Monday July 25 Ran to the lakefront ~4 miles. Did bodyweight routine. Tried some different pull-up exercises today. Tried to pull-myself up, under and then over the top of pull-up bar. I basically did a pull-up but on the pull-up phase I did a pike position. Then, I kicked my legs forward & up over the pull-up bar until the bar was at my waist. Finally, I swung myself around on top of the bar and extended my arms. Took a few tries but I finally got it. Check it out in link below.
New goal: to pull-up and extend arms above the bar...i.e...pull-up until the bar is waist-height. So far, can do just shoulder-height. Still have some work to do.
Followed this with 2 sets of chin-ups to failure, 2 sets of triceps to failure, incline leg lifts to failure, and some jumps onto a park bench for fun. Pretty good workout...a later one and feeling kinda sluggish and not really wanting to workout today. Biceps feel pumped and more toned. Total workout time = 1hr:24min.
Here's a link that motivated / inspired me today from Tom Greenwald's YouTube page. Also includes the reverse pull-up to arm extension I mention above. Note this guy does advanced routines...not really for a beginner.
