A new journal (Heavy/Medium/Other)

[yellowmoomba]

Now we've got a double threat and a triple threat on IM

That's awesome news on the new addition! There is nothing like it. I'm real happy for you and wish you and your wife the best

Thanks BM....I appreciate it

Just a side note ym, Since breaking my hand a month ago I've been reduced to cardio and legs (machines only). I've incorporated doing 100 jump ropes in between all sets and must say I really like it. The 1st few times I tried this I was sweating like a pig, and thought you were crazy but loved the after effect (walking out of gym knowing I had a good w/o). After a few w/o's I've started looking foward to jumping ropes and getting the heart beat up. Thanks for the idea

I nominate this as understatement of the year. Perhaps you should be rethinking that decision to hang up the cleats.

CHEST/BACK

Weighted Chins
bw +115 x 1 *
bw +115 x 1
bw +90 x 3
bw +45 x 11

I just saw this....WTF man?!?!?!? That's just sick, utterly sickening

Was that overhand grip or underhand? I only ask cause some people use "chins" to represent overhand grip, even though I assume that chinup is underhand, pullup is overhand.

I miss chinups...I gotta work out at home now, and the lat pulldown just doesn't do the trick....anyone have any tips on making a homeade chinup bar in a basement????

Amazing work on the chins dude

 

[yellowmoomba]

I appreciate being called a "sicko"......

Awesome w/o, the double superset is just sick though

... I figured I'd 'kick it up a notch' by doing a double.

OMG !!!!!!!!! WTF is wrong with you YM !!!?????

I'm always trying something new in the gym.

Yes - they were underhand. I do pullups too but I've been focusing on Chins for the past three to four weeks.

I had my dad weld two brackets onto a solid straight bar. I hung it in my garage. I used it over the summer quite a bit.

They have "door hung" chinup bars you can buy for something like $50....do a google search.

Thanks for stopping by.....

I know what you are referring to....I only question if those things would hold when you start adding weight to your chinups. With my luck I would rip the door frame down doing them, lol

Good lookin w/o BRother YM!!! I was lookin at your split in the training section, the one with the 2 uppers and 2 lowers, on a M/T/Th/F split, and was wondering what you thought about doin that with a HIT protocol???

That would be a great idea! I really liked the spilt when I did it

 

[King Silverback]

Just thinking about HITtin each bp 2x a week, but I know when I have tried back to back days on HIT in the past, I have really felt worn down and overtrained rather quick!!! THinking hard about it, but nervous as I'm only like 15 weeks out from my comp. So leary about changing, ya know???

Your current workouts look great to me....Why don't you give it a shot AFTER your comp???? Just a thought.

 

[gwcaton]

Nice wo YM !

I had to look twice to be sure whose journal I was in since there wasn't any jump rope involved in this wo, or 25 rep squats or something like that

Words Of Wisdom my Friend, You got it!!!

 

[CowPimp]

Good workout lately YM. I like how you throw in jump roping in the middle of it. You must be in some pretty damned good shape to pull off some of those feats.

Oh yeah, and congratulations on the bun in the oven. If you it's tough for you to find time for football now, then it'll really be tough when the young one arrives!

 

[boilermaker]

If you it's tough for you to find time for football now, then it'll really be tough when the young one arrives!

That's for sure. Maybe since YM is new to the baby thing we should help him out with things he should do/enjoy before the little one arrives.

I'll start with enjoying eating out at a restaraunt with your wife. Once the little one comes along, this becomes a totally different experience. You have to become a great multitasker where you eat with one hand, feed the baby with the other, keep him occupied between ordering and when the meal arrives, pay some attention to your worn out wife who just wanted to get out of the house for a change, and generally try to avoid the haunting experience of "public baby tantrum". So next time you are out to eat, savor and enjoy the calm, relaxed atmosphere.

I'm sure you'll do great!

I'm in 'all-right' shape....I just like to try new things.

I know what you mean about not having time......I already have my "honey-do" list started for baby stuff .... but it's ALL GOOD.
