Thanks Bro! Farmers are a very humbling exercise. I did just 2 sets yesterday and it was a real struggle. The cool thing about farmers is that you can sort of dictate the intensity in a way but I liken them to being held in a MMA-like finisher---it is a matter of time before they make you "tap out."

1 set of farmers is all I can do. No grip after it.

Thx John, yes It really shocks myself just how much it takes for me to feel like i accomplished something its Crazy.... And of course I added some additional work, seems the initial plan is never enough lol, just hope I didn't push to much to interfere with this afternoons weight session..

[charlievanriper]

Well have a good day everyone, still waiting for product and training without workout Supps (well except I still have my Amino Caps and BCAA powder which I use but no pre w/o or stimulants) is killing me as I love my stims lol. Anyway
woke 2hrs later do to Saturday being the weekend and all.. Active Rest Day being 7th day of the week (train hard bust ass 6 days rest 1 repeat )..

So it was Amino Acid caps downed with herbal Tea and lemon then 15 minutes semi fast on the bike to warm up and wake up then outside for some Alley Sprints Pole to Pole (sprint 1 length, walk 1 length, sprint back 1 length, walk 1 length back to start repeat) 15 to 20 minutes..
Still unsure of distance but its either 42 yrds (135 ft) or 67 yards (200 ft)
I just go with it for now till I can get an accurate measurement.



BK today like most days Super delish, blend of Superfoods
Sauteed in Avacado oil organic white potatoes added organic Cabbage and kale, lightly sauteed, added organic red bells, jalapenos, sweet onions, tomatoes, green onions, stirred in chopped Raw garlic just before pouring ingredients onto plate and topping with organic Avacados and 3 whole Eggs folded. Topped with organic roasted tomato Salsa.
Seasonings were fresh ground black pepper, Himalayan Pink Salt, Cayenne, Spanish Paprika, cumin and new Mexico hot chili powder...


Rest of the day is yard work (de weeding)
New Week starts Tomorrow and Plans are for a tough killer Start...

[Squid24]

Sprints 20/60 ratio for 20 minutes

Wow
John thx for the Rings bro I really appreciate that, now I have to figure out how to hang them (whether new Straps or adapt new chains ?

I'll get it figured out though


Check out the gymnastic Rings my friend John Butz sent me... These are great for Dips but "Dam" are they hard hard. Setting them up I tested and could only get 6 reps with the Rings yet on Rigid Dip bars I go seems forever these killed me in 6 lol



Anyway just a spoke in a large wheel, A Ghost in the Machine..................

[kconnell]

Looks tasty!
