Bungee cord training.

Obvious Gimmick · « **Reply #251 on:** April 07, 2020, 05:33:19 PM »

30 minute bungee. A little bit of everything but mostly bis and delts. I also ordered some resistance bands. Hopefully 10 days in mail.

3 mile swift walk. It's raining here so the only other person in the park was the lady who lives there. She didn't appear too worried about the Rona at all.

Thanks again nat

2.5 mile walk. Took the bungees to the park and bungees it out whil I was working. Pretty good work out. Bout 40 minutes all together

Obvious Gimmick · « **Reply #257 on:** April 13, 2020, 06:16:43 PM »

45 minute walk. Guessing about 3 miles (forgot my phone) combined with bungee workout and air squats

Obvious Gimmick · « **Reply #258 on:** April 14, 2020, 01:42:29 PM »

40 minute bungee/walk combo. More cardio than anything I suppose. But keeping the muscles moving

IroNat · « **Reply #259 on:** April 16, 2020, 03:56:37 AM »

Nice going.

Some standard braided ones from Home Depot. Seems like I can get a decent shoulder workout with them. Chest I do push ups. Chin ups for back. It's ok but f'ing monotonous.

Resistance bands are supposed to arrive tomorrow, none too soon

Obvious Gimmick · « **Reply #264 on:** April 22, 2020, 09:58:42 PM »

3 mile jog today.

Obvious Gimmick · « **Reply #265 on:** April 25, 2020, 07:23:14 AM »

Looks like GB is back up. 3 miles a day the past couple of days and some bungees. Resistance bands have not arrived, but jeff bezos assures me they are on the way

Remember the old Solo Flex rubber band machine? I could never afford one when I was younger and I wanted it bad. A year or two ago I was shocked to find they are still in business. The biggest shock was the price.

I wanted a solo flex bad too. The commercials made it look like the must have of the decade

Yeah, they are not giving Soloflex away. I like the retro machine with what looks like a wood butcher block style bench. It occurs to me there is some similarity in principal between the weight straps and I elite bands I bought because they both combine resistance bands/straps with a bar or something else solid. Of course the Soloflex is much more comprehensive.

Some interest titbits about Soloflex. It is still being manufactured in Hillsboro, Oregon. Scott Madsen, who was a high school gymnast prior to modeling for Soloflex may still live in Vancouver, Washington (just across the Columbia river from Portland). In 2010 he was sentenced to two years in prison for embezzling $250 G from his uncle's small mortgage company. Rumor was that he was gay, but I've also read that he was straight and hated being a gay icon.

Jerry Wilson is still the CEO of Soloflex. In 2009 he announced his intent to run for governor of Oregon. He wasn't elected. Jerry seems to have a really colorful history.

I am already slipping in this log. But I’ve been consistent in the gym

Today shoulders
Seat DB press (heavy) 4x6
Side laterals pulley 3x10
DB front raises 2x15
Upright row (smith machine) 3x10
I was going to end it here but then a yoga pants queen came in so
Rear delts pulley 3x8
Barbell shrugs 2x20

Consistency at the gym is more important than logging your work outs.

I gather while working your rear delts and doing shrugs you were able to observe the 'yoga pants queen' unobstructed.
