Pretty Rad!

My total is stoner doom

I'm making some slow progress with the gymnastic strength training. I'm up to 4x4 dips on my homemade "rings." I want to order some real ones, but all the reviews for good vs bad are so overwhelming. I can get a sloppy L sit on the homemade rings too.

Also starting to get tuck planche pushups, and my L sit is inching towards a V sit.

I think I'm going to work hard to nail some real good form with stuff I can do, and increase my flexibility. That means better handstand balance, a LOT more core work (I've been a little bit lazy about it) and a LOT more stretching.

I had to look up what a planche pushup is. Crazy.

Found this.

that's it.

Speaking of which, Monday was 5x5 back squats at 230#, deadlifts 1x5 at 290#, stairs for 15 minutes, followed by 1200 ft mtb climb today. My legs are toast. Did some jump rope and it was all jiggly, I'm fat.

Yeah, a lot of those street workout dudes aren't very big. But neither am I, so I'm hoping that it'll pan out for me. right now I'm still at doing tuck planche pushups on my parallettes.
(edit: this is not me in this video, in case you were wondering)

I'm envious of the parks they have in Eastern Europe. I haven't found one near me that has parallel bars or rings yet.

i'd like to give planche pushups a serious go but everyone i've seen doing that shit is either or:

A) on storoids á la tostostoronos
B) has it as a job
C) has no legs

i'm willing to go for neither.

A full planche takes a good long while. But for me it's a cool goal to work towards. All of the gymnastic style strength stuff is that way for me. It's fun, too, because you can train a little more often than with heavy weights. You want to stay below your point of failure so you can train again sooner. I usually do either two days on (one heavy, one light, or with different exercises) and one day off, or else I do every other day. As far as scheduling goes, if you get a routine down, you can go through a bunch of strength poses in a relatively short time (half an hour or so, depending...)

Worked up to a 220#/100 kg C + J and 185#/84kg snatch yesterday. 3 fails at 195# then wrapped it up

OK, an update on my workouts: I'm able to do manage all the lifts consistently except the chin ups because I can't find a safe place to install the bar, and I'm struggling slightly with the goblet squats with the 7kg dumbbell. I can do them all, but after ten repetitions I need to take a few seconds break and catch my breath and then begin with the final ten reps. The push-ups are not much of a problem, and I've wrapped weights around my wrists to increase the weight for the shoulder presses and rows—they are not a huge problem. To replace the chin-ups, I did some weighted ghost boxing and moving around. I know it's not anywhere near the same exercise, but it'll help with the weight loss, is fun and will improve my technique.

3 plate Back Squat today, a little rough but got it up.

Kid who joined OLY 3 weeks ago smoked my ass with a 350# BS.

I power snatched up to 175#, pulled 115# snatch off the blocks. Snatch Push Press x 3 at 165#

I've been doing the rows like the demonstration you posted, but I can switch it up to bent over-rows. I'll borrow some tools tomorrow from my Dad and see whether I can install the chin-up bar outside. It'll be a pain going the inside to the outside when working out, but it'll be worth it.

Also, do you think it's worth it to take weights on and off the dumbbell when I'm going from a single arm exercise to a double arm exercise? My dumbbells are customizable and you can take off a pair of 1kg plates and install them on one dumbbell. I can also jerry-rig other weights to the bar to add another couple of kilograms, as well as an exercise band. When I go to the shoulder press and bent-over rows, it may take over a minute during my rest time to take off the weights and install them back on the other dumbbell. Or should I just stick with what I have?

I doubt I'd be able to reach 15kg with a single dumbbell. I think they're 6kg with all on—4x1kg, 2x0.5, bar, 2 nuts—but can be 8kg with two additional plates. Strap two 1kg sticks, plus the weighted wrist bands probably makes around 11kg. It's not very heavy.

Snatch off the blocks, only 105# so its light.

Boy do I look slow, esp in the first one. ZzzzzZzzzZzzz

could probably POW more, but looks good bro

I need to be snappier under the bar, not as lethargic to get into that position. Of course 105# is light so its not showing how that will be a failure mechanism but at 195# some of my problems are speed related.

Moar work to do. We need proper boxes too, those suck cock
