[MartinBlass]

How big is the step-ladder? 24" as recommended?

[stuqua]

@MartinBlass

Yes, I think it turned out to be exactly 24", but not very stable.

[MartinBlass]

@stuqua It looks a bit wobbly... :-)

[IztormI]

Now if you could do the pull-ups again with good form, i'd be satisfied.

[McStevy]

how many times a week are you to do this workout?

[stuqua]

@McStevy

I did it four times during the week ending in this recording, and since then I've done it an average of zero times per week.

[heisenbergsaysrelax]

@stuqua

Curious why, it just wasn't enough weight/too much cardio or what

[stuqua]

@heisenbergsaysrelax

It is very difficult to effectively fit in both a lot of strength training and a lot of conditioning, although I usually want to do some of both. However, I prefer conditioning workouts that are shorter and simpler than this, with one or two exercises or a sequence of closely related ones, or I might use loads of exercises but in an unstructured, untimed, unpressured way, but ending up with fairly large oxygen deficits. I rarely repeat the exact same routine.

[62khunt62]

you are going to fast unless your training for explosivness

[62khunt62]

your going to fast

[LittleValo]

I'm impressed! Good job! But when did you start doing this workout?

[stuqua]

About a week before recording this.

[maxxthebull]

Good work man!!

[ALEXDIGO123]

damn lol dude u r doing ur reps way too damn fast?? you are not doing nothing but liftin weight and not building muscle so idk what ur goal is but good work out bro....

[stuqua]

My goal was to show off on You Tube by completing the workout as quickly as possible.

[majorbelov]

21 chin ups straight with good form, that's awesome.

[griffinman13]

you are my idol do yo lift a lot or just do this

[stuqua]

I did this four times in one week until I has a satisfactory video of it; other than that, I lift stuff almost every day but never did this before or since!

[chdeaa]

this mutha fucka has more endurance than anyone i have seen! I guess white men can jump. Lol.

[ShotDownInFlames2]

Great workout and great music, Rossini is my favorite.

[stuqua]

AC/DC rock too.

[xTriplexxEXx]

I think the boxjumps would keill me the most lol

[stuqua]

Me too! I think it would've been less draining to jump higher.

[wheredah0odat]

you work out to snow white music! LOL

[stuqua]

Only Persian sissies workout without listening to Snow White!

[wheredah0odat]

LMAO good one dude!! LOL

[piperpig]

"The Thieving Magpie" always reminds me of "A Clockwork Orange".

[alone69alone]

pretty helpful, hope to be able to do it soon. is 137.5 lbs with or without the bar?

[stuqua]

With the bar.

[jofujenkins]

damn dude, you're in good shape. now i feel guilty for having to motivate myself to run 5 or 6 miles!

i bet you were wiped out after this feat!!

[stuqua]

Cheers! But, strangely enough, I'd done exactly the same thing the day before and took longer and felt more knackered then. But the recording went wrong and I bloody-mindedly decided to re-do it the next day - and, surprisingly, had become so habituated to it that I finished faster.

[jofujenkins]

well, i ran 6 miles tonight and already DREAD the idea of doing the stairmaster tomorrow.

i thought about trying the spartan workout out at the gym i frequent, but i didn't want to traumatize the other gym-goers by seeing me have a heart attack and die!

keep it up! great work!!
