I think all those people are back and watching all these week by week. I'm sure they're fuming.

Yeah, Survivor tonight!

31 minutes!

Workout!

I didn't mobilize as well as I could have. It was super hot and crowded in the gym. I went right after work because it was pretty much the only chance... I tried, but ended up doing a lot of "in place" warming up.

A1, BB Push Press, 155 x 10 singles
A2, Plate Squat, 45 (10/10/10)
B1, BB Military Press, 105 (5/7/5)
B2, BB Split Squat, 105 (6/5/5)
C, Chest Supported Row, 115 x 10 singles

ugh. hot.

That knee kick was brutal.

But at least Ben let his a-hole-ness shine... I hate deceitful liars, so Russell still sucks even more, IMHO.

[missjane]

I'm liking Russell, even though he's an asshole. He's entertaining! I hate Jasmin (Yasmin?). I think she was way more of a bitch than Ben was an asshole. If I would have been Ben, I would have said a lot more than he did!

I was not so much about the knee kicking or the tackle...personally I would have encouraged a tackle from a guy, I prefer to be treated equal and would have returned the favor (that's my choice tho
My main problem was mostly with the amazingly disgusting/racist things he had to say afterwards.

Oops...looked like we hijakez sorry!

[Lost Dog]

Russell's more evil. Ben's an asshole, though. seriously. Neither will last.

Great workout at home.

Mobility and warmup. I did it!

A, DB Snatch, 80 (2/2/2/2) - per side. I feel totally weak in the explosive power dept. Weird considering how much I ate yesterday. Pizza, cookies, and Red Vines are power foods, right? And meat.

B, SB Shoulders, 85 (10/10)

Had to go inside to help my sick kids with stuff. Then Tony and I fixed the fountain in the yard. Then the park. Then Slurpee time.

Back to the yard for more workout.

A1, DB 1 Handed Floor Press, 80 (4/4/3) - only 3 on the left side. barely...
A2, SB Overhead Hurls, 85 (6/4/4) - explosively hurl them from the floor to behind me

B1, DB Row, 100 (3/3/3/3)
B2, SB Shoulder to Alt Reverse Lunge, 115 (4/4/4/4) - Shoulder, rev lunge left, rev lunge right, drop bag, that's one rep. repeat, alternating shoulders.

C, SB Carry, 115 (run up and back 3 times, 3 sets) - OMG

Great workout, but it was hard to start, easy to stop that first go around. The crap food from yesterday (not the food as much as how much, I think) took a mighty toll... I'm feeling better.

I want a beer, but it will make me sleepy.

Nice work my man!! That's what I'm talking about.

Thinking about planning the Tuesday night training menu - perhaps some sort of timed GS work for reps, or EDT style. What say you?

[Lost Dog]

Thanks. I'm in for Tuesday, as long as we can do late, like last time. I'm going to be a ways away at 5pm...

What is GS?

[galya]

Gluteal Surrender

General Strength?

Godzilla Sprints?

[RedLefty]

Gonadal Shrinkage

Grunting Shrugs

Ganja Smokage

[galya]

Wow, these were some Gross Suggestions

[Lost Dog]

hmmm...

Nice backyard workout. Beautiful day outside.

A1, Powerovers, 6/5/4/3
A2, Explosive TRX Rows, 4/4/4/3
A3, Jump Squats, 85lbs, 3/3/3/3

B1, Serratus Pushups on blocks, 15/14/12
B2, TRX Rows, 15/12/12
B3, DB Sumo DL, 100, 12/12/12 - alternating hands, 6 and 6

C, MB Slams, 10 - Then I stopped because it's too squishy in the grass. I'll do something later to make up for stopping.

Though the Godzilla Sprints and Groaning Shrugs are intriguing, it's really Girevoy Sport, right?

I suppose you're right.

I'm new

I learned it from this guy who posted in Wendy's thread. He's smart about stuff.

1. Biathalon, which is 10 minutes of single kb snatch and 10 minutes of double kb jerk. Not back to back, but both lifts are the event.

2. Long Cycle, which is 10 minutes of double kb clean and jerk.


But, it's a long way off if it happens. 10 minutes is a long, long, long time. See why the BA might come in handy?

Chris (Kuri) has competed at least once, and it's the sport that Steve Cotter competes in.

I forgot to write down the mobility stuff, so just in case the mobility police are reading, I did mucho mobility before that workout.

I also did plenty of painful prying and a lot of windmills. Windmills are getting better, but it takes concentration to get them with any sort of weight in my hand.

I ate 'okay' on Saturday and great, yesterday. I'm 178 again, today. Ready to be good for a few days, at least. I am happy that I'm not eating so poorly that I backslide.

I think my "too much food" days are getting me at or just close to maintenance. Except for Friday night (15 guys, 30 guys worth of pizza, and Gladiator on screen), where it was like I couldn't eat the pizza fast enough. ...or the cookies. ...or the Red Vines. I took it easy on the popcorn, but there was some of that, too. And little Heath bars. And Diet Dr. Pepper.

I made food for the week last night, so I think I'm good to go for a few days.

For those of us who are this old, I had a blast from the past the other night. Tab cola. Complete with Saccharin! It was maybe too sweet, but good stuff! It tasted more like sugar than a lot of modern drinks. Stupid rats ruined saccharin for everybody!

I know! Talk about pressure!

[L'ilJ]

I got a case of Fresca at the store last week. It's good! Maybe I need to find some Tab too. Kickin' it old school.

[missjane]

Oh yeah! Tab!

[Lost Dog]

Yeah. I like Fresca. Pick Up Stix has it at the fountain!

[GinnyLou]

Kicking it old school.

[stingo]

Do they make Tab yet? I see it around once every few years or so...

[Lost Dog]

Yeah they do! Same can, same flavor. At least from what I remember. Mmm saccharin...

[Lost Dog]

This might be my next pair.



I like the orange.


and here's one for yoga chicks.

Wow, those are almost attractive. I have been contemplating my first pair of five fingers, and those may push me over the edge. I did get sized so I can buy online.

I grew up on that stuff but it's not very sweet... it's like saccharine at its worst. Fresca, OTOH... yum! And faygo diet red pop. Sigh.
