Alanna Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 New toys arrived on time for chin ups tomorrow (and free chalk with them)! Nice! Let me know how the banded chin-ups go. I have a thick green one that I want to try using for assisted pull-ups. I also want to get some thinner ones for upper body mobility work. 1 Quote -:- THE LIONESS -:- Challenge 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 Link to comment
AugustaAdaByron Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Nice! Let me know how the banded chin-ups go. I have a thick green one that I want to try using for assisted pull-ups. I also want to get some thinner ones for upper body mobility work. Will do! I got the purple, black, and green for the chin-ups/pull-ups. Even though upper body mobility work is not on the current training plan that's also why I bought the orange one. 1 Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment
AugustaAdaByron Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Workout from Thursday 16/4 Front Squat 20kg x1030kg x535kg x338kg x5x5 They felt hard. Romanian Deadlift 30kg x538kg x5x5 OHP 15kg x1020kg x524kg x524kg x3x324kg x2 I considered doing a few extra sets to make up for the lost volume as it was supposed to be 5x5@24kg but it'd take too much time to recover between sets and leave me too tired for chin ups. However, I'm still very happy with how it went since I haven't done any OHP systematically in months (maybe 3 or 4 times in total). Chin Ups Black band (45kg) x5x5 I tried the purple band (65kg) but it kept pushing me up before I even had the chance to do start doing a chin up. It's a pity I didn't record that. It would provide lots of laugh. Side plank 45sec each side x3 1 Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment

AugustaAdaByron Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I almost forgot. I was standing while riding the bus today so I thought I'd lean on one of its sides. This had as a consequence my back to lean on one of the horizontal side rails and when that happened I felt a pain radiating from that spot to my bum. I tried to locate the pain with my hand inside the bus but I didn't feel any kind of pain unless I leaned on the rail. That was very weird because normally I don't feel any pain. I tried to locate the area again at home but not with great success. Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment

AugustaAdaByron Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I'm surprised there's still someone who reads my battle log! Thanks! Or you may be getting strong It was suggested that I start having my knee in the band instead of my foot to get less help from it so maybe. In general, I think I'm starting to get back to where I was strength-wise only with better form. 1 Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment

It was suggested that I start having my knee in the band instead of my foot to get less help from it so maybe. In general, I think I'm starting to get back to where I was strength-wise only with better form. I haven't been on NF much recently, but I try to check in regularly . Better form is a big improvement! It may be less tangible than having more weight on the bar, but it's still great progress--and it will translate to bigger lifts in the end . 1 Quote -:- THE LIONESS -:- Challenge 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 Link to comment

After I started failing reps I though I'd switch to 25kg and try to make up for the volume. That didn't work either. But still I'd never pressed 26kg before today and had only managed 3 slow reps with 25kg so I guess it's still progress.
