The Grinch got an idea, an awful idea, the Grinch got a wonderful awful idea. – The Narrator “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”
Sometimes ideas, devious ideas, wonderful awful ideas (use the voice), pop into my mind.
Usually in the bathroom for whatever reason. This was a teeth brushing eureka moment a couple days back.
I’ve been doing some overhead squats lately, I’ve also been riding my bike a little.
The two and horse stance have done my legs good in a brief period of time.
My pastime at present is sitting outside reading.
I’m always thinks about lifting, training, and generally when I think of sports it’s ones that are followed by precisely almost no one.
After biking full speed maybe .225 miles up a small incline the other day, liking the wind effect, then biking a steeper hill and liking the muscular effect, I had sprint cycle on my mind.
As I’ve been doing them, high rep overhead squats have been on my mind.
Somehow this got crossed with the idea of 8 hour arms.
Not exactly the same manner.
So it’s 16 mini sessions, at the top of the hour and at the half hour marks.
Here’s what I picture :
•high rep overhead squat set
•bike sprint – it’s just shy of a ¼ mile to a stop sign
So I’d have 16 mini sessions, in the yard, and biking in the road, spending a day training, and lounging around at home.
The day would end up something like 400+ reps on the overhead squat, with just under 4 miles of all out sprint speed biking.
And since I’d said to my buddy how if we were to do it, I’d not take protein shakes, I just eat a bunch of pb&j (though cans of chicken/tuna would be more congruent with the intended spirit of the thing). So there’s that too.
Bacon is the best preworkout, so it’d be the best eating choice for this.
However I’d likely do it with as little in me as possible, likely fasting as that’s what I’ve been doing lately.
I don’t know that I’d trust myself with stimulants. If I did…hyphy mud, instant coffee in dollar store or walmart generic cola, or if splurging in cherry pepsi.
I’m not drinking a bang energy drink ever again.
It’s an idea what with being unemployed while everything is corona closed.
If this was done at a gym I’d suggest very heavy front squat partials, sets of 8-20, and the same bike sprint whether indoor or out.
Don’t use a recumbent bike!
