I couldn't believe it. One of the "300 boyz" was mocking me for something. I couldn't tell what. It was during the Zercher Squats/DB Bench. I gave him the stinkeye and he stopped.
These are the guys who do 300 practice with no oomph. They do 35lbs db clean and presses like the have all the time in the world. They jump on a box 50 times. Pretty slowly, too. Talking the whole time. A short box. Not 24 inches. More like 12.
Today, they did hammer curls while balancing on their knees on a swiss ball. Then they did swiss ball crunches. Then they really, really slow upright rows (with a cable and pressdown handle) until the bar was over their heads.
These two guys look like they are in good shape, so why don't they do better? Oh, I think they are firefighters. So said the shorts.
Well, Zercher squats are sort of weird looking if you have never heard of them before. They were probably like, why is he holding the bar in at his elbows ... freak?!

Ninja Star Wars figure? Looks more like a kinky black leather blowup doll if you ask me.
A guy doing the 300 Workout while wearing shorts stolen from the fire department has got to qualify for tool of the week. Yeesh.

So Bill is a kinky blowup doll????? I will take your word for that, RL
If that were true, I'd have a valve someplace. And I'd be having a lot of sex. I think I'd notice.

A, Deadlift, 135x6, 225x4, 315x2, then 10 singles at 355 -- I ripped a callus really bad on rep 9
B1, Corner Press, 4x6-8, 100
B2, Corner 1 Handed Row, 4x6-8, 75 -- these were really hard. I used the end of bb, which is really hard and fat. Hard to hold.
C1, BB Reverse Lunges, 4x6-8, 135
C2, EZ Bar Curls, 4x6-8, 70
Bad -- callus ripped
Good -- my grip seems to be getting stronger. I was able to deadlift 355 without gloves or straps

Last tuesday's yoga was not boring. You just have to find a class or style you like, I guess.
Here's my Sunday workout, abridged, due to a time crunch. No db snatches or jumps, and there was no room for BB rollouts. I'll hit the rollouts tonight, when I stretch again.
A, Squat, 3x8-10, 205lbs (10/9/8)
B1, Pushups, 3xMax (22?/18/18)
B2, DB Row, 3x8-10, 65lbs (10/10/10) -- Too easy
C, DB Swings (two hands), 3x20, 75lbs -- The last two reps were dizzying...
A, DB Snatch/Clean, 75lbs 3x10 with each hand -- Snatches with the right, Cleans with the left. I confess that I did several left handed snatches with no pain, then continued to Clean the rest.
B, BB Complexes, 95lbs, 6 reps, 5 reps, etc.
Good Morning
Squat
Hang Cleans
BB Pushups
