Thanks, Tom. It was great to finally meet you! I wish we'd had more time and been able to join you at the gym! Next year!

Thanks, John. We gotta keep this up! It's getting to be a habit.

Doing a conditioning workout tonight.

You will get the conditioning back Roland. Speaking of that, are you running?

BSS aren't a problem, except for the balancing parts.

We ran a bit last night. I don't know how far. To the stairs, then did the stairs a few times, then ran back. Galya's really fast on the flats for someone so little.

Before the torture of running, we did some trx stuff down at the beach. Mostly screwing around, but it was fun. Her first TRX experience, so I was gentle.

TRX pushups

TRX rows

TRX Row Gone Bad

Atomic Pushups

Galya tried desperately to find a way to do trx tricep kickbacks, but it was futile.

Then, some MB throws and some sand hill sprints (where I totally dominated).

Oh please, I knew you or someone else would chime in to restore balance

Ogedei · 05-22-2009, 11:03 PM

Cause Roland couldn't have cropped said chopper out.

How did she like the TRX?

She is beautiful! The dual rotor system is beautiful in it's simplicity.

The T is for tumbling. As in tumbling into the sand when you lose your balance.

I'd forgotten that you started shaving your head. I remember the weining out on that one for quite some time

sidonia · 05-24-2009, 12:27 PM

TRX looks like fun...especially on the beach with a hawt lady...

I even got a Headblade, which actually does work better for me than Mach III. Mostly because it's almost foolproof. You just set it down on your head and roll it back.

They sell their own blades, but they seem like they must be OEM standard blades. They come with adapters for 2 or 3 blade cartridges, so unless you're addicted to a specific brand, it could work for most people. I think I'm using generic Sensa-3 blades right now. They seem about the same as the Headblade blades that came with the thing.

Huge, long, fun day, yesterday. Training, then off to mom's to take a long walk down at the beach, gelato, coffee, chinese food, bookstore, sleep.

I'm sure he knows what he's doing...

A, Rack Pulls, just above knee, 365 (8/8/7)
B, Military Press, 105 (8/7), 95 (9)
C, DB Rows, 80 (8/8/8)
D, FM Standing Cable Press, 70 (10/10/8+2)

E, Practice for Chris's Couples Fitness Competition.

24 bw squats, 24 lunges, 24 jump squats, 24 jump lunges

galya · 05-26-2009, 11:59 AM

I am so sore from the 24 torture, but we'll have to do it again to get our times down

I was disoriented when I read this and had this image in my mind:

Sorry about that.

Hi, Roland! Haven't said hello since Summit. It was great to meet you in person.

I'm thinking of coming out to the couple's competition--do you have the info?

Roland, dumb question, but did you ever find your abs? I just found this training log of yours. What body fat percentage did you end up at?

Nope, even when I was at my leannest.

I think I'm between 9-11%. Alan said 9 and Galya says 11. Still nothing but a vague shadow...

Aoife · 05-27-2009, 09:20 AM

UConnJulie · 05-27-2009, 04:47 PM
