[rev210]

Thanks Leesh. It was a great day

Spent the birthday at Waterbom (bali) with the kids. Progress (lack of) pic below ha ha...

I have some work to do as mentioned. The trip to Bali with the cheap food and bintangs didn't help too much ha ha....

Cute kids, when will they be picking up a barbell?

Cute kids, when will they be picking up a barbell?

They are keen . Their mum is far more commited to training than I am, so these girls have a good role model.

testing the shoulders out today.

rear delt raises

Military Press 70kg - 20 reps

Military Press 95kg - 5 reps

70 pushups.

[No Crust Racing]

And how does it feel now?

Am I the only one impressed by that?

Oh don't mind me, I'll just do 25 reps of MP then drop and give you 70. You're a drill sergeants dream.

[rev210]

And how does it feel now?

Feels like I still have some mobility issues, my form on standing press felt off, not getting the elbows forward enough for position before the presses . The shoulders are sore today as well.

Pushups are an endurance thing not strength. I should be able to do over 100 in a row but, I can't yet.

[No Crust Racing]

Well I doubt I' could do 50 pushups in a row and I've moved a little ways beyond benching my bw for reps, so I think 100 still requires some level of training and 70 is pretty impressive in my books.

[Birds]

I don't know how accurate it is, but I always used the rule of thumb that a pushup is like benching a little more than half your body weight.

[No Crust Racing]

Yeah makes sense, I suppose it would depend on the proportions of the person but that's as good a template as any.

[Birds]

Yeah difficult to get it exactly, particularly as the body inclines as you push up and hand position changes everything!

[Trozzle]

Fark me the most I've ever bothered to push out without more than a second between reps was 35 I think....goddamn

[Birds]

You can prolly do a lot more these days Troy, as your bench has increased a fair bit...

Think my PB was 50 at a boys weekend away / dick swinging contest a few years ago.

[rev210]

Did 3 sets of deads yesterday (first since the challenge).

and some pullups.

[rev210]

Quick test. Cobwebs.....

pushups

81

pullups

25

Dips

55

[L33SH]

good work except all odd numbers!

[rev210]

ha ha... yes

To get back to evens, it would be cool to get to 100 pushups . 50 pullups and 100 dips . Dips and pushups will be easy enough (well at least quicker to progress). The pullups not so easy.
