Session #5 - 3/3/09

Started off a little different today.

-Toe Touch, 2 styles of Cat/Camel, Lower/Upper Body Twist, Shoulder Sweeps, Deep Squat w/Band Around Knees

-TGU w/barbell 45,65,85LBSx1/1
Very different. Felt good. Not sure if it's because the weight is more spread out but 85LBS felt noticeably lighter(more than 3 LBS) than the 40KG kettlebell.

-S.S. Dead
225LBSx3
315LBSx3
380LBSx3
345LBSx3 - 2 sets

-BUP 24KGx1,2,3,4 - 2 ladders
super set w/
-Pull Up BWx1,2,3,4 - 2 ladders
Presses felt good today, I'll continue to alt between reg and BU. Trying to create as much tension as I can on the pull ups so even though the rep count is low they feel like work.

-Lev Block Curl
15LBSx1/1
12 1/2LBSx3/3 - 2 sets
The 15 was a little ugly but I still got it.

-Bending
20 grade 2's in folded IMP's. Wrists were done by the end of this.

-Back Bridge, Deep Squat Stretch, Cobra/Child's Pose, Cossack w/24KG, Toe Touch, Side Bends

Great work!! I thought the tgu was easier w/ the bar for the reason of the wt being spread out...interesting to see where this goes...nice job on your BUP!!

I'd like to have a bigger space to do the TGU's but the basement will have to do. I think the arm with weight definitely has to stay strictly vertical with the bar. I can get away with it leaning a bit forward with a KB. Did you notice that?

yeah...the bar would "swivel" forward and back if I didn't keep tight grip and straight arm...w/ kb--it is almost like i dont have wrist strength that KB pulls so vigoriously back/ hyperext !! later
