Still doing GTG negatives with much success. Today I did a 25 foot rope climb while in an L-sit that didn’t seem to bother me at all. I’ll start to transition tomorrow into very low rep concentric pull ups.
This workout has pretty much destroyed my upper body. All work here was done on rings.
As mentioned in my last post, my training has not exactly come to a fork in the road, but rather a smaller more direct road. I spent a total of 66 days on the Starting Strength program, which I’ll admit isn’t that long of a time.
In two months, I gained 15 lbs of almost pure muscle. My body fat percentage varied between days from 7% to 8%. The effectiveness of this routine is mind boggling.
How much my progression is attributed to genetics I do not know. However, near double bodyweight squats in two months is purely astounding.
My training is going to shift slightly; things will be added and things will be taken away. I enjoy the place where I am at right now and feel like I have a good foot in the door for what’s to come.
Once I have my new routine solidified and figured out I will update.
Today marks my first failure at moving weight in my squat. This is severely depressing to me.
With that said, I did wait nearly a week before once again going to the gym. Also it was at the end of the day. To compound this, I lost 5 lbs during that week break while maintaining at least 4000kcal a day.
Regardless of this depressing end, I feel that starting strength has gotten me a great step in the right direction for my training to come. I’ll address this in my next post.
This was presented to me by a close friend who was looking for some unanswered questions on the ‘dreaded’ cholesterol issue.
I feel this is a worth a highlight as Dr. Rosedale brings to light numerous inconsistencies with the general public’s perception of the role cholesterol, LDL, and HDL play in the body.
Slight disclaimer – This video interview is presented by Dr. Mercola and although I think he does a good job presenting untold facts, he is simply too much of a business man for me. Ignore his VIP membership sales pitch at the end if you wish.
Today was the first trial of the Rochester Parkour class at Zenith Gymnastics. We had about eight kids show up varying in age from 8 to 14, but all had a great experience and definitely had a lot of fun.
Classes are taught by our own Zac Cohn who has been training locally and abroad for over three years. He is also a member of a national alliance of traceurs, sponsored by American Parkour, to continue the growth of Parkour nationally. At the moment I am a volunteer assistant and you can find my information in my “about me” page hereatb – two worlds cd1 download .
Zenith Gymnastics is located in Winton Place just off the East end of Brighton Henrietta rd. If you are interested in signing up your child, or yourself, give Amy a call at 585.292.5370.
If you are interested in Parkour but want more exposure, give Amy a call and ask about my ages 5-8 boys class or my 8+ Gymnastics class.
The new site is about 98% done. Obviously there are a few kinks that need to be addressed, and if you are an Internet Explorer user (God forbid why? Google chrome?) you’ll notice some horrific faults in the code. For everyone else you should be fine.
I hope you enjoy the design and hopefully my design professors will be pleased. Again, I will be adding more content in the next couple weeks so the site will be undergoing numerous slight changes. Check in often.
