Escape artist Alexanderia the Great is training underwater by lifting weights in this case 25 pounds barbell curls while holding her breath. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Alex does 2 sets of 15 reps with 25lbs and does 5 extra curls for a total of 35 reps underwater. The stress in lifting underwater simulates the stress she goes through when battling shackles and chains. I do know that you are not supposed to hold your breath when you lift weights but the extreme stress in apnea helps me to better handle breath holds underwater for my escapes.

Weighted Pullup/Chinup workout today….
Started off by warming up the upper body with the bench. I hit a relatively easy PR with 335 lbs (still feeling weak from the flu and hitting bench yesterday).
The weighted pullups/chinups all felt pretty good, so hopefully it won’t take me too long to hit my goal of 5 reps with 100 lbs.
Another goal of mine is to be able to do a Muscle Up. So, I used some band assistance at the end of the workout to practice those. I need to try these on a straight bar, as my bar bends in at the middle so I have nothing to muscle up to. I’ll try it at the park next time…
I finished the workout how I started it….on the bench. I wanted to see if I could hit 10 reps with 3 plates (315 lbs) with one breath. It wasn’t too bad actually…a fun little test.
Thanks for watching…
