Boxing/football.

 

I enjoy parachute runs as well - feel like superman. And running on sand dunes - that's such a good work out.

Overhand or underhand?

 

At work we have to do them overhand - I prefer that because

  1. Works your biceps more
  2. More realistic - if I fall off a cliff and am dangling above a 49ft drop with sharks circling below, this is the way I'll be hanging and need to pull myself up

Clean and press. Not because I enjoy it but because it makes me feel like a badass woman!

Overhand, Underhand, and Neutral (hands facing each other)

 

You are correct: The overhand position is the most functional of the variations outside of the gym (real world applicability).

Swimming is definitely great exercise. I almost drowned at the wave pool once - does that count :laugh:?

 

The deadlift is arguably the most functional strength training lift ...... good for you!

Really, how much do you Bench :rolleyes:?

 

Just Kidding, just kidding ...... It's funny how some casual trainees will measure another man's worth by how many pounds he can bench press.

 

It's a great exercise in its own right and one of the three lifts in powerlifting competition.

Abs Emilia, A-B-S ?!?! I figured it would be boxing :)

 

So, what's your favorite stomach exercise?

 

Props for deadlifting. How's that powerlifting gym working out for you?

Hey Shepp, what are parachute runs? Is that resistance running with a canopy tied to your waist like sprinters perform?

 

BTW, may I ask why your work has you doing pullups :)?

Got it ......

 

Are you a Cross Fitter, an Olympic Lifter, or were you just born a Badass :)?

 

The Clean and Press is certainly a very demanding exercise. Weightlifting was in the first modern day Olympics in 1896 and included that event.

I'm just a brickhouse, man :cool:

 

 

 

But seriously, if there was a powerlifting gym near me, I would be all over that. My gym is not set up at all for doing any kind of olympic lifts, but I do make my own room for a few.

That's the one! Faster you run, higher the parachute goes and the more resistance you feel. Not that I'm a sprinter but we have to do it in football training.

Fire service, we do a lot of fitness.

Exactly what I started humming...:laugh:
