Strength Training and Conditioning for "The Skinny Guy"

I'm 6 feet tall, 180lbs (maybe after Thanksgiving dinner), and I have trouble filling out the shoulders in a "smedium" t-shirt. But that doesn't mean I can't be strong. Don't be confused: this blog is not about how a hard gainer can pack on the pounds. It's unhealthy to put on useless weight, and quite frankly, I haven't figured out how to do it. This is quite simply a detailed account of how I train to be strong, even though I'm built like a 6th grader.

Tuesday 9.20.11

Today turned into an unscheduled off day for me because I needed to watch the girls when I got home from work. So I made the best of it and did some gymnastic strength and mobility work at home:

-40 second handstand hold
-3:00 of hollow rocks (took me 6:18 to accumulate all 3 minutes)
-5:00 middle split hold
-5:00 pancake split hold

This is a pancake split hold done properly. My legs were at about 45 degree angles, and I couldn't come remotely close to touching my chest to the ground. And it still hurt.
