You're just jealous of my mad abilities to pimp the gangster wear. There are benefits to the colostomy. I just haven't figured them out yet.

Back in my nursing assistant days we used to help folks take care of them. It's better than dying, but it's well into "gross" territory. Get one that's full and have the dude sneeze, the whole thing shoots across the room....the good old days.

Reps for time 21-15-9 (12:25)
Clean @ 135
Dip
Notes:
Disappointing time. I was hoping to get something under 10min, but again my skill on the cleans are lacking at best. A high note is that 135 is as high as I've ever done and I did a bunch of them! There's still a long learning curve on that one.

True story:
When I was young(er) and dumb(er), I dated this guy with super long Scandinavian blond hair. He was seriously thin on top, too--we're talking full-on pink scalp glow-thru. Anyhooo.... the day I knew it was over was the day he orderd this shit off an infomercial (a can of blond and a can of white), and asked me to spray his head.
Buh-bye.
The giant eyeball that he had tattooed across his entire upper back should have probably been a good warning sign, now that I think back on things.

Hahahaha!
Ideally, I would want my hair back, but since it would be way too expensive, I'd go the other way. Shave it.
There's alot of good looking guys with shaved or bristle cut scalps.

Oh, my misspent youth....
IIRC, at the time I was determined to date someone "weird", since the regular crop of long-haired musicians were either dating strippers and/or were already my friend, sooooo... yeah, I succeeded.
AFAIK, he killed no one other than a couple of goldfish. Not ichtycide--these he forgot to feed; they were inhabitants of the bowls that sat in the mannequin's torso whose boobs had been amputated to house said fishbowls.
He also had a tattoo of his mother's senior pic on his arm. I remember that one, too--pretty friggin odd alright. Oh yeah, and one year for Valentine's day, he went on a shopping spree at the dollar store. One of my gifts, you ask? Ant traps. I kid you not.
OK Tony, back to your regularly scheduled log.

At least a full-fledged exterminator by now... probably lacking several teeth AND with snarled hair, too. Sigh....

For time (21:44)
100 Pushups
100 Pull Ups
100 Sit Ups
100 BW Squat
Notes:
Annoyed. This was way harder than it should have been. The diet probably came into play but my hesitance towards the whole X-fit experiance is...yeah. After a month of trying it out I think I'll mosey back to what I was doing before. I learned that I need a little more heavy lifting and a lot more frequent conditioning work.

I came to that conclusion as well for myself, even with scaled-down routines. I've been able to apply the concepts pretty easily and make my own workouts, but the prescribed WODs are insane for me right now (what you did this time would've taken me an hour, mainly because of the upper-body arrangement). Hoping Schuler et al will bring me closer to just sucking at this rather than sucking with teeth.
So, what's on the agenda next?

Bas Rutten MP3 "Thai Fighting - Track 1" 10 x 2min rounds
Notes:
I used a regular bag instead of a banana bag this time. End result = I could (and actually did) do the knees (every combo ends with a knee). Long story short, I'm pretty whooped. It's wasn't a stellar performance but very acceptable.
Pha>
More of the same really. I've bounced a little bit here and there but by in large I've stuck with the same components, just arranged them in different ways. I'm thinking 1 strait strength day, 3 strait conditioning days, w\ a smattering of weekly\bi-weekly PT here and there. The strength I pretty well have visualized, the conditioning is still fairly conceptual. Maybe a combination of indoor\outdoor days. I want a stronger movement orientated deal...lateral...acceleration\ stopping...hops of some sort. Really I want about 2 days (in a row) that I don't have to do any school work or take the family on some adventure so I can figure this out! |

Good luck on getting 2 days to spend some time figuring things out. If you find the trick let me know. PLEASE!

If I tell you, then I'd have to kill you. I'll have to wait until you get your poop bag taken out though. It'll be like being a bad guy in a Jean Claude Van Dam movie. "The hero fresh off of surgery, lays in a drug filled stuper. In walks a short hairy bald man. Although incredibly handsome you can tell he's up to no good."
Circuit x 6, full rest between sets
25 Jumping Jacks
5 Burpees
30 Mountain Climbers (15 per side)
10 Frog Hops
10 Tuck Jumps
Notes:
More to come.
