After all the advice the other day on lifting shoes, I decided on the Power Firms. Take my measurements, talk to the guy (Joe) and it turns out he no longer makes them and has none left in my size. For sizes that he has no stock of left, he only sells Do-Wins.
ReplyDeleteTwo pairs look identical: single strap, appear to be suede, and only differ in color (light blue or black). The other pair appears to be leather and has two straps.
Back to the drawing board.
Chris,
ReplyDeleteI have two pairs of Do Wins and I really like em. I bought a second pair only because the first were a tad big. They run large. I wear a 13 sneaker and the 12 fits perfect. Maybe could even get away with a 11.5. I have had addidas before but I like the Do wins better cause they are a bit wider and the heel is higher which is great for me as it allows me to get into a rock bottom squat easier. I dont think you can go wrong with them. Muscle Driver is where I got mine.
Feeling under the weather today. Took off from training and hope that I can hit it manana and do a double.

tempo on chins was difficult. felt good on bench. light on db walking lunges b/c of lack of equipment.
A1. 135/140/160/170. I blew it on this one. I shouldve started much, much heavier and I had anticipated that the tempo was gonna really crush me at the end. 170 was still too light by far. Piss poor warm up set me up for a piss poor lift.

Ok this is probably a dumb question but are db lunges done with DBS hanging at sides. And where do you put them for the extensions?
ReplyDelete@Lisa: I held the DB at my sides for the lunges and at my chest for the Back Exts.
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteAs David said for lunges & tuck the DB under your chin like a bow tie for the back ext.

used a second hand for the tempo on each exercise starting on the second round; thus the decreases. First round counts on chins and BE's were fast. Odd that the BE's were easier in later rounds.

Bench felt weak. Chin-ups ruined me. I can already feel my behind start to tighten up from the lunges and BEs.
Chris, I have a pair of Adistar lifting shoes by Adidas and my wife has a pair of the new Pendlay shoes. It really comes down to how much you are willing to spend. Adistar's are $170+ vs <$100 for the Pendlay. The only reason I went for the Adistars at the time was because I was able to drive down to the olympic training center and try them on.
ReplyDeleteI bought her shoes at MuscleDriverUSA (http://www.muscledriverusa.com/wesh.html) at a very competitive price. I've had good luck with them in the past but regarding shoes, they will ship you a second pair free of charge in the event you misjudge your size on the first order.
Good luck with your purchase.

Just realized as I was putting in my numbers that Back ext. were meant to go right after the chins. I read it, early this morning, as an exercise on it's own once the 4 sets of the first triplet were complete. My error meant that I was giving myself 30seconds between chins and starting the next set of bench.......clears up why I felt like I was uber bagged :o)
That's what I get for trying to write down my workout without putting on my glasses in the morning :o)

Hi everyone, James, I got you your blog a few days ago and wana follow the programing.
ReplyDeleteI see you go in 45 day cycles. If I do this should I start with todays WOD? or go back and follow it since day 1??
Thank you and stay strong you all, this is cool stuff!

Omar, firstly welcome aboard.
ReplyDeleteThe cycle that James has written is for a competition on this Blog on Nov 14. I would suggest, (anyone with differing opinions please jump in) that you start right here today on this WOD. The WOD's are programmed with the event on the 14th in mind (so a taper is built in) Enjoy the programming.

The bench was somewhere between my normal grip and the close grip we did the other day. Felt OK for first couple of each set, but reps 4+ were rough in each set.
The first two sets of DB lunges were way too light. Had to jump up quickly. The 90s were challenging, but doable. Should have probably started at 85s and worked up in increments of 5.
ChinUps killed me. Just trying to get back up after hanging there for 5 seconds was kicking me in the face.
The downward tempo on the Back Extensions was the challenging part. The weight of 30/35 seemed about right.
Just for fun I went for max reps DUs after and smacked myself in the back of the head on 99. Good times.

I made my weekly trip to the bookstore this morning and discovered among the myriad bodybuilding manuals they started stocking Enter the Kettlebell. I ended up picking it up and read half of it before I left the parking lot. Pretty cool stuff. Now that I have a 1, 1.5 & 2 pood kettlebells I'm going to start incorporating some of these movements into my warmup routine, but I probably shouldn't drink any more vodka than I already do.
