| What do you do?
Do you have any exercise-related goals? I've been lifting steadily for 5 1/2 years. Sometimes I improved, sometimes I maintained, sometimes I tried a new routine. And there were a few months of rehab when my shoulders got owey in the bad way. For the past four months, I've been doing CrossFit, which just rocks. It has me working on exercises I'd never bothered with before, like Olympic lifts and rope jumping, and my lifts and bodyweight exercises are steadily improving. I finally did a bar dip to full depth (they used to make my chest hurt disconcertingly) and I recently did 50 chin-ups in 26 minutes. Before CrossFit, I could do that many over the course of a week's workouts. At a bodyweight of 155 pounds or so, I can deadlift 210 pounds, squat 150 below parallel, and bench press 115. My long-term goal is to be able to do the CrossFit daily workouts as prescribed. I have to do the puppy or pack versions posted at Brand X. My more immediate goal is an unassisted muscle-up - a nifty move in which you pull up to and over something. It's similar to jumping up, grabbing the top of a wall, and pulling yourself up without using your legs. |
