How to deal with an off night of lifting

I was having a totally off night on my BTN Push Presses, not feeling it at all, so I finished of my last few sets with handstand push ups instead. Felt good.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone. No matter what you celebrate I hope that it's filled with love, peace, happiness and fun. Happy Holidays!

PR's coming early

You have to love it when you hit something on week 3 that you didn't think you'd hit until week 6. Nailed 6 sets of doubles in the Behind The Neck Push Press with 250 pounds and finished with two 70 pound kettlebells for Scott Presses. Here's set 6 of 6:

Deadlifts

Nailed 100 dips, 6 sets of BTN Push Presses and Scott Presses and 6 sets of Front Squats. Time to end it with 5 sets of doubles for Deadlifts with 450 pounds.

After nailing 100 dips and 6 sets of doubles in the BTN Push Press plus some Scott Presses it was time for 6 sets of triples in Front Squats. Here's the final set with 350 pounds.

Dip Challenge Day 4

Used the dips in my evening training for the challenge. Did a super set of 10 sets of 20 reps for dips and 10 sets of 10 reps for pull ups. Felt awesome. Here's the final set of dips.

Oh yeah, finished with timed squats doing as many reps as possible without stopping in 3 minutes with 135 pounds.

One of the best conditioners out there, period!

The Bear: For all your workout needs.

Great for strength, endurance, stamina, speed, power, mental toughness and more. Burns away body fat and builds muscle. Awesome stuff.

Here's the 4th of 5 sets from Tuesday night's training.

Neck and Traps, baby!

For Wednesday's training I hit my 100 dips, 5 sets of  12 reps for each direction for the neck (Forward, Backwards, Tilting left, Tilting right, Looking left and Looking right), 6 sets of 4 for Shrugs (with 505 pounds), 5 sets of 3 for Snatch Grip High Pulls (with 225 pounds, too light/ need to go heavier) and 5 sets of 3 for Clean Grip High Pulls (with 300 pounds).

Here's the final set of shrugs.

Dip Challenge Day 2:

Yesterday was pretty easy. Nailed 100 reps in 4 sets (sets of 25 reps) so I made it more difficult today. Used my bodyweight plus 35 pounds and nailed the 100 reps in 4 sets (sets of 20). Felt awesome

Why? Because F#$% Gravity, that's why!

Why deadlift? Because Fuck Gravity, that's why! After hitting 100 dips, 6 sets of Behind the Neck Push Presses and 6 sets of Front Squats it was time for 5 sets of doubles in the deadlift with 435 pounds. Here's the final set.

Nice to know I'm still pretty good at these

One of my favorite movements, yet I hadn't used it in a cycle in about 2 years. Still nailed 6 sets of doubles with 225 pounds. Here's the final set.

The Dip Challenge Begins

Decided that I hadn't done a monthly challenge in a while so I decided to do one this month. As of today I'll be hitting at least 100 dips every day. They can be normal dips, ring dips, weighted dips, reverse grip dips or what ever. But, there has to be at least 100 of them each day. Here's the 1st set for today.

The quest fo 200 begins

Today marks the beginning of my quest to up the bodyweight to a muscular and powerful 200 or more pounds.
