Disgusting..lol..

Put up a vid of you deadlifting please, Trevor.

And like Josh pointed out: smart decision on sticking with pullthroughs

 

[Tblock1]

Jdid: Thanks!
Andalite: Haha man I know it's disgusting....but if you havent exercised till you've puked you've never done a truly hard workout. Puking means you are at a very high level of your work capacity, but there is much higher of cours (passing out haha) Plus I know in Rangers if you stop to puke they fail yuor ass....gotta keep running while you puke
As for the video I'll see about that....my form got much better for a while but now it just sucks....not gonna try to cover it up

Comments: Good workout. Really enjoyed the pullups, amazing how much harder slow deadhang pullups are. I'm gonna continue with these till I get to 7x8-10 or so, no weight till then. Tabata was awesome, I'm gonna do different tabata's every workout from now on

TBlock- yeah man, deadhang pullups with a slight pause are THAT much harder. I've always done them that way

Damn 187lbs. at 6 ft? Thats practically skin and bones, eat up killa.

I used to do my highpulls like that and I posted up a video on here and everyone said I was doing them wrong, pulling too much with arms and not exploding with hip power to get the bar coming up.

gotta stay under 190 of I dont want to get bodyfat tests for the army. I just cant keep on the weight when I'm going hiking every weekend and running 3 or more times a week. It's literally impossible because high altitude kills your appitite.

EM: Weird man I like them this way. I feel like I am using my hips a lot though....I dont think I could pull 225 up with just my arms.

Workouts: Missed thursday to go camping I only got 1 weight workout in this week, camping this and last weekend

Friday:
run for 18 minutes 33 seconds, at 7000 feet elevation, some uphill

Saturday: around 6 miles of hiking
Sunday: 14 mile hike, 4000 foot elevation gain. Got to an 11,204 foot peak, killer views!!!!

Later in the day:
Circuit: alteranting exercises
Pushups 4x15
situps: 4x20
dh pullups: 4x5 (alternated with chinups)

Good job on the workouts.

Start bumping your sets of calisthenics up abit.

187lbs at 6ft is fine for military. Less weight is better when you're running constantly and hiking 10-15+ miles.

Trust me, you don't want to be +200lbs doing all that shit unless you are naturally a bigger built guy.

Keep it up.

Thanks! I know I get shin splints as is really bad. I have been doing shin exercises and icing though.

also I forgot to add I might do ROTC and be an infantry officer, which means much more lifting allowed so we will see

 

[miked8c]

That would be great man, ordering around the grunt while you get to get jacked in the gym. If you really want to pursue lifting I think that would be a much better path than going rangers. I feel like you would fighting a very uphill battle if you tried to lift and do rangers.
