im trying to build myself up to it, i ran for the first time in a long time the other day and couldnt make it a mile at full throttle, im riding my bike to build cardio endurance and them im going to start running and doing hose drags, im fine when i have an adrenalyn rush but if i dont its murder

 

doin good on my diet and working out, ive switched to reps of 25, then 20, then 15, then 10, then 5 with lightish weight (95 lbs bench at 120-125lbs body weight) ive started biking cause i cant run long distances yet, plan on getting a jump rope and have signed up for a free crossfit style class for emergency responders at the local college, hosted at the local boxing gym

not funny

 

no... it's hilarious.

 

psh. Thumbs are for pussies.

 

Spotters fault!!! LOL!

 

ok.

 

I haven't been to a gym all summer. Since I didn't attend summer classes=no school gym. So I worked out at home, in the garage, or in the back yard. I used a 20 lb vest for push ups and over hand pull ups. and dumbbells for arms and shoulders.

School started this past Wed. so I finally went to a real gym on Thur. and MAN, what a difference. My motivation levels for working out was through the roof for working out in a real gym. I kinda went nuts, and did some back, shoulders, bi's and tri's. I didn't wear myself out, but it was a kick ass work out. and I'm sore.

I haven't had a pump like that for a while, and it felt good.

I also did an application for the San Antonio Fire Dept. The exam is in Oct. I gotta get ready physically and mentally. and to top it off I have 15 hours this semester.

 

Whenever i see ppl using that grip i just cringe. my brother does it all the time. I dont understand why ppl do it that way

 

agreed. I keep my thumbs wrapped around the bar that way when It get hard I squeeze the hell out of it

 

Uhm....

 

I read somewhere to tighten your grip when you feel failure kicking in. Been doing it for a few months and my bench has gone up significantly.

 

Monday: Chest and 15 min cardio
Tuesday: Back and 15 min cardio
Wednesday: Legs and 15 min cardio
Thursday: Shoulders and 15 min cardio
Friday: Arms (Biceps/Triceps) and 15 min cardio
Saturday:Cardio and Light Legs
Sunday:Cardio and Hardcore Abdominals

I also train my calves and abs almost everyday.

 

I was thinking something else....

 

..someone didnt get the memo. You do realize that opposable thumbs are the main physical function that helped humans advance past the other slithering habitants of the earth ? You should know if you can pull the weight the moment it comes off the mount, and if you cant you better have a spotter doing a real good job like doing "over & under hand grip" while slightly squatting.

 

I know......

 

Aaron doesn't think about much else
