saw my first ever burpee-pullup


I did a pipeline job over in Hattiesburg, MS about 6 or 7 years ago. I usually take my gi and go train at a BJJ school if I am working there for any extended period of time and found a sister Gracie school to train at. Every dude I rolled with had crazy cardio and I had to ask what they did. Burpee-pullups was like #1 on their list. I mean they could crank out 20 at a time. I could do maybe 10 max then and I was about to pass out. Obviously, I do them now too and they work.

Add 7.5 to that press next time. Enjoy the high rep squats and the muscle that's comes with it.

Back Squat:
Every 2:30 for 4 rounds starting with 60% of 1RM and building by 20 lbs each set.
185 x 6
205 x 6
225 x 6
245 x 6

I haven’t done more than five reps on squats outside of BW and warm ups in a hot minute (and usually I decrease to 3 reps) so that last set was surprisingly a killer for me.

Brutal one today. Coached a soccer game and went to the gym already dragging. I thought pressss would’ve improved after resetting from 142.5 but I still struggled.

Press - 130 - 5/5/6
Ez Curl - 45 - 12/12
Dips - BW+17.5 - 8/8
Squats - 265 - 5/5/6

Only slept 5 hours. Need to correct that.

Looks like a fun workout. What program are you on?

No lifting today. Did a 7 mile run this morning.

Legs felt like trash today. Stayed up too late last night watching the Pelicans game and drinking and woke up today early for a run. Killed off the hangover quickly but the run sucked.

No program right now. This was written on the board at my gym from a workout earlier this week that I missed. I usually do a 5/3/1 concept, so this changed it up.

Knocked out another chest session yesterday. Felt better but didn't bump anything up. Think I probably could have banged out 8 reps on my first working set but didn't have a spotter so took it easy. Will prob up my 225 bench to 235 next time and see what happens.

BB Bench Press
135 x 12 x 1
225 x 6 x 2
185 x 10 x 1
135 x 14 x 1

Seated Incline Chest Press
90 x 10 x 2
90 x 8 x 1

Decline Cable Fly
25 x amrap x 3

Weighted Dips (45 lb plate)
10 x 2
7 x 1 (burned out that last set )

Usually weighted dips hurt my shoulder but I had absolutely no pain yesterday, which was nice. Really felt it in the pecs.

Celebrated international chest day. Paused bench up to 240x3 giant setted with band rows and crucifix holds. 4 giant sets of 90 lb weighted dips up to 97 lb, TRX curls and JM presses.

Farmers Walks, 4 sets with 250 lb per hand. Then supersets of arm over arm rope pulls and 200 lb sandbag carries.

I'm starting back tomorrow!

Going to switch out back squats with SSB for awhile so my shoulders and elbows take a break.

Coach has me doing 3x a week

Squat and deadlift day 1
Bench day 2
Upper back day 3

I'm going to throw in some bodybuilding movements for stability.

Hitting walls...

BP - 215 (5/5/4) first fail
EZ Curl - 45 (2x12)
Dips - 20 (2x8)
Squat - 270 (5/5/6)

Going to have to go to a different Y for morning cardio. There's a dude on the treadmill that I can smell as soon as I walk in the door. Not the way to start the day...

Overhead press

3 x 8 @ 60 lbs, could only get 6 reps last set

Finally added barbell bench to my routine

3 x 10 @ 115 lbs. I feel like I'll be able to do more next session. I didn't want to push it since it's new to my routine

Did some other barbell work and counterweight assisted dips

Keep at it brother. Don’t forget the squat and deadlift. I’m older than you and somehow haven’t crippled myself with those dangerous lifts.

Volume squats. 5 rounds of 5 banded box squats (225 to 255 with 100-130 of band tension) weighted GHR's, weighted ab wheel and reverse hyper.

Finished with 3 sets of sled dragging for cardio. Our second day over 100 degrees and the heat was getting me a little.

I'm really hesitant to get into it because I have scoliosis and I'm concerned that will generate poor form by default

It's not an age thing for me
