Friday 4/28 upper body training
kids had a half day today so I was compating for space and equipment in a gym packed full of rushed parents
dynamic warmup
Neutral grip pulllups:
5 x BW+12.5 x 5 - added another set from last week, will be adding another 2.5 lbs next week woot!!
Flat DB press:
4 x 25s x 12 - because the only competition-style bar in the whole gym was occupied and I didn't feel like waddling heavier DBs across the gym to the only available bench
Inverted rows:
did these on the decline bench cuz no available squat rack, which worked better than I expected
4 x BW x 12
And did a few light sets of decline DB rows as a demo for a friend trying to find a workaround with her back pain. :-)
In between all of the above I was on both a health rant and a "the county school math book/program sux" rant to anyone who would hold still long enough. One gym friend in particular is a vegetarian and so yeah he gets the health rant thank goodness, not many in this gym really DO understand. Unfortunately no one understands the reasoning for the math one about precision vs. accuracy being wrong in the textbook, a textbook that teaches to the PARCC! :mad: All the teachers across the entire country (it is crazy popular) who use this textbook don't understand the concept themselves AND are teaching it incorrectly to their students, then they all blame the parents for not reinforcing this at home! Well, school system: start by paying your (smart, educated) teachers better, then stop forcing them to teach MATH exclusively through a series of YouTube videos, and give them a chance to actually TEACH again instead of being robots! :mad: :mad:
