today was one of those days that i always look forward to-free Coffee Cooler Day at Caribou! I was doing my core workout, when my mom reminded me, and after making a few calls, myself and some friends spent the next hour collecting a grand total of 111 free coolers! That doubled our total from last year, and cut my conditioning a bit short (though it was worth it). Anyways, i'm off to one of my last baseball games in a couple hours.
Thursday:
-2x13 sec Tuck Planche
-2x11 sec L Sit
-2x15 leg raises
-2x6 roll outs
-2x70 seated twists
Goals:
True Bar Muscle Up (need rotator cuff work)
8.5 foot broad jump (8.325 feet right now)
15 pull-ups (13 currently)
1 one arm push up
Bubka
Bodyweight Bench
Completed:
One set of Pulls to the bottom of chest (straight vertical, not leaning back)
8.25 foot broad jump

mostly a rest day, but i spent the day walking around barefoot, working on handstands, and various strength skills for fun. Oh, and...I did a true muscle up on a bar!! I did a couple, so the weighted pull ups are definitely paying off.
Sunday:
rest, fiddling around.
Goals:
+80 lbs pull up (approx. half bw)
8.5 foot broad jump (8.325 feet right now)

thanks; i've got a week coming up where i'll be on vacation, so without baseball to work around, i'm going to be doing conditioning as much as possible. Hopefully i'll make some serious progress over the time i'm gone

Congrats on the MU.
If you'll be on vacation, make sure to bring parallettes! It's probably the most useful and portable item, aside from rings, and of course... You.

*hoo, i wish i had parallettes. yesterday i decided that when i get back i'm going to put together a set of my own, and if i really want a project, i might try to make some gymnastic rings. Until now i've been using dumbbells at home as makeshift paralletes, as well as my grandma's chair, but i imagine i can't take either with me, so i'll probably head over to my aunt and uncle's gym and use what they have there.

and if i really want a project, i might try to make some gymnastic rings. It takes about 45 minutes, and most of that is either waiting for the pipe to bake, or sanding down the ends after it cools. (Otherwise, they may scratch your arms up some.) It'd probably take you longer to make parallettes! |

@ wn: sounds good; i'm looking forward to it.
as for today..lots of barefoot running, jumping, and scootering (i developed a blister on one of my feet-not bad though), some muscle ups, pull ups, and lots of activity. I also did a little leg exercise a couple minutes ago; coupled with what i did earlier, it felt good and tiring.
Wednesday:
-lots of barefooting outside and various exercises, swimming (this was tiring)
-6x3 10 sec rise squats
Goals:
+80 lbs pull up (approx. half bw)
8.5 foot broad jump (8.325 feet right now)
15 pull-ups(13 currently)
1 one arm push up

well well well. I've been getting in some nice higher volume conditioning, but i have had to leave out any pulling movements from my exercise for the time being. It seems that when i do pulling motions that i am not fully accustomed to, i strain the left side of my neck. I'm not sure why, but this happened the second time i really did weighted pull ups, and the second day that i did muscle ups. It hurts to turn my head, and i can feel it straining a bit when i do pull ups. That said, i've been doing everything else that i can manage.
Thursday:
-6x7 wide pushups (+15 lbs)
-6x6 close pushups (+15 lbs)
-6x15 squeezes
-3,3,2,2 forearm rollers
though it's friday today, i still have time to do more exercise, so i will post again the next time i can get my hands on a computer.
Goals:
+80 lbs pull up (approx. half bw)

ok, so i wasn't able to go to the gym today (and i probably won't until i get back home), because it costs 15 dollars to go in as a guest, and i don't feel it's worth it to lift some metal when i can manage with other stuff for the next 2 days. Anyways, i did only a little bit of work today, because my body is taking longer to recover due to the somewhat excessive volume i've been doing.  it's nothing bad, but i'm going to take a rest day before i head home, and i'm going to reshrink my volume, regardless of it being a similar intensity, so not as difficult. I'm looking forward to getting home and hitting the heavier weights and cutting out this silly high volume stuff. Monday:-3x15 diamond pushups -6x5 oa wall wrist ups i think that tomorrow i'll do a medium amount of jumping, squat rises, and calf raises, and half the sets of rollouts, tuck ups, and seated twists to let my body recuperate. after that, i'll take a rest day with just stretching, and then i'll be home.
Goals:+80 lbs pull up (approx. half bw) 8.5 foot broad jump (8.325 feet right now) 15 pull-ups(13 a few months ago) 1 one arm push up
