Notes:
Apparently hang overs make it difficult to work out the next day. The sad part was I felt fine until I started deadlifting and then the sweats and nasea hit...shit. Might have pressed a little harder on those but i didn't have my straps (curious where those went) and I was sweating too much w\ a bar that was too smooth. The rest was just a feel out of the lifts.
For those that are interested I used the "new bar" for the deadlift stuff and it really worked like a champ. Short of having no grippy stuff on it at all, it "felt" smooth as silk.
Nice workout considering your condition at the time. I give you major credit for even attempting a workout with a hangover, that is something that I would not have tried myself.
Hey Gob. I see those bridges. Something I never do but seeing them come up ALL over this forum makes me curious. What exactly is the benefit to performing that kind of static hold? Does it actually strengthen the core? My pee brain can't get around the idea that you can strengthen/grow muscle by just doing a static hold and not movement.
Seems bridges are pretty important to a lot of folks here though. Just wondering what the benefits are. I might have to try them if someone can give me the scoop.
Jim. It's more of a "so I don't get a hernia" type thing than a builder. If you do a squat or any standing movement your body naturally braces. Your core will hold that contraction until you stop, ideally you won't have a ton of flexion going on *most* of the time.
The bridge reflects a similar experience in a controlled manner.

So I guess there's more CNS training going on there than anything. Hmm.
Well..I've already had one hernia repaired..maybe I should try these.
if you can hang out for 2min then you're doing good enough. I'm not quiet as excited about chilling out that long personally. 1min is about all the boredom will allow.
Bridges are the reason that God puts carpet in front of televisions.
Good point. I don't think there are any mats or anything at the gym..I'm gonna have to look around a bit cuz 2 minutes on the elbows won't be felling so nice.

Notes:
That circuit was kind of hard. I actually felt bad for having the fellas do it. Apparently I missed a plank between lunges (oops). More than anything those freaking ball rollouts kicked my ass. The balls are kind of gushy so I rolled and kind of bounced in that plank position. Holy hell. I feel like some one kicked me in the stomach!
*notes*
Still have that "kicked in the belly" thing going on, wasn't too bad until the toes to sky which was NOT going to happen. Everything else was pretty ho hum. New PR for the bench, 30lbs shy of my 1.5...would have been enough 20lbs ago (Febuary) . Might have been about to squeeze out a little more but figure next week I'll be stronger than this one. It's better to hold off to get it for sure than to try something dumb and fuck up both weeks lifting.
LD> No matter how many times you say it, it's not cool.
Jim> I had a spotter (although it probably wasn't needed). On the incline if you miss you're not going to "die". Flat or decline is pretty hairy, I don't think I've got the man-nuts to go for a max without a spotter. And it's only 1 set so it's not really bothering anyone.
. Little men in the back of the room!:p
