Notes----- Hand made it harder on the squat to hold the bar, they were strong though. Bench was good and solid. I dont have a spotter so I never really give it a 100%. I dont like it when I have to do 2 big lifts in one session. Zercher squats are so much fun One arm pushups are still bad form but they are coming along alright. Time to face the day.
I have never been able to push out more the 1 ugly looking rep for the 1 hand pushups.
Have a nice day!
Hey native! Just catching up. Welcome!
Rancher eh? That sounds like a sweet deal! And a mommy too. Love it.
You’re incredibly strong! Amazing. The pullups…ugh! More amazing. Pullups are my obsession and 6 x 10 is incredible.
Keep up the great work!
Picture time…

I like your set up. I’m jealous of your suspension and rope system–very cool.

Love this. Great idea. Are you using left hand on left rope & rt hand on rt rope, than scaling? If so, WOW! Your grip must be strong as dirt.
Hi…
awesome STUFF you got there!
Print–With the ropes I usually do the rope climb, like you described.
Nadia-- thanks a bunch. It has taken me a while to get all my stuff built up and the way I want it.

Pretty happy with the dips, dont know why I skipped 85lbs. Total miscalculation that I did not realize til I was putting the plates back. I will be getting that 90lbs in no time :). Presses feel pretty solid, I had some leg drive with the last set. Got the 1 rep with out the leg drive but the rest of em had it. I used to hate presses, now I really look forward to em and enjoy doing em. Saturday I did some mobility stuff but nothing else… I am feeling pretty worn out this week. Next week is my de-load week which is good with the way that I feel over the last couple days.
Last MOnday - Wednesday I had pretty lower than normal carb days and it is really effecting my recovery even still. Duly noted though I won’t be doing that again, I normally eat a pretty low carb diet (paleo-ish) anyhow so when I cut even more and foolishly think that I can keep my activiy level the same I pay for it. Well that is about all, we Preg-tested 135 head of cattle on Saturday and only had 7 cows that were not pregnant. Happy with that percentage, makes for the prospect of a good pay check next year - Hopefully…
Those dips are just SWEET! And the presses are making my head spin. I am very impressed. Keep on being awesome.
Kimba- thanks a bunch. The presses made my head spin too!
