Feeling a bit tired today, but I'm still going to try and shoehorn in my 6x30 pushups this afternoon and cardiotarding tomorrow. My left scap has been really tight the last few days, and definitely affected my OHP; I would have done 137.5 but forgot my fractional plates. 80 lb rows were surprisingly smooth; I feel like I can keep going up for a bit on these even though I haven't done them any higher historically, so maybe all my vertical pulling has transferred at least a little bit.

Getting hit with a storm again so I get to work from home this afternoon. Thanks, Snowbama.

Hell yeah!!!! 1xBW Squats BABY. That's nuggetz territory you sexy pimp.

It does feel pretty good, I have to admit; now maybe you guys will stop making me the object of fun in this forum.

Only bc you have The Best Greatest Life Ever^TM

Was feeling really run down yesterday, but a bit better today. Shoveled snow for about 45 minutes after I got back from the gym too.

2/15

Chin Ladder (8 out of 10 reps in last set) = 53 in first ladder
LISS: 45 min at 4.0 = 2.98 miles
Chin Ladder (6 out of 10 reps in last set) = 51 in second ladder, 104 total (PR)
6x30 pushups

3 more sets of pushups to do today, but otherwise I'll have almost two full days off, so feelsgoodman.jpg. Pretty happy to get over 100 total pushups in the ladders, and feel like there's still room to grow. Scap feels slightly better, but still a little wonky, hopefully rolling and rest will help out.

100 is juicy. Always nice too to feel like you have room to grow.

100 push ups? Way to go Monte! Walking proof that age is just a number!

It's 180 pushups (daily) and (now)100+ chins 3x/wk; in your haste to troll me, you got some of the numbers wrong. Luckily the law is a profession that doesn't require a great deal of precision, so you're probably still fine.

When we get things wrong, we just talk our way out of it. It's what we do.

You typo'd your log entry

Dammit lol

JFC. 100 chins and 180 pushups? Might as well just quit now. **

The pushups are GTG sets performed throughout the day; on my cardio days I generally do a set right after each chin ladder and just fit them in throughout the afternoon/evening at work or home as the mood strikes. It's pretty rare that I do them with less than 15 minutes rest between sets, and 30 reps is a pretty decent bit below my max set for pushups (I think, anyway), so it's no big thing. It does add up to 1080 pushups a week, though, which is a nice little add on.

lol is that the stupid westside harness you're wearing? lol cha.

eta: @ yugo

I am wearing several magical items of workout equipment. I have the mighty scepter of forearm strength in my right hand. The steadfast calf sleeve of forever on my head. The crowbar of pain in my left hand. And am wearing the impenetrable harness of the West.

Great job with the chins & push ups, Monte!


Wanna see the original image, please, Yugo.

Dont forget the chains hanging from the harness.

KC - its a Getstrength harness

Seems like false advertising imo

Thanks for the props aura, slowly and surely. Luckily the nanny/minis just got me sick, so hopefully this one won't be too bad. Bleh.

What would you know about that?

Not a lot, but enough to know when others have obtained what I evidently lack. I hope to be marginally less weak by the end of this year, but whatever happens, a fakebusto approved^TM iron elf vest probably isn't going to be a part of it.

Sick burn though.

The full image is in my log quite a ways back. Cha posted it.

yeah, I went looking for it before I suggested it to you the other day and I couldnt find it.

Minis got me sick over the weekend; normally I'd take a few days off, but it's not terrible and I've missed too many days this winter. I noticed it with the squats, which were harder than they should have been, and with bench, where I was pissed I didn't get 13 (light touch on the bar with the last rep; probably could have gotten it up if I wasn't under the weather). Everything else was fine, though, and I'm glad I went -- did everything in about an hour so I kept the pace up.

Hopefully this doesn't linger too long, but I guess we'll see.
