Congratulations on the weight loss! Wow, that truck tire workout looks very interesting, I feel like trying it out! Could peek around if there are any cheap ones..
Checkout any local tire dealers/stores especially ones who deal in heavy equipment or agricultural tires, I bet you can get one for free or at the very least it should be cheap as it would be a tire taken out of service.
Tonight's workout: steel pipe push-ups 7x10 3x10 Cantilevered sit ups on tire 3x10 3x10 slosh pipe 5 min burpees up onto tire 3x10 3x10 Hammer Time! overhead 3x25 left side 3x25 right side 3x25 45 minutes, felt good to get a good one in.
Tonight empty hand hyung four times each, I couldn't finish. I think it's because I didn't eat properly today. It was still a good workout, I just burnt out 3/4 through.
thats pretty cool nice workout what are steel pipe pushups? Like how are they different to normal ones?
If you go back and look at my DIY equipment you'll see a iron 6" pipe about 5' long. I have cut two holes in it big enough to put my hands in, I welded a 3/4 inch steel pipe cross ways inside so I can lift the pipe. What I do is grab hold of the pipe as it is on the ground and do push-ups. My theory is that because it is not stable I get a better work out as I have to keep the pipe from rolling back and forth as I'm doing the push-ups. This Too LOL!
Tonight training: Oh yea I got a new toy! A smaller tractor tire, one I can lift, probably 200 pounds. *Small tire dead lift: 3x10 1x7 Tweaked my back right away, damn! *Small tire flip 1x10 Iron pipe Press 1x3 Cantilevered sit-ups 3x10 3x10 *Iron Pipe push-ups feet elevated on small tire: 3x10 3x10 *Big tire lift (trying to flip it): 1x3 got it up about 1" (I estimate that tire at about 500lbs) Iron pipe push-ups 3x10 *Slosh pipe Squats 3x10 2x10 * Iron pipe bench press (laying on big tire, very off balance and hard to do) 1x10 * Small tire sled: This is cool, I put a couple lifting straps around the small tire and pulled it about 50 feet. 10 laps *denote new exercises. Good workout about 45 min. my back is sore, but I think it will be ok.
Try some pilates exercises or anything that focuses on the core. I found that these done lightly and increasing the resistance to them coupled with some stretching does help bring your (at least my) back into active duty.
Thanks yea I'm almost there, I've been using my foam roller and stretching. I can do BW squats with no pain. Going to relax some and keep rolling and stretching. Next week I'll work out a couple times, after the new year it's back to full on training. I've got a ham string and back injury to be mindful of but I've got goals to meet as well. I'll try some pilates in the mean time and see how that goes. Thanks again for your support.
12-26-11 Got some new toy's from Santa. I had to try them out despite my back hurting. Didn't keep track of reps but at least 1x10 of each: kettle bell swings 20lb each side kettle bell clean & press 20lb each side laying on floor press 20lb each side sit ups with kettle bell 10lb V ups with kettle bell 10lb push ups with kettle bell Bar bell Dead lifts 110lb overhead to behind head press 30lbs Went good my back was complaining, but today it felt better. That felt good to be back to doing some training!
12-27-11 Today empty hand hyung 4 times each, low stances, fast hands, kicks were low. Wore a back brace today to help me through. Ice right now on my lower back. About 45 minute work out but still had plenty of gas in my tank, need to take it easy until my back is better. Everyday it's gets a little better.
12-28-11 20lb kettle bell swings right and left side 1min 20lb kettle bell clean & press both left and right 3x10 4x5 20lb kettle bell squats 3x10 push ups on kettle bell 3x5 bar bell dead lift 110lb 3x5 Not much but it's better than nothing.
1-1-12 20 minutes on treadmill, had to stop because of my back! 1-2-12 Went to doctor today (Chiropractor) and got an adjustment. I feel much better. Day or two rest then I'll try again.
1-6-12 Today did Aerobic on treadmill, 20 minutes. 5 min warm up 15 min of 45 sec all out, and 45 sec walk, went well, I was able to go all out with no pain from back & hamstring...Yippe! Cronometer today, low day, I also inputted my exercise into it, interesting result, however I've never counted off my calories burnt into my eating, so for me it doesn't count toward my zig-zag.
