my opinion would be to really simplify your training and use mainly bodyweight exercises. You could do the big 4 lifts, and use bodyweight exercises as assistance:

Assistance to military and bench: dips, pullups, pushups, handstand pushups
Assistance to squat and deadlift: back extensions, natural GHR, walking lunges, box jumps

then hit bodyweight ab work - situp variations, hanging leg raises, planks

if I were you I would do somethng like this

Deadlift
Box Jump
Back extension

Military
Handstand Pushups
Dips

Squat
Natural GHR
Walking Lunge

Bench
Chins
Pushups

and abs whenever you like

you should try some hill sprints too

Bro I really like that routine that is good stuff! I am really enjoying the routine I am on right now though, so I will probably stick with that. However I still have not decided whether I am going to do the college and rotc route or enlist. If I do college and rotc I have 4 years where I could keep lifting and do whatever, as they make you do morning pt 3 days a week anyway. If I enlist though I will have to switch to something like that or probably a pt program with only pushups, situps, flutterkicks, pullups, and running.

Comments: As I said earlier, there were a bunch of guys I knew at my gym, and they wanted to see my 1 handed deadlifts. One guy challenged me, and he got to 285 1 handed his first time deadlifting I pushed myself super hard cause I sure as hell didn't want to get beaten by him, could have gotten 315. The I continued the contest and did a few 2 handed deadlifts, pretty easy. Pullups went great, however that is definitely my max and I am going to have to progress slower now. Pendlay rows were fun, going to do like 3x8x175 next week. And for you jdid I will video 1 handed deadlifts next time. You have a right to see me destroying your 2 handed deadlift pr with one hand

Damn that would be awesome, it could be one big youtube video from you and one from him, you guys could do a call out thread in the forum and have people vote on who won, or you could just do it by points. Arrg I am excited for this now that would be amazingly fun to watch you guys go at it lol! My guess is EM you would win squats , deads, and bench, jdid would win chins. You guys should think of one more exercise to add to it so it would be 5. Jdid: Just borrow someone's camera lol I want to see this contest now ....

EM would win bench hands down, probably squats, and probably deads and chins.

Having said that, i would be up for it if it was on the honor code. Or i can see if someone can get a video and do it. I would definitely be up for the challenge on deads though- i think that would be our closest one.

Jdid you got em on chins for sure I think, didn't you just get 10 today? As long as they are deadhang you will have em for sure, there is no way he could get 10 at 205 (no offense em lol). A 225 rep out on deads would be intense though, I'm curious to see what EM's best 135 rep out is too Don't worry about the competition part, it will be super fun whichever one of you wins it (that sounds kind of lame huh?) Just get someone to video you and post it on a youtube account.

5th lift would be overhead from the floor, basically getting the weight to locked out overhead by any means neccassary, so you could use a power clean, continental clean, snatch - whatever, then you can get it overhead by any means - push press, split jerk etc so it would be like what is used in the 6000lb challenge

jdid I was thinking close neutral chins or underhand, what do you think?

I was actually thinking of making a callout thread lol.

a good competition would be you vs saibot but saibots very busy now with his new gym and PT business so I doubt it would happen

I predict you would win chins, I would win bench. Deads and squats would both be close and I have no idea for overhead...

If you can get a camera Ill make a thread and put all the rules in. What do you think to belt and wrist wraps?

This will be badass!!!! Jdid just tell me if you have a camera that you could use or borrow or when you will be able to get one and Ill make a thread...

By the way, Jdid, Im not trying to prove myself against you, or trying to make you feel small or weak, or trying to show that Im better than you, I dont want you to take this the wrong way. I just thought we are close in strengths at the moment, you will beat me on chins I may beat you on bench but the rest will be close so I thought it would be fun...

I would love to see andalite vs gladiator on deadlifts to be honest. Whoever can do the most reps at 365- that would be crazyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I would be fine w/ a clean and jerk contest and neutral grip sounds good.

Also, if i got a video recorder i would do it in a heartbeat. I'll ask a friend if i go to the gym with him next time to bring a camera (hopefully he has one). Or maybe i can try to get someone to open the weight room 9th period at school so i can do it w/out any distractions.

Deads/Squats would be pretty close- you would win bench with no effort though. How about we each bench our bodyweight to make it more interesting? You would probably still win that since i only got 160x3x3 and that was hard and could only manage 165x2 on my own the workout after.
