Workouts!

[Krosigrim]

 

Who's this asshole with the self shot? 213 lbs, was 222. 13 inch forearms ~16 inch calves

I was sure to use the shot where I didnt look so bad

 

You gotta be careful while working forearms and hands. I mixed it up with dexterity and flexibility training to keep from inflaming. Proper stretching before during and after is necessary as alot of people get tennis elbow. The only way to prevent or diminish this is to work EVERYTHING from every angle. Before and after brick. Fingers out like a flick and in like a tight clench. Open and close the hands as quick as possible so not hard (grip) light rapid open/close/etc palms up 20 palms down 20 etc. Twisting things like a towl. Stretch. Pushups. Make large and small circles with the wrist while holding a stick. Mimic Kung foo moves. check. Go back to brick all angles modify movements as not overwork any one area. Work delts, shoulders, triceps, modify often to build great general strength and tightness. Stretch. Shadow box. Pushups. stretch repeat randomly

One more month Will and you will be flying mate - Keep it up!

Makes me wanna work harder!

Dude i've been lazy. I gotta burn some fat today. Other 2 days rained and so I did moderate training, forearms, pushups etc. but no cardio. Yesterday I had a road trip to NY and was mostly in a car for 19 hrs.

 

At a reststop I went to wash my hands and forgot Im looking different lol. Im still not used to looking (this) fit. Dude I might be a douche for posting a self shot but you guys just dont know what I looked like almost 2 weeks before that!

 

Alright time to stretch and get in the starting set, pushups, high knees, squats that sort of thing.

Instead of completely hijacking this thread I made a blog. Alpha will approve.

Just blasted out 60 push ups off the stairs - it felt good not to grind my shoulder!

What id really like to do now is go on a mountain bike ride round the local park plenty of long hills and call it my cardio for the day.

[Krosigrim]

Sweet dude! All at once? Yea Im increasing but normal or incline pushups end at 20, short rest and I can do again. 45 degree counter pushups over 30 and I stop because I do multiple sets throughout the night. But yea my shoulder doesnt grind anymore either! Were where we need to be to step it up then! Glad to hear it.

[Krosigrim]

Went to the park did that... Worked the brick some too. 200 both-hand curls with that brick, plus my regular routine. Did some sitting leg lifts and worked the calves too. Little little steps.

[Krosigrim]

All this progress and I still cant do more than 2 pull ups... LOL I am blasting out some negatives. I need to do this all day every day for weeks just to be anywhere. Dude its hard as hell to pull up 210 lbs

How are you doing your pull ups?

I can do ten. Are you spreading your arms as you do them or do you bring the palms of your hands to your face and hold the bar?

[Krosigrim]

Always palms out but with hands just outside shoulder width. Not wider.

[emsley]

Put them to the middle and SLOWLY inch by inch move them apart, those types of pull up you are trying to do are hardcore.

I do quite a few sets of 60 push ups every day if I can. Swimming at least 3 times a week too.

 

Oh and 5 a side soccer once a week, nearly forgot that lol

Really? Ill bring my grip in and try it out at work tonight.

 

Sets of 60? Thats impressive. Soccer is pretty intense, always moving. Pretty good stuff

Army tough!

[Krosigrim]

I have to say... your fucking badass!!!

 

I passed a landmark yesterday. Im quite excited. So far my cardio... heart cannot keep up with certain things so I usually push in waves. Well I was jogging and my cardio was fine... my muscles began to hurt a bit as they are not used to extended joggs! Now I am at the place where I can do stuff I just gotta push through the pain and build even further.

 

Im way lighter on my feet even though I still feel heavy. Knees hurt from strain sometimes so I take it easy.

 

Basically im still doing the same stuff, but with more frequency and longer sets. Havent fallen into a true regimen
