Hey just wondering, i've been doign weighted pull ups for a while now, and was wondering if i should do weighted chin ups instead or something. I'm doing it 2x a week currently. will be changing my routine from 3x a week to 2x a week, probably getting bench press and pullups on one workout and then shoulder press and chinups/pullups on another.

thoughts?

cheers

depends. want more work for your biceps and don't want to do curls, or just pulling more weight cause it makes you feel like a badass*? go with chin-ups. want more work for your back, or working towards doing a muscle-up? go with pull-ups.

but if you just want general work for your upper body with no particular goal in mind, D4 is right. it doesn't really matter.

*no judgment, it feels cooler to use more weight and you're not really likely to hurt yourself doing it.

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they started a really fucking stupid argument on the internet,
and I didn't speak out because why bother?

Then the argument took over what was once a good thread,
and I got pissed and said "shut up."

no work today so went before lunch, but workout cut off by FRANKENSTORM. 

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: elbows during squatting again, but not as bad, but still weird
FATIGUE: low

- warm up

- depth jump 2 x 5

- ME MR half tuck 3 x 5

- ME pogo 1 x 5

- squat 310 x 3,3,3
easy-peasy

- that's it

this storm is getting crazier but still not at WTF levels. we'll see what happens. fingers crossed and wood knocked against the power going out. come on, neighborhood trees. hold your shit together.

nice job on the 30's.

also, gaining weight = gaining some fat. if the mirror test is still okay and you can still fit in your pants then don't worry about it. you haven't gained THAT much weight, anyway.

LBSS, how do you like the squats being alternated with the jump squats?  I have never tried them together that way and was wondering how your experience is with them so far.

meh, i'm kind of ambivalent about them. haven't done them long enough yet to see about any kind of adaptations from them. it occurred to me that i should mix in unloaded standing jumps but this is the way adarq wrote it up, so i'm going to stick with it for a while.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: toes a little

the church had used the court for something and the hoops were still up. que se a vaya a la chucha nuestra senora de las americas.

- DL bound 5 x 5
just about half court each time, which is pretty terrible. unsure why.

- ME MR half tuck 5 x 5

- ME pogo 3 x 5
