No doubt! I still am. I like rough carpentry, hate finish carpentry. Just don't have the patience for it and I have a short fuse when I mess up.

I hate all kinds of carpentry. Me and hammers just don't get along. Give me a wrench over a hammer any day of the week.

Activities for Today: Well, I have a 9:30 a.m. apt. tomorrow in Rochester, IN. There is a blizzard outside. So, my intention was to drive to Rochester (250 miles) tonight and stay in a hotel so I can be on time for my meeting. So, I worked out this evening, met my wife and kid for dinner and went to his Christmas Open House at school. Left there at 7:30 and made it to here before I couldn't stand going 40 miles an hour on the highway, not being able to see and roasting my butt off jamming the defrost to keep the windshield from freezing. Made it 150 miles, 100 to go in the morning.

Cardio: None

Weights: Upper Body - Pull Dominant

Assisted Pullups: -70# - 8, 8, 8 + 3 BW Negatives

Single Arm Bent DB Rows: 45# - 8, 8, 8
Superset With
Upright BB Rows: 65# - 8, 6, 5

Lat Pull Downs: 112.5# - 8, 8, 7.5

HS Iso High Rows: 140# - 7; 120# - 8, 8 (no snickering, Emma)
HS Iso Rows: 120# - 8, 8, 8

DB Shrugs: 60# - 8, 8, 8

Notes: Time to drop some pounds off the assisted pullups (I'm going to get to bw sets if it kills me). Upright BB Rows lost some reps, maybe because of superset with db rows. Lat Pull Downs, just can't seem to get that last rep. Going to up weight next time and build reps again. Need more weight on DB Shrugs.

Diet:

Meal 1: 2 cups Chicken, Veggie, Pasta concoction

Meal 2: 1/2 Greek Chicken Salad with grilled veggie side dish

Meal 3: Bananna/blueberry MR Bar

Meal 4: 1/2 Greek Chicken Salad with grilled veggie side dish

Meal 5: Shake - 6 oz. skim milk, scoop protein whey, 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup blueberries (forgot NPB when I mixed shakes before leaving)

Supplements: 6 fish oil pills, multi-v

**CowPimp** · 12-08-2005, 10:31 PM

Way to pull around those weights sir. You will be doing pullups in no time.

Pylon · 12-09-2005, 08:13 AM

How far apart are your hands on the pull ups? I noticed a comment from Pimp somewhere about wide grips pulls, and I think I may be spacing too far...

Triple Threat · 12-09-2005, 10:59 AM

I use just a little wider than shoulder width, like how a referee would signal a touchdown.

Burner02 · 12-09-2005, 11:06 AM

yep! the PU's are getting there!
I always go WIDE on my pull ups...vary the width though on different sets. from shoulder width to really wide..

I'd have hated that drive, brotha! U have much patience....

yellowmoomba · 12-09-2005, 11:42 AM

I'd go with wide pullups

... with your hands at least 3-4 feet apart.

b_reed23 · 12-09-2005, 02:26 PM

3-4 feet apart?? YIKES!

Burner02 · 12-09-2005, 02:46 PM

yep! vary the width to find our 'sweet spot'..mine is a little further than shoulder width..but Ialso vary up for something new..

That's me right there. I'm weak enough in that position, not going wider until I can get these down. Thanks for the comments everyone. You did notice the offset weight, right?

I kind of like the challenge of beating them. It's pretty cut and dry. You either can do one more or you can't. You'd have been proud of me yesterday, Archie. I was in a hurry to get to my kids Christmas open house, so I did a Pseudo Archman HIT routine and blew through everything pretty quick.

Well, I only got a little over half way there, but it beat getting up at 4 a.m. to do it. Oh, damn. I could have called Archie and chatted with him. He's always up at 4.

Devlin · 12-09-2005, 06:56 PM

Nice workout. Glad you made it as far as you did safely.

Thanks, Arch. You are a great inspiration! However, you need to use the term HIT loosely with that workout.
