How did you attach your training log?

Do you mean to my signature?

[gregl515]

Yes.

I opened the first page of my log in a separate window and copied the URL. Then I edited my signature, and typed in Training Log. Then I highlighted that text and clicked on the hyperlink icon (the globe with a chainlink in front of it), and pasted the link from that other window into it and clicked ok. Then I saved my changes, and since then the link's appeared in my signature. Does that help?

I'll give it a try!

The link isn't working (points to a nonexistant page I think) - You might want to recheck it when you get a chance.

Greg,

Change the url in your sig to the one below. It also take people to the first unread post.

Diary of a Small Planet II: The Omen

In order to see the whole thing, hit the "quote" so the whole url shows in the window. Then copy/paste.

And so it begins... I just went through the exercises with the woman who runs the gym. It's going to be a hell of a month. Still, I was happy I could reach the chin up bar (while standing on a bosu ball) so I could actually do the hanging leg (well, for me it will be knee) raises. I don't see the explosive pushups lasting through the first set, so I might switch to knees on the floor when I can't do the full ones any longer. Any variations that would mimic the explosive pushup would be appreciated. Thanks.

Take a heavy med ball (10-15lbs) and hold it in both hands, ball against your chest, explosively propel it toward a wall or down at the ground.

Explode as hard as you can, like those mean high school athletes used to do at the poor freshmen...

Same sets/reps as the explosive pushup.

Great idea! If I was going to propel it to the ground, would I be bent over, like for a row?

[Lost Dog]

Correct!

Notes:

Holy @#%^!

Even though I used REALLY light weights in the 2nd giant set, I still got my butt kicked. Still, as a first workout it went better than the initial workouts for the other routines, so I still feel as though I'm making progress.
