Fitness "Spartan" Beckerhead GAW discussion thread.

Well. I did 70 pushups last night and 60 reps straight with 20 lb weights and then put in a few more good pulls (reps). I did a good bit of heavy lifting today as well. I have been dieting lately, and lost a couple pounds. I am trying to cut down to 160. I think I am about half way there so far. I think I'll give that 100 pushups thing a try.
 
So two days ago I ran for an hour and a half on the running machine continuous.
Yesterday I chipped and brush and logs for two hours and ran for an hour and ten minutes but took a fifteen minute break half way through.
My cardio is feeling better. I think I'll start putting in at least an hour of cardio per day as well as my lifting and crunches. I pretty much dove straight into cardio instead of building up to it. When I got off the machine I was so tired that I felt fatigued walking up the stairs. I'll keep to it.
 
Did day 2, week 3 of 100 push-ups....couldn't make the max of 19 tho, failing after 17. Gonna try and video day 3, maybe someone can help me out technique-wise. Never had good wrist flexibility and seem also to have some impingement in my shoulders....thinking about the "perfect push-up" handles or maybe something else that doesn't hurt my wrists, at least. Anybody here have experience with stuff like that?
 
I have a set. They are great for keeping your wrists straight and getting down lower for a longer range of motion through your rep. If you get pain from keeping your wrists bent for normal push-ups, this fixes it. The spinning motion assists in giving you more options for hitting different muscle groups. Also depending on your placement, you can emphasize different muscle groups in your push-up form. As far as your shoulder, the only things I can really think of is hand placement and form. Ever had an injury to the shoulder? is it stabbing pain? or does it feel like its ripping when doing the exercise?

They have been sitting in the corner of my basement next to my bench press (that I don't have enough weights for). Maybe next week I'll try a day with them.

I'm currently stuck on week 6 day 3 column 3. I can do the work out, but can't finish the max at the end. Maybe switching it up for a week will help.
 
Yesterday I walked almost seven miles and did 100 sit-ups, the day before that I walked seven miles as well.
A total of fourteen miles in two days. I am feeling healthier with all this cardio.
 
More pushups yesterday and a pretty intense workout with 20lb weights. I did curls and must have done about 200 reps.
 
Good job Zema. FYI, everyone else is posting in the other thread. Not sure if you want to join the party there or not...
