how I absolutely nailed those Pistols today) but I am working on this and trying to be more positive in life.

In other news, MJ is dead. I read this on Lyle's forum and think it's fucking hilarious to no end: "MJ is the first human in history to be born a black man and die a white woman." Maybe it's too soon but I think thats a hilarious comment.

Beginning Thoughts:

I went in to workout with my training partner Kanishk. Kanishk is returning to the gym after a year of living in the kitchen.

Workout:

Overhead Squats:
25 lbs x 3 reps
45 lbs x 3 reps
75 lbs x 3 reps
95 lbs x 3 reps
115 lbs x 2 reps
135 lbs x 2 reps
155 lbs x 1 rep
175 lbs x 1 rep
A new high on that set with 175. Pretty happy about nailing that.

Conditioning Circuit done 4 times:
Spiderman Walks = BW x 10 reps
Dumbbell Windmills = 14 kgs x 7 reps
Supine Glute Ham Raises = BW x 10 reps
Front Planks = BW x 30 seconds
This was good fun. I got the fourth circuit on video...

Overall Impression:

I saw Terminator 4 tonight. Awesome movie. I dunno why people didn't like it though....I do think Christian Bale can't act for shit..I liked the role of Marcus much more.

Have a good weekend, y'all!!!

Hey dude I tried to reply to this at GUS but I got that error message again.Wont let me post.

Regarding banded deadlifts, if you dont have a platform you can simply loop the band over one end of the bar, feed it over the top of the plate and then over the other side the same way, then you simply roll the bar over and stand on the band(s). Works awesome and band tension kicks in as soon as you pull on the bar just like a platform deadlift.I got a vid of me doing them but I aint uploaded it, I can do if ya wanna see.

Badass inclines there too.Good job Anuj.

Hey Hopper, I replied to your post on GUS but here is the response:

Dude, thats a good description of how you go about it. I might do that if my platform doesn't come in by tomorrow. I wonder if the tension of a double looped band will hold though. Let's see.

Thanks for the suggestion, Hopper.
