Under the advice of a guy who competes regularly in
the Scottish Highland Games and the International
Strongman's Competition, I have decided to only
deadlift twice a week instead of my original plan of
three times a week. He said it's just too much of a
shock on the ol’ central nervous system to deadlift
that frequently. I'll turn Tuesday into a variety
day. On that note, here's today’s workout:
Warm up with 45# cleans (learning the form and practicing this lift for warm-ups)
3 supersets:
3 reps per side Captains of Crush #1.5 gripper
5 reps per side pinch grip (using ironmind block) 20#
30 sec. hang on Eagle Loops
1 min rest
3,2,1,1 pull-ups 45 sec. rest between sets.
5 reps 55# side press
rest 1 min.
5 reps 45# side ress
rest 1 min.
3 reps per side 45# barbell windmills
write this blog entry, shower, get some sleep!
P.S. I know this has turned into my Workout of the Day blog and that could be pretty boring. I am working on several longer pieces of writing to spice things up and I am still collecting links for Links of the Week. More variety coming soon, I promise!

3,2,1,1,1 pull-ups
5 @ 265# deadlift
5 @ 245# X 4 deadlift
5 per side @ 55# side press
5 per side X 4 sets @ 45# side press
Going to do strength on Sun, Tues, and Thurs and do conditioning on Mon, Wed, Fri. Sat off. Tired of carrying around this extra body fat. Used the same method the military uses that has been correlated with the water-dunk method and the caliper method, but you don't need any equipment except a tape measure to figure your body fat percentage. If it's accurate enough for the Navy SEALS, it's accurate enough for me. You can find the method and the calculator here.
My measurements today:
Neck: 16"
Waist: 37" (measured at your navel, not where you wear your pants)
Height: 71"
Body fat: 21% (yeah, that's why I'm starting the intense six-days-a-week hardcore attack on fat!)
5 @ 265# deadlift
5 @ 245# X 4 deadlift
5 per side @ 55# side press
