Today was conditioning. since theres a park right outside my house thought id better put it to good use. circut went a something lil like this

1xlap around the field

10xpushups

1min stationary cycle

10xplate snatches

DB farmers walk up a hill and back again roughly 40-50 metres

1 min rest between sets

did that for 3 sets was puffing and wezzing after the 1st set :grin: must be good for ya

[drizzt]

Nice mate, sounds like a decent circuit :nod:

[steak]

a little more exciting than thrashing it out on a bike and good for your functional strength 8)

Nice bro 8)

was it Nate..yeah it was who popinted out to me that the 2 inch deficits were more beneficial to him and some of the other strongmen. The 4s nail ya for sure but it was the 2s that built the power. Old Bull has ben getting good results pulling from a mat (guessing this would be 1inch or so) and its tidied his lift up a bit by the sounds of things 8)

At least you don't have to stand on benches/boxes to reach pull up bars and stuff :shifty: Someone told me to just jump up once, sure, maybe when I'm Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee I'll give that a go :roll: Why do they put them up so high?

tbh i always felt them to be too low :grin: most of the pull up bars we have @ our gym my knee caps almost scrape the floor. DIY would dictate getting a forklift, a wide bar, set it on the forks and away u go, adjustable for all heights!

[Big john]
