My workout log for the last 17 years. Every workout that I have done since February of 2007 is listed here. I decided to move my training log from a notebook to online and needed a name for the URL. I was training with mostly Kettlebells back then, thus the name - Kettlbellrob.

“Static holds are the unused key to gaining muscle and strength. Pulling or pressing against an immovable object, or even resisting a load over extended duration are great ways of triggering large amounts of mechanical tension and metabolic stress. They’re brutal, they’re hard. But hell will they result in muscle growth”.

Chest to wall HSPUs more properly mimics the way your body will move in a freestanding handstand pushup. When doing it back-to-wall, you're encouraging high back arch and also allowing for wide elbows - which makes the movement easier to perform. This version is a lot more difficult.

One of the most challenging, yet effective bodyweight exercise for targeting your biceps.
How To Do It: As you lower, your arms will extend behind you, your elbows should have neutral rotation. While lowering forward, your palms will begin to face forward. Make sure you keep a nice flat back. Do not extend to full elbow extension unless you are advanced in the exercise, as it can place a lot of pressure on the elbows. Keeping the elbows pulled together being your back, use your biceps to pull you back up to the beginning form.

“The L-sit and the pull-up are spectacular strength-builders all on their own. Combining them into an L-sit pull-up brings out previously untold benefits all into the same exercise. You’ll be skyrocketing your full-body coordination, all the while bringing your core strength to a completely new level. Learning the L-sit pull-up might require quite a bit of dedication and practice, but putting in the sweat will pay you back in spades”. - Barbend

Human Flag Practice
Did 4 attempts - the longest I can’t currently hold it is 8-9 seconds. Goal is ten. I can’t train it too often because the amount of strain it puts on the tensions in my elbows.
“Training for this unique exercise will strengthen every muscle in your body, as well as toughen up your tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues. The ability to do a human flag demonstrates a high level of strength and control, but even just the process of working toward this skill will help you improve those attributes.
“Human flag training builds mental fortitude, too. The body and mind must both be strong to perform this ferocious feat”. - GMB Fitness

Shield Pull Ups -10-8-6-15
“A shield pull up is a special variation of the pull up where you pull your elbows in. Shield pull up isn't the same as the close-grip chin up. In the shield pull up your arms travel in the front of your body, whereas in the close-grip chin up your arms go to the sides past the body. Keeping your elbows together will fry your chest muscles which isn't common with pull ups or any pulling exercise.
Your chest muscles like the pectoralis major will get stronger and bigger, but the best benefits will happen to your arms. Your arms stay in a nice line during the repetition, which means you will hit more the brachialis muscle of the arms. Brachialis is the muscle on the side of the arm beneath the biceps. Your biceps are also heavily worked”. - Vavha Fitness

I was reading about David Goggins wanting to break the world pull up record (4,000+) and I was inspired to challenge myself.
I decided to do 500 pull ups.
I did them in set of five while changing my grip thought the 100 sets.
The fist 250 went pretty fast - 35:30
Feeling great at 300 - 41:40 & 350- 49:05
At this point I switched to 100% hammer grip and the pace slowed down.
400 - 55:20
450 - 1:04:04
500 - 1:12:29 - SUCCESs!
Huge mental victory. At 375 I started convincing myself - “375 is really good. Stop there”. I decided to ignore that voice.
“Be more than motivated, be more than driven, become literally obsessed to the point where people think you're…nuts.” - David Goggins
“When you think that you are done, you’re only 40% in to what your body’s capable of doing. That’s just the limits that we put on ourselves. We still have 60 percent more to give!” - David Goggins
