A word about wheelbarrows

Ok so I am fortunate enough to have two staircases in the home in which I dwell. This offers a great circuit for traveling through the house. The differences in these stairwells are that they are on different ends of the house and that one is carpeted and one is not. The circuit goes as follows. Have someone hold your legs for wheelbarrows as you walk on your hands down the hall down the wooden stairs through the dining room, the kitchen and then up the carpeted stairs. Or reverse. Let me tell you this: when going down stairs you are at a very steep angle. This could be difficult for your partner to have proper grip as you decend. If you partner happens to be wearing socks, his/her grip may be inadequate and the two of you shall tumble down the stairs; your partner bustin up ass bones while you smash your face, arms and elbows in to stairs, concrete flooring and walls.

Slowly Improving

Today I did 3x15 Rowing from the rafters. Then I did 2x5 Pullups where one arm was like 18inches down from the bar and holding on to a really fat towel. So it was grip strength for the off hand and almost all pull up on the other hand then I switched hands. Then I finished by grabbing each side of the towel wich was over the bar and did 8 more pull ups. Then I went in to the basement and started listening to another interview from the handbalance master course and practices alot of the hand balancing exercises. I'm starting to hold em more consistantly now. I also am gradually improving in chess. It doesn't feel like it but the people I used to have trouble with I am beating more often. I also now how myself up on the arms of the chair and hold my legs up. Like I am gonna do dips but I am just workin my abs while they move and then sometimes I stretch my legs straigh out and hold the L shape.

Hand Balance Mastery Course

So I got my handbalance mastery course inthe mail. Its filled wit sweet exercises. It also has interviews on cd. I listened to the one while I hit the heavy bag. The dude was from beast skills http://www.beastskills.com/ I heard the guy talking about crazy stuff he was striving for and it was things like the one handed rope climb! This guy is crazy strong check out his site hes got good stuff on there. Then I was doing all kinds of different hand balancin positions. I need to strengthen my core so much to do this stuff. Yesterday I did Pull ups my workout was 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1. For some reason it wasnt that hard. Maybe I rested too long. I'm gonna try it again with shorter rest and then I am gonna try it by starting at 11. I'd thing 66 pullups oughta wear me out. Maybe I'll change grips or use the towel and have one hand lower so its focused more on one arm. Meanwhile I gotta do alot more core stuff I need to find a way to get from doing the wheel on the knees to doing it from standing. It such a large gap in ability.

GIANT TIRE!!

sweeeeeet....i got a giant tractor tire today. i plan on smashing it with a sledgehammer in the near future and flipping it across the yard in tabata intervals. i'll let you know how it goes.

my new method

i discovered a fantastic new way to train this weekend. i wake up about 20 minutes earlier than usual, and when i go out to do the morning chores, i workout in between each chore. a sample of the morning yesterday:
6:00 - wake up, do fingertip pushups to get forearms and 'bows ready
6:05 - get milking gear ready, do fingertip pushups
6:07 - put on boots, hat, go outside
6:09 - climb rope twice to get going
6:11 - milk baby
6:15 - decline pushups on the rings 2x15
6:18 - milk gracie, start filling water bucket
6:23 - decline flies on rings 2x12, set of fingertip pushups
6:27 - take baby and gracie out on pasture with water, feed other goats
6:29 - do upside down rows on rings 2x12 (hard!)
6:33 - feed chickens, collect eggs, make sure sheep are watered
6:38 - inverted pushups and two more rope climbs
6:42 - filter milk, do 2 more sets pushups

so usually it takes me a little under half an hour to do the morning chores. i added an entire workout and only tacked on about 15 more minutes. nice! plus i feel solid to start the day, and without telling anna i did the workout she comes down while im cooking breakfast and says "your arms are freakin huge!" obviously.

as for iron mind - got deep into why NPK fertilizing not only doesn't work, but is the worst idea ever. NPK fertilizing is like taking the EV1 off the road, but doing it in the 1930s and using lobbyists to continue keeping it off the road. i just watched who killed the electric car, so sorry for the comparisons. really, the two are very related since its all about the chemical companies. thats where the shit be at.

also, i started getting into animal physiology. its time to break this respiration thing down to the cellular level to see where our deficiencies really come from!
