I haven't worked out (properly) today. I have a decent reason, though, ... I've only had 6 hours sleep and didn't want to put my body into overdrive on such crappy sleep. I'm so tired. ---____--- I did however do a whole bunch of varied chinups, and a couple of pullups, most of which were slow, mathodical ones, so that hurt and felt great... until I banged my head on the door frame and earned myself pain and a nice lump. ¬_¬
Oh yeah, I also tried weighted chinups which was awesome! I shoved a dumbbell between my legs (giggety!) and gave it my best shot. It was only 7.5KG extra, but I sure as hell felt it.
Apparently that's a little over a stone. 'o.O That can't be right, ... 16.5lbs according to a converter. Anywho, definitely trying that more often.

think it worked, feel good. legs are a bit jelly-like. next time I might incorporate some jump rope, I don't do enough of that (mainly because I have to do it outdoors and it sometimes triggers my social anxiety) |
Well done.
That looks like a pretty good leg workout. I'll start focusing back on the legs eventually. xD Still stuck on the "show muscles" at the moment... well, plus the back, and lats, ... dunno if you can count the lats as show muscles. xD I suppose they look pretty badass if you lift your arms up!
But, alas, I think people might give me weird looks if I went out like that.
If you can, and if your legs are up for it, incorperate weighted squats, especially if you want to gain muscle and the legs are good for that. Basically, bar on your shoulders, and the usual squat position. I used to do them a lot and DAMN did they feel good, ... makes you feel powerful lifting that weight while squatting down and pushing yourself back up again.
If you have bad joints, or a dodgy back, I would check with your doctor to see if you're safe to do this stuff.
