Can’t tweet yet (unfortunately, I want that prize badly!) because I don’t have the Training Log to back up my PRs!

But good news, I started one today in the ever useful Google Docs. Set up tracking for exercise reps, sets, resistance, time taken, density and PRs set. Am I missing anything that anyone could suggest?
PR reporting will start soon when I’ve set more base-lines. Looking forward to it!

Wed PR – Buttoms up press 40kg right arm for 3 singles. BUP left arm 36kg for 3 singles. This came on a day that nothing really tested good except this and bending. Also bent 3- red nails after starting the bend reverse style and finishing them dbl overhand. Washed it sown with steak at supper with Adam.

Mike,
I agree with every part of your post. I feel like I’ve wasted alot of great enthusiasm and power by spending years overdoing and overusing movements in the gym, not to mention nearly getting injured ALOT. I really wanted results, just didn’t quite know how to get them. Nice work!

In my own situation i am becoming good understanding when it is time to stop a certain movement i feel something regress ,and then i test it and this week my instinct has been right because i loose the rom and shut it down i really lovin this stuff it makes so much sense to me and my body.

Things i cannot help but comment on after such a productive week
1 establish a base range and listen to your body i learned to test after almost every rep, becoming a habit i shake out then test.
2. I do much better with this method of testing everything, i think back a year when i would randomly want to achieve a set # of say pullups in a day and never hit them, fast forward till tuesday and i did 25 reps at 235 pounds in 10 minutes no shaking , kipping, jumping ,singing none of that just deadhang chest to bar. And perhaps most important no hangover no soreness at all.
3. i Trust myself and am really listening to myself and the movement methods. This week my body gave me three productive days last week it was just two. Also learned everything is just a tool kb, db, barbell, body it is how it test

adam, where did you get that dip bar in your video? I have low ceiling in my basement looks like its a solid piece of equiptment. I notice your training more clubs lately, has it been making a difference in the shoulders.
