September 11-17

As of this week, I am closer to being 50 than 40. I had initially thought of calling my blog "Worlds Strongest Grandpa" but decided that would be silly; I am clearly NOT the worlds strongest grandpa but that is a worthy goal.

Repeat of 5x6. My warm up is a "Tabata" type session wherein I jump rope for 20 seconds, rest 10 seconds, then do one of four types of push ups for 20 seconds. I go wide, regular, diamond then archer. To finish the routine I practice levers and planche.

Sunday
Medium width pull ups,    Alternate chin/pull grips
Dips
Pistols

Tuesday
Narrow grip pulls
HSPU
Pistols


Thursday
Wide pulls
Dips

September 4-10, 2016

Now doing 5 rounds of 6.

Sunday
Neutral grip pull ups
Hand stand push ups
Pistols

I didn't stay on the EMOM schedule this day because I was having to do this in a playground near where I was camping.

Tuesday
Narrow pulls
Dips
Pistols/ alternated with lunges

My legs were gassed from the running on off days

Thursday
Wide pulls
HSPU
Pistols

I have decided that my form on one arm push ups leaves a lot of room for cheating. Instead I will alternate each workout between HSPU and dips.


For the week of August 28, 2016, I did 5 rounds of 5 of the following...

Sunday
Regular width pulls
Hand Stand push up
Pistol

Tuesday
Narrow grip pulls
Dips
Pistols

Thursday
