Body Resistance Bicep Curls



Directions from Molding a Mighty Arm (1932) by George F. Jowett:

“Stand erect with feet together and clasp the left hand in the right in front of the body with the palm of the right hand facing directly forward and the arms held straight down by the sides. From this position turn the right hand on the wrist upward in a cupping motion so the space between the hand and the forearm is shortened. Now begin to bend the arm at the elbow and raise the right hand toward the right shoulder. Throughout this motion press down with all the power of the left arm to resist the upward trend of the right arm. This will bring the right arm biceps into play very forcibly in order to overcome the left hand pressure. When the right hand is curled to the shoulder allow the arm to return back to the original position, but in doing so, resist the downward action, this time by pulling up with the left hand.

Perform this exercise reversing the hands so as to develop both arms equally.


Half a dozen repetitions will give you some idea of the effect this exercise has upon the biceps.”

40 reps for biceps

20 for forearms

Feel I need a bit more work on keeping focus on the 2 hands going against eachother more.

Isometric Tricep Extension



Directions from Molding a Mighty Arm (1932) by George F. Jowett:

“Another triceps wakener is to grasp the wrist of the right hand by the left hand, passing the left arm across the small of the back. Stiffen the right arm and lift backwards trying to break the grip of the left hand. You will not be able to lift high but the triceps kick should be strongly felt.”

3 times holding for 12 seconds

Body Resistance Shoulder Shrugs



Directions from Molding a Mighty Back (1932) by George F. Jowett:

“Here is an exercise I always enjoy and one that I have practiced all my life. In fact, it was one of the first group of exercises I ever practiced. You may not care for it as much as some other, but I liked it because I could get tremendous resistance from it.

I first adopted the position of hands clasped behind the back, then drew the shoulders forward and allowed the chin to sink upon the chest. I would then tense and forcibly bring the shoulder blades together as much as I could, throwing back the head as this was done. See Fig. 15. This I would repeat anywhere from twelve to eighteen times, giving complete contraction and extension of these powerful shoulder muscles.”

20 reps

 

Today:
(Jump Rope 3 minutes + 10 tricep pushups + 10 resistance band curls) X 4 cycles w/o rests in between cycles.
Goal:
Pick a day next week, same work out but 5 cycles.
Motivation:
Not getting what you want? Change what you're doing.

Feel like I need to work more on these finishers as felt I wasn't as focused & not tightening the muscles I wanted to work.

Though later one I swimmed for over 47 minutes & it was a nice relaxing swim.

 

270 chest day

 

5x shepard-workout (means 5*14 regular pushups)
3x pushup-massace-workout (means 3*6 regular, 3*6 power, 3*6 wide-grip, 3*6 diamond, 3*6 raised leg, 3*6 spiderman/side crunch pushups)
I was sweating as hell! But in the next days I'll do more.

Didn't do the rows and Squat assisted chin-ups again, as felt like not doing them, but instead just done this routine and other random swinging with my Indian clubs
& the beginning exercise of this video of the 2 clubs going round the same side


I don't know why I am not feeling up for rowing recently, but still got a good workout with the clubs after my main routine.

I did forgot to do these straight after, but I had still done them later on during the day.
