Good Mornings...never tried these before...a pad on the bar would be a nice
addition..

Standing Calf Raise (one leg)
BWx20
BWx15

EZ Bar Curls
110x6
110x6

Dips
BW+45 x6

What's the diff. between Bulgarian Squats and regular?

Morning, Dex! I love good mornings -- the stretch in my hamstrings feels great. I definitely use a p-pad to do them.

I do Bulgarian squats. Those things are tough, tough, tough. I hate them. I call them Spawn of Satans.

Hope you're doing great!

Hiya Hibby!...thanks fpr stopping by.

Bulgarians are a single leg exercise..not anything like a regular squat really.

Here is a good article on single leg exercises: (bulgarians included)

Testosterone Nation - Single-Leg Supplements

Okay to post the link, I presume?

Here is today's WO:

WG Pullups
BWx10...finally I got 10!
BWx8

1 Arm DB Rows
110x6
110x6

EZ Bar Curls
85x10
85x10

SL Deadlifts
155x10

I'm kinda scared to play with the deadlift very much, but need to gain
some lower back strength somehow. I suffered a herniated disc and have
another that is bulging. (2+ years ago)

I have trained around my lower back for so long that it is weak, but my core
is better than ever, which should help me to gain some strength back.
Hopefully, no one is confused by the last statement..in my experience, core
vs. lower back muscle are not the same thing.

LOL i am TOTALLY stalking you!

Dex · 01-02-2008, 12:44 AM

Wow...this place is dead anymore.
Since my absence was just another lack of traffic for this site, why
not get my journal going again?

I'm an old wimp who lifts girly weights and you will all be bored if you
read my journal...but I'm here and damnit that's a start.

This summer I pretty much gave up and walked away from training..just to see
how much dust could build up on my equipment. cool huh? not really.

I'll just throw up the last few workouts to kind of get things up to speed.
My biggest reward has come from finally being able to load my spine with
some weight. (disc injury)

12/26

Barely Training

I'm gonna call today's workout "barely training"...you'll see why.

90x10

Close Grip Bench
