The end of the 30 day dip challenge.

Ah, it's sad that my personal 30 day dip challenge is all done. Over the last month I've hit at least 100 dips everyday (ranging from normal dips, to reverse grip dips, to weighted dip, etc.) and many times hit between 200-250. I've seen a good amount of change in overall strength, and specifically pressing strength; as well as better chest, triceps, and upper back development and endurance. Great stuff.

Here's a picture from the last day. Hitting the final 10 dips with bodyweight plus 141 pounds (an 88 pound and a 53 pound kettlebell.).

Looking forward to next week when the back off week is over.

 

The quest for 200 continues

This is awesome.

Four weeks ago, when I started the quest to 200 pounds I weighed in at 182 pounds.

Currently, I'm a larger, stronger, and tighter 191.

Not a bad gain at all. Pretty damn good for only 4 weeks.

A powerful and ripped 200 pounds will be coming soon.

Why Handstand Training?

Why handstand training?

Because, screw gravity, that's why!

Gotta love hitting some good dips and handstand work during the back off week!

Thursday part 2: pull ups

And, the 10th set of pull ups that go along with those dips.

Thursday January 1st 2015 part 1: Dips

Here's the 10th of 10 sets of dips, alternated these with 10 sets of pull-ups. Used bodyweight plus 88 pounds for the dips and got 10 reps on each set. Used bodyweight plus 20 pounds for the pull-ups and got 10 reps on each set. Here's the final set, not the prettiest, but still strong.

Tuesday part 2: leg raises

Felt that the abdominal rollout was going to mess with the hamstring injury too much, so I hit 3 sets of these instead.

Tuesday December 30 part 1: The modified "bear"

After injuring my hamstring on Monday night I knew that the bear was out of the question but I didn't want to hamper my progress so here's my modification: seated 1-arm KB snatches, seated double KB clean and presses and seated double KB cleans.

Here's the 5th of 5 sets.
