***The Exercise Challenge***

I'm back I haven't posted in a while but here is my schedule stretches for flexibility cardio and then weightlifting it mix it up.

 

Welcome back @Monsieurgrande one !

Update: Did a couple of strict presses with my 24kg kettlebell as well. Keeping the shoulders strong.

Cheers!

Kettlebell swings 30# 2x10
KB deadlift 30#

 

I just did one round of the RKC deep six kettlebell workout. Wuhuuu!!
I used my trusty Dragondoor 24 kg kettlebell.

I used this for pace keeping and motivation.

I already did an RKC deep six with my 24kg in april. Back then it was a LOT tougher and it almost fell out of my hand. This time grip was no problem and it was decently tough but not total annihilation to me. PROGRESS! Yaay!

I propose a three months challenge for me:
Work up to be able to do 3 rounds with my 24 kg. Allowing only 1-2 minutes of rest inbetween.
(No chalk, no tape, etc.)
...there are a lot of "Is" in here. Sorry for being so egocentric. Haha.

Keep on going fellow brothers and sisters!

Did another round of RKC deep six yesterday and it was hard. Did a lot of swings with my 32 kg as well, as I was fired up by some youtubers. Haha.
Today I shall proceed with deadlifts, squats, dips and weighted chin ups.
Tomorrow I'll continue the RKC deep six.

My current one rep max on the deadlift is 150 kg. I wonder if I can increase it to 180 kg by the end of this year. The technique is getting better already.
I stay in the reprange of 3 with 120 kg to 135 kg. Doing up to 7 sets with it on Tuesdays.
The rest is with my bells and carrying around people in training and in the free time.

Keep the updates comming, my STRONG friends!

Yesterday I did my first gym workout after a 10 days break. I feel great because of that. It was full body as always:
Back Squats
DeadLifts
Incline Bench Press
Weighted Dips
Pull ups
Shrugs
Arm superset(Strict DB Biceps Curls-Skull crushers)
Lateral raises
Face pulls.

Is there anybody who has experience with neck training? I did neck exercises few times, and I find them great, but I did them without adding any weight. It was still hard, I had trouble curling my head 30 times in a set, and I always feel like my chin is working a lot while I'm doing them, not sure if it's normal.

 

I've been pretty bad at updating my workout lately, I am a bit off with my routines because I'm on vacation. However, I did a new personal record today: 30 pull-ups! In a row

 

Wow man you are so strong! Can you tell us your age, height and weight, if it's not a secret?

 

Been slacking in posting about my workouts in here...

Morning:

• 10 sets of 10 chinups (90 second rest)
• 10 sets of 20 diamond pushups (90 second rest)

Afternoon:

• 5 rounds of 45 seconds rope skipping
• 5 rounds of 2 minute bodyweight squats

 

Thank you @Dane17! I'm 35 years old and 5.6 feet tall, weighing around 155 pounds, currently. If I don't do any workout for a long time my weight falls down to around 143 pounds.

 

day 0/30
Did a short easy circuit consisting of: rows, pushups, supermans, v-hold and stiff legged deadlift

 

Day 1.
Warm up, rows, pushups, superman hold, v-hold, stiff-legged deadlift and a few light stretches.

 

I wouldnt recommend doing so much breh.

 

He has conditioned himself to be able to do it, I see nothing wrong in it. There are some pro athletes able to train 10+ hours a day.

 

My full body session today:
-Bulgarian Split Squat(I noticed my knee is going inwards, gotta fix it)
-Single Leg Deadlift(Did this for the first time in my life, I wanted to do conventional but some dude was doing it and I couldn't wait for him to finish...)
-OHP
-Bench press
-Weighted dips
-Bent over rows
-Neutral grip pull ups
-Arm superset(BB biceps curls/ Standing behind the head triceps extensions)
-Face pulls

 

Day 4 did chest exercise yesterday bench press diamond push ups flyes and shoulders also got a girlfriend so feeling good and stron -Day 4-

 

Day 2. Rows (Did a few more than yesterday to counter heavy chest and shoulders), Elevated Pushups, Superman Hold, V-Sit Hold, Stiff-Legged Deadlift.

Used my grip squeezer to check my grip strength (its good).

 

I would actually classify that particular day as a day with a very mild dose of workout. There are days where I do workout every 30 minutes for 14 hours.

 

For training the neck I do clinch/wrestling/groundfighting. But directly working the neck, I suggest to keep it in a neutral position and press against your hands, in every direction.

30 pull-ups! Man! Awesome!

Update:
I've been doing some martial arts training (groundfighting), kettlebell training and pull ups. I use the greasing the groove method and started to strengthen my wrists.
I did the RKC deep six two days in a row and found it to be quite taxing, especially when I have barbell work the day after. So...I guess I will have to split it up a bit to be able to recover from it.

Cheers!

Thank you Baldur! There's actually pretty much technique involved now, even my legs are helping me to do the pull-ups.

Even though I don't regularly do this workout myself, have you tried to lie on your back and lift your body up with your toes and your head?
