Currently doing bodyweight circuits and weighted circuits of the following exercises: 1. Chinups (sets of 16) 2. HSPU (sets of 33) 3. Reverse Rows (sets of 33---I put a bar on my squat rack, my heels on a bench, and row myself up to it) 4. Regular Pushups (sets of 33) 5. Crossleg Crunches (sets of 33 with a 25lb plate) 6. Hyperextensions (sets of 33) 7. One-legged calf raise (sets of 33 with a 25lb plate) 8. V-crunches (sets of 33 with a 25lb plate) I do 5 sets of these throughout the day, 3-4 times a week. In addition, I weight train a couple of times a week. Currently I am pushpressing 225lbs over my head for sets of 4 reps and squatting 335lbs for 6 reps, going nice and low. I do other exercises as well, but I'm trying to iron out my symmetry, and these are the minimum weekly basics.
I did, however, pull something near my right collarbone. I would do more regular weightlifting, but having a toddler keeps me pretty occupied. I do near daily woodchopping however, and that's a nice stress release after work.
i knew Mike and Buddy would be here... i been really upping my bodyweight training.. i'm stronger than FUCK
I do 6 hours a day of cardio and 3 hours of weight training. I also run to work which is 12 km and run back which is another 12 km. I live in a downtown condominium and it's 91 floors. I take the stairs.
Actually not with the bodyweight stuff. It's only weight-training that gives me significant muscle pulls. I pulled my right upper pec muscle when I did a slow negative after I pressed the 225 for reps. I did a negative rep of 5 seconds and that was apparently too long. Particularly after I had locked out for 10 seconds or so. You see, I started off by doing one rep of each exercise, 5 times a day everyday for a week. The second week, I did two reps of each exercise, 5 times a day everyday for a week. It was only after I got over 30 reps that I had to start doing the circuits every 2 days. If I do it everyday, I start developing tendon and muscle problems in my shoulders (rotator cuffs), chest, and back. I'm building up so that I can do a lot of ropeclimbing and other outdoor activities when the snow is gone. I basically did "grease the groove" with the circuits until I started getting too out of breath with the higher reps. I have scarred-up lungs, so I run out of gas as the reps go higher and higher (bronchitis, a bit of asthma, and unfortunately I'm prone to pneumonia).
Grease the groove baby Me and some other people i know are on the 200 burpee a week for the year of 2011 You know, ? I don't even feel like a train in a way... I don't go to the gym or make it a chore but i do it basically all day everyday jut cuz i like doing it. My 4 year old does the ab wheel and pushups and sit-ups every day.
i have been getting into the bodyweight stuff too...but must go too close to failure because i need days off lok what is 200 burpees a week? so you do 30 a day? :/
Yea basically, 3 sets of 10 Doesn't seem like much but i do them for time, always with a pushup and jumping as high as possible
I thought 35 reps of everything would be a nice orderly number, so that's what I'm doing this week. It's not easy because I have had issues with my left wrist since I took a tumble last winter.
yes i do love the results man...ive been dressing like that for years, the jersey shore has ruined my life
if ronnie was my brother id slap him for crying all the time plus i look better then him anyhow artie:
Sly's in shape for sure. He and bigdawg must be the most toned guys on the site although Mike's usually in top-notch shape as well...and LOK looks like he could whip any watermelon in the world.
im bigger then both of them so its hard for me to be in shape like that all the time if i take days off from eating clean my back gets hella fat quickly to catch up with the rest of my body.Ive been going real hard all winter trying to bring my legs up and if i ever get into a scrap with a watermelon, loks on speed dial, like the bat phone
Well, I'm doing the following circuit three times a day each day: 1. 18 chinups 2. 36 HSPU 3. 36 cross-leg crunches with a 25lb plate 4. 36 reverse rows 5. 36 pushups although today, for my last set, I did 50 just to see if I could, and it was pretty smooth. 6. 36 v-crunches with 25lb plate 7. 36 one-legged calf raises 8. 36 hyperextensions I'm losing the fat, but the muscle is being packed on and that kinda reduces my actual weight-loss. Still, the fat-loss is good.
My staple routine lately has been daily pushups, chin or pull ups, sit-up, hypers etc Im 205 as of today but not much fat on me
hey LOK can you do this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmR2BEK9cEw&feature=feedu you're about his same build
Im up to 225 now. I want to get real lean again and stay over 200lbs I know it doesnt matter as far as my actual look goes, i just like knowing i weight over 200. I was between 185-190 in shape last summer
Getting back to doing fairly heavy shrugs. I felt a twinge in my neck and collarbone the other day when I was doing pushpresses. I don't want that happening on a regular basis so I'm doing some trap specialization.
i have done my fair share of lunges.. i don't think i have ever tried 800 yars.. that is impressive just from an endurance point
