Ah, Saturday. Day of catch up, but not ketchup, because ketchup is gross...and mostly refined sugar, and refined sugar is bad.
Started off the morning catching up on the Friday squats I skipped. I don't like missing a workout, especially since I only concentrate on one type of body weight movement/exercise a day. 3 sets of 40 shoulder stand squats.
Later in the day I saw to my pushups, 3 sets of 50 wall pushups.
I was recently asked what a vertical pull was. Short answer is that they're the first level of progression in the pullup series of body weight exercises. I'll just give a brief overview here as a more detailed description is planned for the near future. The person that asked thought that I was doing something close to a full pullup and couldn't believe I was doing 3 sets of 40. The vertical in this case isn't the way I'm moving, it's my body position, standing straight up. The pull movement is horizontal. I usually hold onto either side of a door frame (although a pole or something similar work fine as well) with my toes against the frame, lean back to arms length, then pull myself, nose to the frame for 1 vertical pull. Lather, rinse, repeat as required.
