There’s like two local enough gyms I could join to “lift seriously”, but it’s worthwhile to make it happen, training outside, alone.
Better in many ways ; the vitamin d, the fresh air, the barefoot, the shirtless…
Play firstly, move the c&p 1rm up secondly.
Recently with a pair of cinder blocks and four bricks I improvised pulling from toe height.
Remembering the lesson of the cinder blocks I set them up, stood on them, and with hands on knees got a full range of motion on the neck harness.
2×25 w/30lbs
The leverage is so much less advantageous, it’s a great movement for the back!
Yesterday I sprinted, I’ve started looking to never do the same session twice in a row…
I decided to lift, some overhead squats.
2×10 w/95lbs, though in an hour or so I’ll probably do another mini session…
I’ve been liking this approach on the days I’m not working in the kitchen ;
•lots of mini sessions
•get my heart pumping/out of breath each time
This is how the body stays anabolic, fat burning, and amped up!
…..
30-60 minutes later…
Yeah, another mini session ;
w/95lbs
10 overhead squats
~12 total reps in the jefferson lift using two stances on each leg
3-5 reps hack deadlift
3 curls + 3 underhand presses
10 snatch grip rows
The hack deadlift worked better with 25lb plates, not bothering to touch the ground each rep, far better than trying to touch with 45s.
The curls could just be snuck up in weight sticking to low reps, 155lbs isn’t far – sneak up on it.
…..
7 hours later
•70 pushups
•10 total gym pullups
•10 bw squats (across varied stances)
This was the third mini session on the day, as I have to get my 100 pushups in.
Three mini sessions daily is my current philosophy for every day away from the commercial kitchen.
I should be catching a brief 5:00 session, aside from the pushups before work, gloves, bag, then off to work.
I’ve started sprinting again. In only a couple applications I’m a bit leaner.
A large percentage of my desire is to train.
I’m trying to never have the same session two days in a row.
Almost everything is outdoors, barefoot, shirtless, and if the bar is in the shade I’ll stand in the sun on the rest period.
Tomorrow?
Dude, when did you deadlift last?
Single up to something challenging doh, probably first in snatch grip, then in conventional, then maybe pyramid back down, oh and use 40lbs on the neck harness.
Well, that’s one session.
Dude. You still have pushups to do tonight.
