The rest of March - synopsis
Finally at it again…
It thought I’d try to bring this up to speed by narrative instead of clips and the whole shabang. Actually, the taking of clips at the basement is going to have to wait anyway until the light is replaced. Nice mood lighting though, fitting for a dungeon but hardly enough light for my camera to get any decent clips…
So: March went by real fast, and in fact I ended up having an unscheduled non-training week there and one week with just a single little workout. Partly due to the book-project and getting it somewhere (still waiting for the results on that one). All the workouts I did get in however, were not too shabby. They all happened at the basement gym since there’s plenty of weights there to accommodate the 20-30 reps speedily done. And, having borrowed Kris’ minibands, I now had a nice arsenal of rubber to go along with the weights.
I actually came up with a few funny new exercises, too. Here’s a sampling:
One-handed pull-downs with bands (hang bands over chinning bar, sit on floor, pull like a madman.)
Leg extensions with bands (loop bands around uprights of bench-dip “chair”, then sit on the leg-support and extend leg, one at a time)
Leg curls with bands (same setup basically, but turn around on the leg support…)
April coming up next…

I like the sound of one-handed pulldowns. I trust you’ve already added it to the book

Oh there’s loads.
This’ll actually be the first book of at least three, really.
It’s on free weights and at the current moment I have around 850 exercises in it. Note that this is only for dumbells, barbell and loose plates… A whole lot of work writing detailed instructions for each.
Lucky me, I’ve got the whole of next week off from work, so… There’ll be a lot of typing methinks.
