^^ Whole bunch of randomness in this log!
FINALLY had a day off so I made it to the dungeon to lift some weights!!
I'm thinking for the next month I'm going to do a lot of hypertrophy work for my upper body to build some muscle on my arms. Stupid stick arms.
Strenuous 4 mile hike
Shoulder dbell complexes
20 lb. dumbbell snatches
15 each arm, 2 sets
Bench
Baby bar x 20
60 x 7
70 x 5
70 x 5
70 x 5
70 x 5
70 x 5
20 lb dbell hammer curls
I'm pretty sure this is what I was benching back at home easily, but they were grinders here. oh well.
Also, tried hang cleans. Was unsuccessful. I was taught them by a crossfit coach a few months back and forget everything he taught me.

Grip nerdiness
CoC Sissy
10 x each hand, clicked every time...
This was my goal before I started working on the Trainer, and in perfect timing. Trainer came in the mail yesteryday. Closed it with my right hand, almost with my left hand. I'm just not setting it right in my left hand.
As for my regular routine, it's pretty much non-existent right now. I'm just too fucking tired at the end of the day. I'm going through deadlift withdrawal!!!!

You may want to get something between a Trainer and #1 or #1. Biggest improvements for me came from forced closes, negatives, and timed holds. Doing grippers about twice a week is plenty, even once a week is good if you train with intensity. Though keep in mind that your grip training should be specific to your athletic goals. (so that finger board or block lifts will be more useful than crush strength training for things like climbing)
If you dont really care about damaging gripper, you can also file inside of the handles for longer ROM.

Oh crap. I've been doing these things everyday!! I actually don't even know why I'm messing with them, just to keep myself occupied on days that I am too exhausted to lift.
Today I did 5 singles with the Trainer and forced closed the 1. I'd really like to close the 1 before I get home in August...I've heard there's very few girls that can! (Even some dudes)

I'm always reluctant to share my fortune cookie fortune with others. I like to know what others' are but I don't like telling everyone what mine is. Does that mean something?
I thought this log had jiu-jitsu :/

lol...don't even get me started. I am in Wyoming for the summer and basically all of my diet/training work (including jiu jitsu) is going to shit. I am in the middle of nowhere so I can't train BJJ at all! BUT...the good news is my instructor back at home moved his schoool closer to my college and I plan on paying for an unlimited membership and taking muay thai, boxing and jits when I get back in August. I want to get my blue belt by the time that I graduate so I'll be training like its my job!
Also, I think I've finally adapted to the lack of oxygen up here. Hiking/walking/working feels normal again but my progress in the gym is definitely being affected.
Today's workout..if you can even call it that.
Used a smaller barbell today bc it was the only one available, having to estimate how much Im using. Also, had to clean the weight. (and in my case, reverse curl cause I dont know how to clean)

My friend who is a skinny little phillipino kid wanted to show me he could do the same thing as me so he cleaned it, put it over his head. I was laughing that his grip was backwards so he switched his grip WHILE the bar was over his head. The bar dipped and almost hit him in the freakin' head. MEN...

Funny thing is there's a few entries in this log where I failed a rep cause I got distracted.
But this time it was for a legitimate reason, the gym is in a "rec room" so half the room is full of ping pong tables. Bunch of foreign kids playing ping pong making their balls run under my feet and bounce all over the walls...
...I might go to the worst gym in the world.

^^ Felt supa easy, it's been kinda hard to stay patient and only go up 5 lbs.
There was this weird stretching contraption at this new gym that i went to today. Looked like a squat rack but with random bars everywhere. I made fun of it, but then ended up doing some insane stretches for my lower back/hip (still fucked)

Thanks and yes I found a gym yesterday while exploring a town outside of the park and spontaneously decided to work out. It's a bit far to go often but I figure Ill go maybe once a week to squat.

Wrist roller (PVC on barbell) 25 lbs
Up + down for about 5 minutes straight.
I was aiming for 5 x 5 with 60 for the PP. I'm pretty bummed I couldn't do it :icon_neut and I thought this was a volume PR but I just searched this thread...and I was wrong. Shucks.
I wanted to do some kind of lower body stuff but I went on a strenuous 8-10 mile hike yesterday and my glutes/quads are fried. I might have to stick to cycling for the next week instead of hiking. My feet are really fucked up. Came home with my big toe bleeding, one swollen/very painful toe and also trench foot from all of the hiking in the rain.

I was feeling strong and ready to 5x5 60 and then hurt my wrist first set. The weight was going up real easy but my wrist was throbbing in pain. I tried to push through it but the last thing I need is another injury.

lol thanks and it's not as cool as it sounds. I have renamed the push press because I hate doing it and probably wouldn't do it if not for this competition.
