I'm done and pretty much satisfied, with the new PR on the over-head press at 71 kg, and nearly hitting the 76 kg I'm really happy and makes me believe I will easily exceed my target of 100 % BW by end of this year :)

* Hanging KB Bench Press is one amazing movement that challenges oneself's pressing-ability and puts a lot of stress on the stabilizing muscles in the shoulder and pectoral areas, the KBs hanged from each side with a rubber resistance band shakes like crazy during the ascend and descend increasing the weight felt beyond the actual weight and strengthens the stabilizing muscles on its way.

Why Project HULK?

I have always found it hard to keep record of my training logs, or track my progress, so I decided to create this blog as a tool to help me plan my fitness goals, keep track of my training and nutrition, and measure my progress through the planned goals.

Since I've been picturing the incredible HULK as the perfect image of my version of triathletes; a Strongman / Powerlifter / Olympic Weightlifter combination; the sports that have been grabbing my attention and shaping my training over the past 10 years, so I decided to dub my project for 2014: the Project HULK.
