My Grandfather walked to work in carpentry everyday around 7 or 8 miles each way and lived to be exactly 100. A great exercise in the contests I have entered thats all the cardio I did just dropped cals and walked it worked.

I like to superset too as you know  chest+back work very well. although itīs 2 big muscle Groups i like the intense work and afterwards you feel great ! the plus side is if you miss a shoulder+arm workout itīs not so bad. Dips,push ups ,flys...chin ups,bb rows,upright rows. Itīs all hit well.

Visited my orthopedic doctor today. In checking how my knee was doing, he commented that I have very strong and muscular hamstrings. And here I always thought they were weak. 

Guess I am doing as well as can be expected considering how long it's been since the surgery. The doctor recommended I start taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin because it helps build fibrous tissue in the joints. I always thought it was just a scam.

Tomorrow begins week 5 of physical therapy. I wonder if I'll be doing squats while standing on that half beach ball thing again. If you've never tried this, you should. It seems physically impossible and yet it isn't.

More medical news. Had a small nose operation yesterday, since I suffer from sleep apnea. Everything went fine, no heavy bleedings or pain, other than my low blood glucose level, but I was prepared on that with gummy bears.
I'm not allowed to train for a week. Well, that's fine with me. Then I will walk for an hour each day and use my forearm gripper.

My first and last workout this week:

Chest:
Flat DB flyes
Decline DB press, emphasis in the stretch
Incline DB flyes

Tris:
Seated DB tricep extentions with bands
Stranding DB kick backs with bands

Quads:
Leg extentions
Leg presses
Leg abductors

Forearm extensors:
Reverse DB wrist curls

Cardio:
20 min interval training (HIIT) on an ergometer

BTW, I use my Manus thick grips more and more, love them! (no spam )



Happy training!

COOL GRIPS ,,,I never use grips/gloves but sometimes if I grip  hard on a dbell a heavy one 80 and over,my pinky finger blows up and bruises to the knuckle the back side of it and it takes a day for the blueness/purple hue to drop .

Sounds painful! Grabbing 80 pounders with those grips requires an 'iron grip', but you can also try chamois sponges like these.



I can't remember the last time that I wore training gloves, they never felt comfortable.

Front squats after 3 leg movements, nice example of pre exhaustion, damn!

Yeah, pipe isolation is much cheaper, but it will prob lose it shape after a -short- while, esp with heavy loads. These grips are made of dense silicone. The Manus grips are much cheaper than Fat gripz, at least here in Europe, 20 vs 40 Euros.
