Always.

And, as it was Saturday night, I simultaneously looked dedicated and like a loser at the same time.

No. I landed on my feet (barely), but 32 Reebok step risers and the platform went sailing across the room. It was very loud on the wood floor.

Know your limitations. And then display them hilariously. Sounds like you did it well.

Congrats on the Push-Up PR.

As for the box jumps. Did you ever notice how there is never anyone around when you do something spectacular, but all eyes are on you when you screw up?

This happened on Thursday.

Clap Pushups (5/5/5)
Chinups (11/8/5)

Alt DB Press, 65 (6/6/6/6)
DB Row, 80 (6/6/6/6)

DB Squeeze Press, 55 (10/8/8)
EZ Curl, 55 (12), 60 (8/8)

Cable High Pulls, 100 (8/8/8)
Cable Fr Raise, 25 (8/6/6)

It was a pretty annoying time to workout at this particular gym. Lots of old people, gym morons, and people from other cultures who not only don't have a sense of personal space, but also don't understand how much space people need to lift a weight.

On a positive side, there were some newbies who were doing everything right.

= bonk!

Good for you for being patient enough to workout anyway.

The idea of lifting (and doing strange and interesting movements) around total strangers has always been intimidating to me.

At home I just have to deal with stray cats walking between my feet during deadlifts.

Hit the playground with the TRX. Still going light on the legs.

A1, Towel Assisted 1-Arm Chinups (4/3/3)
A2, TRX Pushups (10/8/7)
A3, TRX Balance Lunge (12/10/8)

B1, TRX Pullups (8/6/5)
B2, Narrow Pushups (lengthwise on wall) (12/11/10)

It's weird. In the first set, the towel is assisting the other arm, but by set three, the other arm is assisting the towel side.

The TRX Pullups are brutal on the lower back and the lats. I was going to do some bodyweight squats or lunges at the end, but my back was wiped out. I wanted an excuse to not, anyway.

I looked up those TRXs...whoa! $150-370 for that?

Wanna give to the Cynic retirement fund?

If you're getting the most out of it, it's money well spent, though I'd have trouble justifying even $150 for nylon straps w/ handles.

I'm curious what a towel assisted one-arm chin looks like.

I think Mistress Krista had a pic or two… someone did at least. You drape the towel over the bar, and hold it in the non-working hand, using it to assist, but it isn't as advantageous.
