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.
