I Pick Things Up and Put Them Down

Oh, and I swing things, too.














Thank goodness I don't look like the Planet Fitness guy! I do love that commercial, though.

I barely broke a sweat today even though I moved nearly 40,000 lbs.

Circuit - 23 min. - 6 Rounds - 39,776 lbs.

1 Arm Rows - 12 kg
Left - 88 reps, Right - 88 reps
5476 lbs.

Swings - 160 lbs.
220 reps = 35,200 lbs.
Density and Volume PR - I did sets of 20 reps. Sunday I did sets of 17. I might be ready to add more weight. I'll be swinging 200 lbs. soon.

I'll close out my post with a picture of Adam Glass pulling 527 lbs. on the Plateau Buster, the magnificent device made by Ryan Pitts of Stronger Grip that allows me to swing a lot of weight. (I don't have any pics of me with my Plateau Buster. Might need to change that.)

A Quickie but a Goodie

Training session #3 for the week. I'm shooting for 4. I need to increase my weekly volume if I want to lose more weight. Today's volume was 36,600 lbs.

1 Arm Inverted Rows - 6 minutes
Left - 60 reps, Right - 60 reps

Swings - 160 lbs. - 12 minutes
180 reps = 28,800 lbs.

When I reflect on today's training, I'm very pleased that I got in that much volume. I was feeling pretty apathetic about training. I didn't let that stop me. I had the time carved out, so I went and did it anyway. I did the drills that tested best, and, of course, I felt great after finishing.

That, my friends, is the beauty of gym movement. If you follow your body, it will lead you to better. Yes. It is as simple as that.

I'm kind of dreading the day swings don't test well. My volume will drop significantly unless I am able to do another big lift like deadlift or cleans. Oh well. It will happen.
