Matt Brouse Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 I love the rower. I'm not man enough to go longer than 3k, though. And I usually punk out at 2k anyhow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I love the rower. I'm not man enough to go longer than 3k, though. And I usually punk out at 2k anyhow... Imo, 1k and 2k are the hardest distances as they require hard pulling and some stamina. The only thing that I've found comparible, probably harder, to a C2 rower was the versaclimber.

Matt Brouse Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Word. As far as "cardio" equipment goes I'll take those two, a stepmill and a jacob's ladder. Too easy to kid yourself on most everything else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusom1 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Nice job at the grip comp. I know you got more in you. Never seen some of those events, like the rim lift -- cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out some recent videos. 4-7-2012 Yoke up to 570 for 40ft (inside still, lame)... wicked easy but I was all like yawning and like just like tired... called this good for the day. New Rolling Thunder up to 185 Left and 210 Right Hub Pinch 45 x 7 Right, 25 x 10 Left, random curls and clean and presses with the 25, several attempts at passing it hand to hand... Plate Pinch 25's x 10 hula's Some other stuff, I think. This: http://youtu.be/Jf-A2YqTC4k This too (bitch out included): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Brouse Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 I need to get a clearer detail of my PRs in certain lifts so periodically I will just post a few here so I can reference back to compile my spreadsheet... since I'm thinking on them right now: DO Axle Deadlift 385x1 352x5 303x9 253x20 Goals to those number for 2012 should probably be: 405x1 380x5 340x10 303x20 Hmm.

Matt Brouse Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 4-20-2012 Concept II Rower 2,000m 8:30, Average heart rate was 169. Not as close to death as your average healthy heart would have been. No PR here, crapped out with about 250m to go. 4-21-2012 Farmer's Walk 40ft. 115, 205, 255 - right lat felt like it was going to tear off.. so I stopped. Yoke 40ft 390, 570, 660 - nothing too heavy yet, still getting the supporting structures back good with the work... Jerk Behind Neck topped at 320 for 1... meh. Inch Dumbbell Very near miss at cleaning the 150 Inch Replica, 2 or 3 high pulls with each hand, belly height or better. Right 172 x 5 Left 150 x 5 Alternated back and forth on that set. Easily a PR for both hands. Old liftime PR on the inch reps was 4 me thinks. One extra rep on each later on. Yo. 3" Axle DO Deadlift 130x1, 180x1, 220x1, 250x1, 265x1, 275xpassed the knees, but not quite. Yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
