New Hampshire Lifter II

100 reps is a day’s work.

Crippler, my tank was empty after that workout. I didn’t wear a belt yesterday so both my lower back and obliques are aching today.

Pick up my cpap tomorrow. I hope I adjust to quickly.

It will probably take a while, but worth it once you get used to it.

100 reps related to that cpap machine?

Thanks Crippler. Picked it up today. See how it goes tonight.

No relation Mac. Just feeling my way around.

I didn’t add the chain weight to my numbers. I’m not sure what they weigh. Maybe 40-50 lbs. I used my precisley calibrated 17’’ box tonight.

I usually don’t like to lift this soon after another workout but my oldest asked me to bench with him.
I’ve had my cpap for five nights now. The first three nights were terrible because I didn’t like the first mask. But I switched it for another and the past two nights have been good. I think I feel more rested. But it could just be in my head.

It took me a while to find the right mask too. Also, I like the old school stump.

Steve the stump looks great. You’ll probably be using a flat rock one of these days.

Crippler, still getting used to the cpap experience. I hope to start seeing improvements in my workouts.

Mac, when I find the right stone I’ll be using it.

  2. BB row-deadlift combo 315x2x5-5 275x2x5-5

I really like the bb row deadlift combo. 5 reps of rows followed by 5 reps of deadlifts.

BB rows w/315. Great lifting as usual Steve. I was thinking during my workout this am how similar they are.

Catching up and you’re still lifting strong. Just like biker I was almost impressed by the BB rows with 315.

Don’t be too impressed because my stomach is so big now I only have to pull the bar a couple inches off the floor for bb rows.

I’m not sure why but I wasn’t feeling it today. I ate well and had a good nights sleep. So I have no excuses. But I put the time in and went through the motions.

Did some stretching and bb complexes this morning. Then I rode my wife’s spin bike for a bit.

Pictures or that never happened!

I’ve taken spin classes. I think you’re 3X wider than the kind of human they build those bikes for… :wink:

Punny, I didn’t say how out of breath I was or how uncomfortable I felt. It wasn’t pretty.

  2. Sldl 135,185,225,275x5 315x10

I’m feeling a lot more comfortable with the cpap. Feeling more awake during the day. Now to get some carryover to my lifting.

Steve, just reduce your carb intake for awhile. Lifts might suffer a bit but you’ll get the gut down.

Judging from Bulldog’s, Crippler’s and your posts, I’m starting to think cpap machines are a mechanical steroid.

One of these days I’ll watch my carbs. Maybe next Monday.

1b. Neutral grip chins: BW and +25 x 11 sets

My favorite workouts are just 2 big exercises for a bunch of sets. After 30-40 minutes my mental and physical enthusiasm fades quickly.

  2. Bb rows/deadlift combo 405x3-3 365x3-3 315x5-5 275x5-5 225x5-5

My outside lifting buddy had to be put down last Wednesday. I was surprised how much it’s bummed me out.
But I was back at it today. There was a lot of body swing with the 405 and 365 rows.
