Steve's (rather long now) ex-log

[Steve Low]

Alright so I did today (in order):

3x3 attempted dip swing to handstand
2x8 handstand pushups
3x10 pseudo planche pushups (feet raised)
4x6 cross pullouts
3x5 rings flys
3x5 pseudo front lever pullups
1x6 widegrip pullups
3x10 pseudo planche pushups again

felt pretty good. body was pretty much wasted though

[jules]

What are pseudo front lever pullups?

[Steve Low]

just put my feet up on a 2 foot block, lean over as far as i can which is about 45 degrees or a bit more and do a set of pushups. it's really hard if you do it right.

[Paul Corfield]

Jules was asking about the front lever pseudo pull ups. I'd like to know too.

Paul.

[jules]

Is it when you do an assisted front lever (with feet on a box) and do pull ups?

[Bobby]

Or are tthey a bit like the tucked front lever pullups?I like those a lot

[Steve Low]

Yeah, they are more like tucked front lever pullups. I just like to call them pseudo because they are.. fake

However, I also do ones with my feet on a block about a foot below where I grab onto. Those are good too.

[Steve Low]

just did 4x6 cross pullouts on tuesday. i'm sick so if i did more stuff i would've jacked up my immune system and screwed myself even more.

[Bobby]

I am betting that you`re really itching to workout!I always have to force myself to take it easy when I`m sick or injured.Hope you get well soon.

4x6 cross pullouts
4x6 flys

still a bit under the weather, bleh.

[Bobby]

When you start feeling better give this a try:if you`ve got any ankle or wristweights handy put them on a belt and wear it while you do your crosspullouts.I don`t know if it will work,but I am giving it a try.I am going to train this way for a couple of weeks and then go for the cross!I found some of your posts on crossfit,always interesting to read!

[Steve Low]

That's a good idea actually. I have noticed that the strength seems to be coming slower now that I can do them decently easy. Also, I have work regular clothes when I've done it and it seems a bit harder like that so this might be the extra "stimulus" that my body needs to get the strength/hypertrophy.

4x6 cross pullouts
4x6 rings flys
3x5 tuck front lever pullups
3x10 pseudo planche pushups
1x25 v-ups

i think i did more but i cant remember.

[Bobby]

Try to keep a training journal handy when you workout.I have and I can go back and see what I did in1997 for example.It is especially handy if you think you haven`t made any progress.Go back and see what you did last year and you are always pleasantly surprised!Hope you don`t mind me commenting sometimes(I always read evryones logs,there is always something I can steal ).

[Steve Low]

4x7 cross pullouts
4x7 flys

we have a show friday.... so hopefully i can put the cross in and hold for 2 secs! we'll see

and yeah i should probably keep a log, but i am really lazy so i probably won't.
