i have been using the olympic bar( in the squat rack, just to piss people off).
i might go back to the forza rack, your hands are by your sides, and you get a little better movement with it.

front squats
135-10
155-8
155-8

tri set
leg curl, hs calf raises,leg ext

i feel sorry for the person using these machines after i get off, i am usually sweating like a gazhole, chasing his sheep after a mma workout.(ooopppsss, did i say that). but then agian, katt is the next one to use the machines,

well i have the day off from work, and since my legs didnt get enough of a workout, i am going to go to the mountians today, and do some hiking and maybe some snowshoeing, if the snow is to deep.

everybody have a great weekend. ill be working. shit.

i love the outdoors, and its been such a long winter, i ve been dying to get out. i like to go out and look for shed antlers from the deer, elk and moose.
but the snow is still to deep and the weather was crappy. so, i only walked for about an hour or so, with just about 10 min. of snowshoeing. better than nothing i guess.

katt makes me do them.
they really arent that bad, because when u get fininshed they all hurt so much that you walk normal.

hey big guy. unfortunately i have to work almost all weekends. but i have been doing that for 23 years, so im pretty much used to it. the hike went well, just shorter than i wanted.
but still nice to get out.

i like to think that also, but i always have a big mind blank when it comes to doing new/different exercises for tri's. like most everyone in here, doing the skull crushers just fucks with my elbow to much. what is your fav tri exercise, that you feel you have gotten the most from?

If I may jump in here, my favorite tri exercise is the close grip floor press. By close grip, I mean index fingers about 12-15 inches apart. Hands down will do wonders for your tris.

Of course, they are not a very common exercise, have you heard of them and do you guys know how to do them?

bw pullups
8/5/4
someday i will get 3x8 and then i will start the weighted pullups

one arm rows
90-10
95-10
100-10

rack pulls
295-6
315-6
335-6

db hammer curl
40-10
45-10
47.5-9
these felt pretty good today, even though i had to do a five pound jump and that would have been my finishing weight.

one arm preacher curls
35-10
37.5-r/8 l/10
40-r/7 l/8

then cardio after work.
1 hour on the stair climber, burned 790 calories.
