Lol, I just realized the 40 pound jump from my last volume session. Meant to do less than that, but it felt okay so whatever.

Also, I don't like not doing upper body, or relegating it to circuit-type stuff. Going to add an upper day at least once per week and will probably do some light cardio or whatnot on that day. Maybe right after volume day. Tonight, going to do snatch practice (last session) and, I guess, some OHP and DB rows.

Also, I'll be out of the country from 3/18-4/3. Hotel is fancy as shit (chairman of our board owns it so we get discounts), so I hope the gym is adequate. The place is down the street from the national sports complex, so may try to figure that out. Probably won't have time, though.

Need to be sure I have a solid plan before I leave, just making note of it now.

How big is Thorkildsen? I know javelin throwers aren't as big as weight throwers, but still, anyone approaching normal size(i.e. not tiny gymnast size with colossal arms) doing an iron cross is unreal.

Hes 6'3-6'4 and 200lbs

Let's say one reaches an upper body physique and strength level they are satisfied with.  Would doing push ups and chinups/pullups with BODYWEIGHT only like every other day be enough to maintain that muscle mass/physique and strength in the upper body?

A freaking useless question.

What physique level is the person satisfied with? Manny Pacquiao? Brad Pitt in Fight Club? Tommy Jeffers? Ronnie Coleman?

What physique level did the person start out with? Super skinny? Lean and muscular? Burly, i.e. chubby but with solid muscle underneath? Straight-up fat?

Adarq, I notice that you use to squat outside by yourself. Did you ever have any accidents?

LOL

yeah but big upper body and tiny legs makes you look like a fucking idiot.

That is a physical (observable) characteristic of some of the top sprinters in the world: Broad shoulders, narrow hips, relatively long, skinny legs.

touche. allow me to revise my statement: big upper body and tiny legs makes you look like a fucking idiot unless you are a demonstrably ridiculous athlete, e.g. a world-class sprinter.

Well there are many benefits.

For one, squats build core strength. Secondly, the power you get (whole body power) is still hip initiated in general, and core generated/managed. Thirdly, a good leg strength base is the foundation on which upperbody is based on in terms of good stability for good power generating. And quartedly, the more lean muscle in general you have the more irradiation effect you have.

Where I'm going here is sports. If you do pullups/chinups/pushups etc just for the sake of good looking, then all I said is pretty much nullified.
