Ooo, I’m going to Home Depot this w/e!
hmm… i wonder about wooden gymnastics rings…
cool video!!! I dig Ross’s stuff too…
Your family sounds bizarre. I would probably have resorted to gun play. My extended family on my wife’s side is a bunch of hyper-educated intellectual snobs, and while they are probably MUCH better dressed than the folks you dealt with they were no less moronic.
You lift like a beast.
That’s some heavy front squatting Kevin.
Do you think a double bodyweight front squat is in your future? That would be incredibly impressive.
Those fallouts look fun. I bet they make you ache all over because they are so unstable.
Nice lifting.
Lil P- ratchet straps can do allot of stuff
the silly part is I have a TON of climbing gear for work
all manner of ropes , shivs (pulley’s) nylon webbing rigging etc
for work Im sure I could have made one.
Lexi - I used rings pretty heavily in college you can do allot with them
MinM- thanks Ross is good stuff
Fb- thank you fallouts are a killer-
hmmm a double BW front squat-
that is ambitious
that would be a 365lb front squat.
then I look at what people who weigh 85 kg 0r 183 lbs can do and Im like
hmmmm.
no training today- worked in the cold
and ran 9million errands
back tomorrow
LMK about this Friday.
Like the TRX stuff, use to have some straps over the I beam in my basement and would do several different exercises with it. Have you tried doing push ups on the TRX, crazy hard but extremely effective.

What do you do for work ?
and I thought I had it tough with my family, you make them sound tame 
glad this zoo is over.
Happy New Years!
when I was hosting on the 26th bro came over with the family but Cookie-face was battling a double ear and throat infection. poor kid looked like she’s been runover with a truck. She was in good spirits though - meds made her pretty high and loopy. lolz

Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that. Damn annoying that is.
Great stuff K. Those fall downs (because I think that’s what would happen to me) are like ab roll outs in a way. Are you doing them for ab work?
Family stuff was a great read.

Great deads and front squats. Crazy families are the norm here in NH.
Kent- I see you snuck in here - sorry I missed you.
Dday- I like the pushups allot
great pressing move or finisher for me
love the inverted rows too
Frenchi- thank you- sorry to hear about cookie face 
James- yes plate clean up guy was annoying
I do the fallouts to switch it up from roll outs
actually my knee- the franken one with the gross lump
bothers me even on a mat for rollouts or GHR so maybe these are better
Eco- thanks and Happy new years
wait a sec- you folks think my fam is nuts?
;))
First I need to thank the Brazillian girl from two towns over
who I have seen at a local Judo club
for wearing tights,
squatting , RDL, and then lying ham curls.
then I need to Thank Derrek his PR of 315 front squat
lit a fire under my ass.
I want that 315 for a dbl
1.10.12
lower
mobility , pvc lax ball at home
more at gym
tons and tons of ankle stuff
shits where all jacked up
activation
OH squat 95x10, HLRx10, Face pulls x10 , rope triceps x20 3 rounds
A Front squat
135x6,185x5,225x5,245x3,275x3,295x2,305x1
then 225 3x5
B BSS 40 4x10 wanted 5 sets
C Dimel 155 2x20 pukerific
D standing abs crunch 4x10
E1 TKE 100 reps RP each
E2 calves 100 reps RP
Notes
good day
the 275 triple was smooth the 195 dbl
is where I had some folding and a bit of knee waggle
BSS- cut back on weight knocked out more reps
wanted 5x10 got 4x10
not sure what is better with these a bigger load 4x6
or something like 5x10???
other stuff was other stuff
need to keep adding calves- they arent small
but my ankles/foo/knee/hip stuff starts somewhere
thanks for reading- and all the e-support sorry this became a book

nice training, you’ll get that 315 x 2 fs soon
Killing as always Kev.
I’ve always subscribed to the ‘body grows as a unit’ mentality and made sure I trained things like calves and forearms if you want big legs and arms.
is the mobility that you do from the bookmarked/stickied post?
You got 315 in ya, couple good foot stomps and you’re off.
Big Pete- thanks for the support
Thanks Ddot
my forearms are already bigger them my upper arms
wrestling+judo+coiling stupid heavy cable and dumb work shit= popeye arms.
but that theory does make sense need to work on that
Dday- thanks my friend
Might be a few weeks of solid training to get it
and WAR FOOTSTOMPS

I started that thread just to give older athletes like us
some ideas as to what can help
I do some or most of the stuff in the mobility thread
but not each session
I try to get stuff that is the most bang or buck
or things that problem areas
typically its plenty of lunging
hips stuff, hamstrings and glutes, quads
ankle mobility and a shoulder warm up
if you look closely at my log I do some stuff
I call an activation complex
I do
Over head squats
face pulls
hanging leg raises
sometimes back raises
pushups
glute bridges etc
to get shit to fire before I train
I like Defranco’s Agile 8 too
let me know if you have specific questions
here or in the mobility sticky
