Whereas I was completely serious about the kamehameha wave :rolleyes:

Nice vids BTW
 
just asking because you're on sherdog ALOT. september is still the month though eh?
 
At the moment I'm writing my project up, so i'm just sat at my computer all day, I have sherdog open in the backgreound and just flick backwards and forwards when fed up og work.
 
Two legs bad. no legs good

Lowerbody work was attempted today, but was utterly dhite, no idea why but couldn't lift anything worth mentioning.

Bench (all paused):
60 (132) x3
70 (155) x3
80 (176) x3
90 (198) x3
100 (220) x3
110 (242) x3​
3-Board press:
110 (242)
120 (264)
130 (286)
137.5 (303) x2​
Horizontal pullups x 3 sets of some

Now it gets weird:

I now started doing a fun little excercise where I did a pull up and then leaned away from the bar so that I ended up in a front lever with my arms straight and then lowered to a hang. Was concentrating on moving slowly and holding the lever position for a second or two. Couple of sets of these.

Reverse lateral raises - bands attached to the top of the powerrack, then doing a back-to-front lateral raise. Sort of a way of working up to crosses without ripping my shoulders out of joint.

Next I moved the bands to the front of the rack and was doing what can only be described as a band ed muscle up kneeling at the bottom of the rack.

A bunch lateral raises, front raises and some cuban presses.

20 rep over head squats with just the bar - nearly bloody killed me, i'm doing this again and building slowly.

One handed pinch - two 45s lifted with both hands, held at lockout and then lowered with one.

Two handed pinch - built up to 167lbs, tried to go for 178 but felt the skin in the web of my thumb start to give and thought better of it.
 
Got an e-mail through from the guy who runs FBBC, apparently my bender's bag has been shipped and should be heree in 5-10 days. Looking forward to getting to test myself against some steel where I know the strength.

It might take me a little while, I bent an 8mm steel bar yesterday, unfortunately I'd had to cheat kink it first with some pipe, still it gives you a major mental edge to know that if it gives you can finish it. I've actually got pretty damn painfull bruises where the nail sat.
who's happy shopper?
Actually that should be 'what's happy shopper?'. Happy shopper is a brand that died out in England in the mid-nineties, they made sweets and it was mostly sold at little corner shops, so it has a nostalgic place in the hearts of anyone in their early twenties.

It's a quote from a Dizzee Rascal (English rapper) track called 'fix up look sharp'
 
Built some parallettes yesterday, been playing on them since, working on l-sits, working from a tuck-sit to a tuck planche and to a tuck handstand.
 
Parrallettes? Those sound cute. Got any pics?

Just 40mm PVC pipe, and a bunch of pushfit connectors, took me all of 15 minutes to put together with a hacksaw, was under

I'd make a joke about written communication being invented relatively late in your life, but that's getting a bit old (geddit?).

These parallettesa re suprisingly stable, can much about on them without them shifting at all.
