Deadlifting a Globe

Realistically I can use my atlas stones to do the same thing. However, the Globe is a little more versatile since its weight adjustable, the primary source of weight moves during the lift, and its much more portable than several stones.



I really felt this one in my biceps, hands, back, chest, and shoulders. With the ball adding another 14lbs I didn't think trying to pick up a 125lb kettlebell would be such a chore.

Pullup variety

Lately my arm has been a hot mess and its starting to take its toll during training. Mostly affecting my pullups which I hate to say I started to take a liking to recently. Unfortunately, now that my left bicep is strained from a shot I took to the elbow my last rugby tourny I've had to look at alternatives. Since I got my new S-4 rack up from Rogue I think I may have found something.




Pretty simple- Climb up. Climb down. Doesn't require much flexion in the arm so the bicep stays relatively inactive during the movement while back and forearms still get some work. Plus its just something different than what I've been doing lately.

I think my next challenge is to hang a rope down and climb that first before reaching the bars. We shall see.
