Wish I could do chinups/pullups like that. Only a matter of time.

Todays workout
Squat 5/5/5/5/5 235lbs
Over Head Press 5/5/5/5/5 130lbs
Pullup/chinup 5/7/4

Cut my workout due to my oldest getting a "super citizen" award at school so I was short on time.
Im having trouble adding to my overhead press and am lost on what to do.
Squats are going well again and the knees are feeling better on my off days.
thought for the day is...."bananas are cheap" (58 cents per pound)

Nice squats man that is a good accomplishment. The oh press is tough I stalled at 50lbs that would be my second workout with it. I got past that though and did 55lbs with out to much of a problem battle through it and you will get it.

Keep adding, you'll be ok. Oh press is tough exercise, it's normal.
Did you do pull-ups or chin-ups?

by **scooterdad** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 1:43 am

I do both pull ups and chin ups
alternate my sets between the two

What do you think of doing pull-ups for 3 sets one workout, then chin-ups for 3 sets the other workout?

by **scooterdad** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 8:08 am

I think it would help
whats your thinking on this???

by **Mehdi** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 1:33 pm

I think you should alternate pull-ups & chin-ups every workout

I think we should see if HR will get us wobble boards for our desks and a power rack for the gym.

yesterdays work out
Squat 5/5/5/5/5 255lbs
Bench press 5/5/5/5/5 165lbs
dead lift 5 185lbs
Power clean 5 45lbs
chinups 5/3/3
turkish getups 5left 5right 25lbs
Mondays are good workout days for me as it is my day off so no need to hurry.
I really would like to switch to power cleans and drop squats or the dead lift but I am having issues with my form.
Halp

That squat is killer, especially for your size. I can't wait to get up to 255, let alone whatever weight is proportionately compareable to my own size.
As for halp... sorry man, I've thrown out my workout customizations in favor of listening to mehdi. What form issues have you had? You don't have the benefit of having workout partners so maybe take some video with your camera?
