I start with swings using a T-handle. My goal was 100 reps, but I upped by my usual weight by 10 pounds so at 70 I failed. I finished with 3 sets of 10 reps with a 5 breath break between each. Then onto the Power Wheel roll-out. Last time I hit 25 reps, my goal, so today I increased the distance by one inch. I did 10 reps with a 5 count hold in the extended position. Then did a 60 second hold in the extended position for good measure. Then onto a 4 minute full bridge. Finally I finished with 10 reps of dive bomber push-ups with hands close, 20 reps of dive bomber push-ups with hands in regular position, 20 reps of Hindu push-ups with hand close, and 25 Hindu push-ups with hand in regular position. All of the push-ups were done without a break in a a mechanical drop-set style. My form was shallow on the dive bombers making them more like Turkish push-ups, but you have to start somewhere. Over time I will improve the depth.

Dumbbell Squat, Pull-ups, Push (pyramids)

August 17, 2018August 18, 2018 old natty 2,085 Comments

The over all structure/sequence of this workout is Dumbbell squats, pull-ups, & push movements. I went through the sequence three times. Dumbbell squats were done in straight set fashion. As always, my goal was to work with the least amount of rest as needed. The pulls-up sets were done in 5 rest-pause mini-sets style, changing hand position each mini-set w/ 15 seconds rest between mini-sets. And the push movements were done in a pyramid structure with a 15 second rest between levels. My goal with the push pyramids was to get to level 10 before coming down. The first push movement was dumbbell presses. Since I could adjusts the weight quickly I changed the bells up or down so each level was as close to maximal effort as possible. The push movement for the second circuit was dips. Since weight adjustments would have slowed me down here I stayed constant with body weight plus a 10 pound weight vest. I made it to level 9 before coming down. In the last circuit the push movement was push-ups. Since, like dips, weight adjustment would slow me down I kept body weight plus 10 pound weight vest and adjusted my hand position, from harder to easier and back as needed. So each set was maximal. As far as the video goes I just pulled out the transitions and high points. It was too long for youtube, and would have been boring for you.
