Glex: I've Got Runners Trot

[Natureboypkr]

@GLEX functional strenght is what people call "Real world strenght"
like you may know someone who can do Lat pull downs with let's say 275lbs like 8-10 times but they can't do 10 pull-up with thier bodyweight

 

[Glex]

Tweak: You're a bastard for making me think of pizza two nights ago

Chesty: Oh, I sucked in, don't worry

Nature: Yeah, I was kinda joking, like what real world situation requires lifting yourself off the ground 60 times in a minute? I was also agreeing with you; it definitely plays a role in bodybuilding, if done right. It could also come in handy for survival (I can't pull myself back up this ledge!)

Thanks to everyone who wished me well on the PFT! It was definitely a lot of encouragement, and I thought of it during the run.

Glex's scores:
62 pushups in under 45 seconds
55 situps in under 55 seconds
Mile and a half run: 9:31

I let out a nice loud Ronnie Coleman, "Yeah buddy!" after I finished the run. A lot of people looked at me funny

So, I maxed it once again, all except the waist measurement

Here's how they break down the score, on a 100-point scale:
10 points for a max on pushups
10 points for a max on situps
50 points for a max on the run
30 points for a max on 'body composition' (i.e. waist measurement )

I lost 7.5 points for having a 35 inch waist, so my score out of 100 is 92.5 To show you how jacked up that is, if someone had a 32 inch waist, same score on pushups, same score on situps, and a 10:36 on the run, they would BEAT MY SCORE Also, the max waist measurement is independent of height (<32.5 inches for everyone) I can't put this little disgust face enough

Oh well, I maxed everything that I could, so that looks good on me for the pilot slot stuff Thanks again, everyone! I just started taking creatine again and I'll be lifting with Line regularly again, hopefully starting tonight, so stay tuned

Good stuff on the PFT man, sounds like you demolished it That waist measurement is bullshit though

I let out a nice loud Ronnie Coleman, "Yeah buddy!" after I finished the run. A lot of people looked at me funny

Lol I do that all the time to, I utilise the "Yeah Buddy!" as often as I can

Also, the max waist measurement is independent of height (<32.5 inches for everyone)

That is so shithouse!!!!

So a tub-o-lard that is only 5'5" that is running a whole minute slower than you (which is a long way between people over 10mins, +300m) would still supposedly be better!

Oh well, at least your score is impressive enough overall!

 

[Glex]

Chesty: Ain't nothin' but a penut

Tim: Yeah, it's pretty much the gayest thing ever. Can't you do your thesis or disertation or whatever on that and get them to change their minds? And thanks, it wasn't my best but I'm definitely happy with the score

Line says we'll lift today

 

[Chesticles]

Has he been drinking?

 

[Banshee20]

LOL @ the "Yeah Buddy", thats awesome!

Great scores Glex, very proud of you! That is so lame about the waist thing....I hate how those tests have things all out of perspective. Great job though 9:31 mile and a half is awesome.

Im sure youre glad to have that out of the way, I know I always was. Congrats on the Pilot stuff. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming workouts.

@ Glex my mom wants to break up with you because you always piss on the toilet seat

 

[Glex]

Chesty: What the hell do you think? Actually, he was only drinking Thursday as far as I know. He's had a few tests and things, so it's been a rough week for him.

Banshee: Thanks for the support as always, Bansh!

Nautre: I'm a gentleman; I always aim and put the seat down when I'm done

Line didn't come out today either, but he should tomorrow. Here's what happened today:

Aftermath:
First day on legs and back for a while. Kept it a little easier, but it was still a decent workout. My grip is definitely getting stronger, though the pullups are probably misleading today because the bar was very thin and easy to hold. Today's workout was sponsored by Team America: World Police.

You need a montage! Montage!
Ooo it takes a montaaaaage! Montage!
Always fade out in a montage
If you fade out it seems like more time has passed in a montage
Montage...

Glex with a double post

Nice workout man, big squats. Try a thumb over grip for chins, I think it works better, but thats just me

 

[Glex]

Glex with a double post

I have no idea what you're talking about

 

[FOOTBALL FAN]

some how I seem to have missed your log big session followed with a good bit of cardio, and threw in some supersets

 

[tim290280]

Even Rocky had a Montage!
Montage.

Good effort at giving the weighted pullups a go. I've always found that adding weight is easier than adding reps. But the reps come once you've added the weight.... funny that stronger = more reps.

 

[Banshee20]

And how are the Bash Brother's workouts going for the last couple days??

Banshee

 

[Glex]

FF: No worries, bro! Calf supersets are always killer

Tim: Yeah, that's kinda what I figured. I'm going to start doing weighted pullups more often, even though I can't do that many right now. I'm sure they'll come.

Banshee: They're not Line has been busy, and I've been sick for the past few days. Whatever Sara had is trying to get me, but I'm not letting it get me as bad as she was. Hopefully tomorrow evening Line and I will hit up some upper body. Not sure though

As always, thanks for stopping by, everyone!

 

[Clint]

straps on pullups???? I'm confused, why did you wear straps on pullups?

great session nonetheless however, great rows and squats as always...keep it up

 

[Banshee20]

Awww, that sucks...sorry to hear youre sick! Nothing like passing sickness between loved ones. Take care, hope you heal up quick. Its all about the Airborne.

 

[Natureboypkr]

I see you had a bit of a marathon session there, I bet you brun a lot of calories

 

[Glex]

^^ Straps because my grip is weak

I'm working on it, though. I really don't see anything wrong with using straps to do more pullups. My grip fatigues before my back, so I might as well, especially on weighted pullups which I never tried before. If I get to the point where I can hold on for much longer than I can do pullups, then I won't use 'em. Simple as that.

Squats went up pretty easy...like I said, I probably had one or two more on the last set. But man, were my legs dead the next day! Rows are alright...was more focused on keeping my form, especially since I was helping out my friend who made that lifting program for ROTC. Gotta be a good role model They did feel good, though. Thanks for coming in as always, cutie

 

[Glex]

Whoa, more replies than I can shake a stick at! LOL, thanks guys!

Banshee: I'm trying. Want to get back in the gym, damnit!

Natureboy: It was about 2 hours, yeah. I shot the shit with a few people and was teaching my ROTC partner some thigns, so probably about...oh, an hour and 45 of actual work? Gotta burn them calories
