Yeah, I know, fluff. Just squeezing in what I can today, overdue on a Front Sqt 5x5 (test for a new 5RM, eh?) but just not up to it today, and no time, and ... ah, face it, I weaseled out of squatting today. But, and check out this silver lining - I weaseled out like a freaking Boss.

VPull Rehab - Dec 30

Is the world record holder in the 1500 meters run athletic?
I don’t know, let's see what else he can do. 
- John Welbourn

I just put together a working year plan for 2014. Then I began to question it all. I'm thinking mostly about addressing weaknesses, based on what I've been learning during this testing phase. 
Stay tuned: Now I'm thinking about scrapping most all of it and starting over. I'm worried about doing too much HT and not the proper mix of Maximal strength (read: 531), Muscular endurance (BBB sets, say) to real world athleticism (LSD endurance/multi-planar speed work/Hand-eye skill work). I can't train for the gym or even the CF gym. I need to train for that unknown-and-unknowable streetfight.

Anyway, in the meantime, I have to rehab this arm, or all pulling work is going to continue to flag. Today might have been a MaXmas attempt at a 1RM on weighted Chins. I taped up and brought my dipping belt out onto the gym floor, and then realized that I'd checked my ego at the door. I spent the time instead at the cable pulldown, just doing mixed grip light pulls.

9x max reps (15-10's) Wide neutral grip/medium overhand/narrow overhand/narrow chin grips @ 160////155/////
16 mins.

1 attempt at Neutral grip pulls - just didn't feel good in the right brachi.

VPull Something - Nov 5

This is what you get when you walk into the gym with your dip belt, thinking you're going to do weighted pulls, and there's nowhere to pull but from the cable job.
Someday I'm going to be serious about my own rig.
