TRAINING:

5PM-

16 TAEKWON-DO HYUNGS

WEIGHTED CHINS 10X2 

I haven't done these in a long time. I used to make them a staple. I used to do sets and reps with an added 70lbs with no problem at all and singles with 88lbs and even an added 106llbs at one point. Talk about a shock when I strapped on a 44lb bell for starters and it felt really hard! I kept my sets there and even backed off to the 35lb bell for my last two sets, because I knew I would feel them. Will keep working these to build them back up. These are a great martial art assistance exercise and I'm ashamed to have let these go so bad. 

I am counting these on a 1:5 ratio for challenge reps, as I would advise anyone else to do if they are dong weighted pullups, or heavily weighted squats.
