Because I can't be bothered to wait
I can do conventional grip pull ups with hands about 1.5 times shoulder width fine on a smith machine bar all the way up.
I was experimenting with the different hand position hand ROM. Having your hands that wide it, for me anyway, it nearly impossible to do more then 2 reps with, hence the 10 kg off.
I will in future try with the same machine thing attempt to do sets of 30 reps with a given weight taken off, then reduce the weight taken off while keeping the reps the same.
I also need to buy another dipping belt so i can do loaded pull ups, but money, she is tight

am run and a few push ups and sit ups before breakfast. the bird gets back tonight from hols so I'm not going to be able to train (well running or anything, I think I'm going to get some pelvic to failure work in tonight).

Yes, I am weak these days. Fuck off, I'll run you into the ground then head kick you with my legs of hurry.
Testing for front squat
5 sets of 6 reps with 40 kg, just working out body mechanics. Interesting, for back squat it seems I have the bar too low down, that might explain some things.
Did some core work because like I thought and had it checked by someone, my lower back is stronger then my abs (which is why I almost GM out of the hole sometimes). Good exercises
Weighted dips
bw for 8
+20 for 6*2 then the final set was *8
Shrugs
8@60
8@80
8@90
5@100, reset grip, 4
35 minute on the bike, doing some prolonged periods at level 9 (out of level 12 total on the bike). The endurance is getting better in the legs I think these days.

More grip training then anything. I've been doing more snatch grip work to see how it carries over to a staggered grip ala dead lifts.
I noticed your romainian deadlifts. Not bad.
I need to see if I can get myself a step or something for extra ROM SLDLs. If in doubt I'll have to get a pile of 20's, but that's not safe to stand on based on experience (the rubber things add to instability and doing 120 on something unstable doesn't come up as a good idea.
I really need to ask if I can use liquid chalk or ask one person when I don't regularly go, find out I can't, then buy some and put it in a water bottle.
Must not get sucked into spending loads of time lifting though. I need more cv work and cutting some weight (and building my anaerobic threshold) then lifting.

For grip you can do bar hangs or set up a barbell with a shitload of weight and just hold it in your hands for as long as possible.
I know what you mean about the plates being unstable, I use them as a platform for shrugs and my feet go over the middle parts which are not flat so it does feel weird but better than nothing I suppose.
Oh yeh I was wondering, if you do a bit of cardio after lifting is it true its better for burning bodyfat, because youve used the glycogen from lifting weights so the body uses fat as fuel? I think Im gonna start doing abit of rowing after weights to trim up abit and get back in cardio shape a little bit too.

Yeah I know about holding the bar, but when doing it it's hard to keep track of the time and that makes it hard to quantify progress ('I think thats about 30 seconds).
A bust knee is worse then nothing
. It would be nice to sneak a step up box out of the studio, but it wouldn't last long.
They say that regarding the glycogen, but I don't know. 'They' say 20-30 minutes after training is enough.
I personally need more cv work but don't want to waste away too much and need more leg strength for the long jump, hence I'm doing it this way around.

Cardio
45 minutes on the eliptical at lvel 14 to 15, finishing the last minute at level 16.
On the bike for 15 minutes, ending up doing some minutes on level 9. I was going to take it easy but my legs felt up to some more so....why not.
Walked some way home to mums to pick up my bike, but jogged the last 2 or so miles.
Got something to eat at about 10.30 (last time I ate before was like 4pm).
Cycled home
I was going to cycle into work but TIRED and a bit sore around the arse.

Everything I've read indicates that ya. There was a thread in Conditioning forum about that and I think it was MadMick or someone else who's opinion I respect confirmed it. This is going of memory though, so you may wanna dig a little further.
