thanks

it didn't seem to do significant internal damage. Some bruising on the outer muscle and spine maybe. Don't have that much fat to make a cushy fall so either I got lucky or somehow my reflexes or build have done me some non-cosmetic and functional good. heh heh.

10 deadlifts at 225 lb

Awesome. I didn't know your injury prevented you from playing. If so, glad that is finally fixed up.

---

I didnt participate in your 'challange'  post, but I think i'm going to set some workout goals. I finally am able to hit the power cleans with two 45 plates (135 lbs). I'm going to try to work up my overhead press to the same weight so I can do a fast circuit of deadlifts (2:45s or 225lb), then take off the two plates and do cleans, press, thursters, front squat..finishing with pullups or something. all in the same setup with around 10-15 reps or so. When I can do that...i'll have my first workout video 


the real challenge will be press. seems to be a difficult exercise to get much gains on. even just that extra 20 lbs...

[SkinnyDevil]

Awesome. I didn't know your injury prevented you from playing. If so, glad that is finally fixed up.

No, no - it didn't stop me from playing guitar, it stopped me from hitting my punching bag. I'd be in real trouble if I couldn't play guitar (other than music, I'm not qualified to do much).

Waiting on the vid!!!!

Thursday:

3 sets Total Gym
200 push-ups
200 sit-ups
200 squats

About 40 minutes total...no breaks at all.

Hi,
My workout is usually pretty much the same every time.

50 pushups
max pullups (14)
max handstand pushups (5)
1 minute rest
max pullups (12)
max handstand pushups (4)

30 situps
30 twisting crunches (30 each side)
30 side bends (30 each side)

Lots of running

Wrist is a bit buggered right now so no handstand pushups right now. I'm keen to start trying a lot of variations of exercises over the next while.
SkinnyDevil, whats your max pullups when rested? My current goal is 20.

Cheers

[SkinnyDevil]

Rockin' work-out, man!

SkinnyDevil, whats your max pullups when rested? My current goal is 20.

Tops for me is 41 pulls and 40 chins. But that was a few years back (I tried to do 44 on my 44th birthday, but not only fell short a few chins, but my form was pretty dismal).

My form is cleaned up quite a bit, but the most I've done this year in a single stretch is about 25 during a face-to-face pull-up challenge.

Nice!
I always go down til my arms are straight and then put my chin over at the top.
Have you tried the handstand pushup? I can't balance (yet) so I just kick up against a wall...
