Decided to keep the split i did last week, so Monday is only legs and Tuesaday chest and lats. Currently both those split sessions take around 45 minutes each, will add cardio and core stuff to bring them up to 60-75.
Now shooting for 4 weight lifting days per week, hope i can keep up with it.

BW x 12 on dead hang chins is really solid, awesome work vag.

I agree, weighted chins are a bit rough for me, just feels like way too much bicep. I love weighted ng's though, too bad my dip belt broke. Need to get a new one eventually.

Anyway that was a great session, killed everything.

peace!

^Thanks a lot!!! Re chins/pulls, yes, heavy ones are too difficult, too hard to get started off the bottom with >100kg dead hanged, if I manage to start it then i can pull it off. You are probably right, it is more hands than back down there. But i wont change anything, I imagine just progressing the lighter ones as i am now will eventually get me unstuck at the heavy ones too.

Soreness : hamstrings, chest, lats, glutes, VMOs

1½ hours full court basketball.
Indifferent session. Felt good ( strong and explosive and all ) but also feeling an overall muscle fatigue which doesn't let me play at 100%.
Endurance kinda improved too, interesting, i didn't do anything cardio-like. Maybe regular weights ( 3 to 4 sessions a week ) with those high rep finishers help?
