Reading this Chart:

  • R = Reps
  • S = Seconds
  • NC = No Chair Assist
  • C = Chair Assist
  • RL = Right Leg
  • LL = Left Leg
  • W = Weight

Legs so far is pretty much the same, I would like some lighter weight, it’s not easy to do some of it with the 20’s and it’s not that I can’t handle the weight, it’s balance on some of them, like step back lunge, it’s not easy to balance some times. Now I still brought it for sure.

Now check out the pulls ups, oh man, they are getting better, what a start 11 pull ups WOOHOO!, before I use to have problems with the pull ups and I never really looked forward to routines that contained pull ups, now I can’t wait to do them. I tell you that hang time that I use, is really really helping me big time, I feel my back sore, therefore it is working, so that is so awesome.

The last thing here I will mention today is the 80/20 Cyber speed squat, I do the 15 normal and 15 jumping, it’s like a bit of plyo here.

I will say after all the work I did today and a workout like this, it is awesome, especially those pull ups, I think I would mention that I did a total of 71 pull ups and this coming from a guy who started doing pull ups only in the last 3 weeks of my first round so basically a month ago, I was doing 0 pull ups and now a month later after I found out what helped me, 71 in a routine, I am really proud of myself, I am planning on possibly creating some videos with some tips that have helped me get to where I am, will take some time, plus I have to wait till I have the time LOL but let me know if this would be something that interest you.

Reading this chart:

  • Last column is the difference in reps since the last time I did this workout:
    • Green = More Reps than last time
    • Red = Less Reps than last time
  • F = Forward
  • R = Reverse
  • RS = Right Side
  • LS = Left Side

Alright, I decided to increase in & out again, so I did 70 to begin with, to try and get a quick burn. I will mention that both in & out and seated bicycles I keep my hands lifted.

Again I kept my legs crossed on crossed leg/wide leg sit ups, and I felt it, it’s tough since I can’t use my legs to help me get back up but therefore it feels fantastic.

Needless to mention that hip rock and raise and pulse ups I pushed my hips as high as possible, while my head and shoulders were a bit up.

Leg climb, again no climbing of the leg, just getting up and touching the toes.

Mason twist, I was so beat, it’s hard to do ab ripper x after doing legs, your legs really hurt during the first 3 exercises. Well I fell over around 54, so I got back up right away and finished it to 60.

Well today was an awesome workout for sure, tomorrow I have Kenpo X, fun fun fun!! and no, I won’t need no stinking break LOL.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
