I just read your post and thank you (and your wife) so much for the time and effort to write it down and film it. ❤
For sure I’ll incorporate some of the exercises in my training. 100% I’ll buy a bag of rice and do the rice bucket bean fishing thing
And the kettlebell curls with a band wrapped around your thumb looks amazing as well. Will do that the next time I’m working my biceps and I’m fucking excited to see what it feels like. And I have to find something for the leverage lifts. Have to look around my home or in the gym what I’m able to lift. How many reps do you do?
The False grip on rings I’m already when I’m working out with rings, eg on the cross, muscle ups or just ring pull ups.
And doing the rice shit while watching a show is a genius idea and I can see myself doing that, too.
absolutely appreciate your post. You guys are inspiring as shit. And I agree with you this is the best thread on neogaf and I’m happy to see more people posting in here
So glad you've found it helpful. Can't wait to hear what you have to say. Hopefully you didn't miss the card tearing vid as well.
I'll have to make a slight adjustment to the recommended amounts to do weekly for the card tearing I think. I kinda, mighta, maybe over trained my hands making them sore as heck and I also kinda, mighta, maybe ripped off a big chunk of my calloused thumb skin right where the strap and peoples thumbs meat my hand and last arm wrestling practice might have suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked. So, if you ever get up to where it takes you a couple mins to rip through... maybe think about backing off on the amount by like 10 cards or so and adding 2 a week again from there. It's hard for me because I have a high pain tolerance and I'll blast right through something if I'm determined. Then again, none of you arm wrestle so you aren't putting your wrists through the wringer like I do once a week so you could probably get away with it. Depending on what your max is at the start, you might be able to beat me.
As for everything else, I do at least 100 reps and I aim for 3 sets. So find a weight you can do 100 comfortably and then as time goes on and you feel stronger, aim for up to 3 sets. Then after you've got that down and you feel like upping the weight, aim for 1 set of 100 again with the new, heavier weight/resistance. However, for the movements that allow me, I will switch up grips between sets. So if I hammer curled for one set, I'll pronate curl the next, then normal curl. Or just mix it up per rep.
Now, depending on how I feel, I'll either do the same workouts sets sets back to back, or I'll spread the sets for the different workouts out and do other apposing muscle groups or wrist work and then repeat all those again 3 times. I generally don't do more than 3 sets of something that targets a certain muscle group for a session. But I also try to work out 3 times a day since I don't do manual labor at the moment. I count any lengthy heavy lifting or yard work and chores as one of the workouts.
I, like

wait about 4-5 minutes in-between sets.
Here is an example of one of the 3 normal routines these days. (NOTE: I either move on to the next exercise after one set or I'll do all 3 sets for that same movement back to back with the same 5ish minute break. Depending on how I feel.)
I do the stretching. Arms, ankles, wrists and legs.
Table top bicep curls. 100 reps. Pronate curls, hammer curls, normal curls. Keeping my knuckles up. I'll do these for all 3 sets.
up to 5min rest.
Tricep pull downs. 100 reps. I attach a 25 pound band to my rings raised high and do them like that. I can move forward or backwards and hit the muscle at different angles. I can grip it like a single rope, or like two separate. I'll also do these for all 3 sets but in different positions.
up to 5min rest.
Table top bicep static holds. At least 6 minutes. I've explained these pretty well in my last post I think. Depending on how I feel, I'll do these in a very wide range of deviation from the starting position. As in, the weight will be coming from a wide range of angles and I'll perhaps even add a band coming from another angle.
up to 5 min rest.
Wrist curls. 100 reps. Explained as well. I'll sometimes do the cupping carries till failure for one of these 3 sets.
up to 5 min rest.
Leverage lift. 100 reps. As explained before. I'll sometimes throw the finger/bicep lifts in here as well for one of the sets depending on how I feel.
So, 3 of those a day. Every morning I roll out of bed, literally, and do 35 pushups. Before bed these days, I've been feeling really antsy. Especially if I miss one of the workouts. So I'll do a kettle bell routine or and Ido Portal routine to properly burn myself out and to also hit the legs. Did 40 turkish getups, and 200 halo's last Sat. Prob gonna end up hitting 50 getups tonight. We'll see. This week I've been babying my hands so I haven't done too much. But all that freaking energy is calling me something fierce right now.
As the week goes on towards practice I'll up the intensity. Then I'll stop 2 days before practice for now. So I'll have plenty of recovery time before practice.
Oh, and as for legs, I jog on the trampoline a whole lot. On and off all day and whenever I watch a show, if I'm not in the rice bucket, I'm on the tramp. I also try hit legs hard at arm wrestling practice. (Haha, hard for me. I still baby my back even though I might not need to anymore.) Mr. Stapleton has a barbell I squat with. 45 pounds around 50 reps per set. I'll do that on and off throughout the 3 hours.
Hope that helps mate. I can tell you that it certainly has been working for me. My body is transforming for sure. Never felt so confident with a shirt off. Even my wife is giving me looks that I haven't had since when she use to drive from college to my house at 20 miles above the speed limit...
Anyway, I'm off to meet the Wizard of gainz. Keep hitting it boyz.
EviLore linked to me earlier in the thread. I've watched it multiple times and I've rec'd it to ppl in this thread mulitple times.
