Workout

[Monky]

I'm getting pissed off at being broken. It seems that no matter what I do the next day I pay for it. Anyone have a few vertebrae in good condition that they'd like to donate?

On a side note.. the metcon tonight.. I had the second best time for going RX.. 4 rds. row 500m, 20 wallballs @#20. I've also apparently lost my strength on pull ups. Need to do more I guess. Could only add #20 and I barely squeaked out the 3rd one. I've gained a few lbs and I'm fairly certain it's just muscle as everything still fits the same.. Diet actually hasn't been too bad. Coming in around 1700-1800 a day. I can't eat clean and get anymore.. I'm ready to burst at the end of the day as it is.

I have really been phoning it in lately since there are no other dudes working out. So I feel it every time I make it to a workout. At least you get to work out with dudes all the time.

Also, working out in glasses sucks. Running in the rain with glasses sucks. Single leg box jumps seem to work entirely different muscles than normal box jumps. That's all for now.

So.. They opened a gun shop right next to my box. This could be bad. Stopped in last night as they were closing. Pretty decent guys. Open for 6m, not a ton of inventory, but they have a smith. They have room upstairs where they have a couple tvs and said feel free to come by, clean guns and shoot the shit.

Name of it is '1st stop firearms'.. Gave them an invite to come chat it up on the forums.

They'll give store credit and such for random things you have in junk drawers.. Parts and pieces.. Old holsters. They have a box of used holsters that just says make me an offer

I went to the gym today. Monday/Wednesday/Friday, every week. I only lift but we do 12 reps of each set.

Starting to get bored with my workout program (ICF 5X5, 3 days/week). I want to start a Push/Pull/Legs program for better hypertrophy, but I don't think I can do six days a week at the gym after work and still be home enough to help the wife with the housework/baby/etc. Looking more seriously at building a home gym as it seems the only solution. Plus I really like the idea of being able to just walk out to the garage when I want to lift.

Monkey, I've got a new core exercise for you, but try it carefully as I feel it in my back. I called it the Side Plank Scissor.

So you know a regular old leg lift where you lay on your side and lift your top leg into the air like half a scissor? It's basically that, only you are doing a side plank on your elbow. Even five of them are difficult.

I did 38 cleans at 135 tonight, 60 knees2 elbows, 84 push-ups in 14m. My back already hurts.

I'll have to try those when I recover in a few days.

There are some companies with some good wall mount multifunction racks. Rogue makes some good stuff. My friend has one of theirs.

I was just thinking tonight about how would could mount a brace onto a doorway, or wall, so you could have a more compact captains chair at home. Bet it wouldn't be too difficult to make something removable.

[Monky]

They make foldable wall mounts. They're beefy units. At least the ones from rogue. I wouldn't mind doing one, but I'm bad enough over doing it with people watching me... On my own... I'd be stupid
