Yeah you gotta watch out for bad snatch. It'll do a number on ya in a hurry.

Nice work on the program you put together for yourself too. My trainer gave me goblet squats to do this morning in roughly that rep range (lower weight though) and I was dying by the time I was told to stop.

FYI: Hubby's driving through you today. Hope you enjoy it.

Let's come up with a couple of GPP routines that we can agree on using to challenge each other. Some of the II ones are good as is, but some use things I don't have.

Sounds good. Let me get a new, more permanent log started up, then we can look ahead and see where we can match up GPP or bastardized Warrior Workouts and go from there. Preferably they'll be something easy to track--personally, if I do a timed set of anything, I tend to lose count.

I prefer reps for time. 100 MB Slams for time, or 5 circuits of snatches, burpees, pushups, etc for time.

On the forum over there, those guys do 5 rounds or 30s burpees, 90s lunges, 30 seconds pushups, 60 jumping jacks, etc. 5 rounds. Talk about annoying. How would you keep that straight? You don't. So I don't try.

Max reps in a time is okay, it just has to be one thing or counting rounds of things with the same reps only.

You good with those?

A1, Sandbag Shoulders, 115lbs, 10/10/10
A2, Powerovers, 10/8/8

B1, Ab Wheel Rollouts, 10/10/10
B2, Two Point Row/Elbow Out, 80lbs, 8/8/8 (each side)

C1, MB Pushups w/feet on crate, 12/10/8 (very shaky at the end)
C2, Single DB OH Reverse Lunge, 25lbs, 10/10/10 (each side)

D, MB Slams for time, 100 slams, 3:29. -- suckage

I'm seriously deconditioned compared to my last MB Slams test (February 2nd). It took me 40s longer and I was dying this time. I could tell my time was sucking so I kept going and going, but it was with a lot less oomph than ever before.

I wish I knew how to whip up a little database that would help me keep track of all my lifts over time. I'd love to sort by MB Slams, deadlifts, tricep kickbacks, etc. and generate a report of my "progress."

Powerovers need to be fewer reps and more sets. Rep 6-10 weren't what they should be, in retrospect. Power was the goal. Oops.

Yeah, that's cool, much easier than trying to keep count of reps in a given time period. Composing the initial post as we speak.

With a bit of planning you could probably put something together into Access I'd think, or Excel. But I'm not sure that numbers tell the story, so much as the qualitative data would.

Not to promise vapourware features, but that's actually on the list of things I'm going to add to werkit.com.

First I gotta figure out how to write code about a billion times faster.

I'll flip through the book later and see what's what with the ones Ross has there.

Coming soon, Terry. Nothing to write home about though. I look basically the same.

I know I can do it in Access if I try. It's just a PITA to learn it all over again. Once, I used to do relational database administration and management. I know I have it in me, but when I finally figured out that all I needed was Excel for my personal use, all that knowledge left me.

The thing is that it would be neat to have. Not necessary at all. Somehow I doubt it will help make me stronger or hawter.


In other news, I'm attemptiing to increase my NEEE.

We can add something else to that now and it's called neee.

Say it with me, neee

NEEE stands for Non-Exercise Energy Expenditure

Which means what you do outside of your workout to burn calories.

It really could be anything, it could be mowing the lawn, it could
be doing intense yard work. Anything that raises your metabolism
and makes you burn more calories.

It doesn't have to be anything long either. For me it's jumping rope
like Sly in Rocky.

I do it for about 4 or 5 minutes, am covered in sweat and have
burned probably another 200-300 calories on top of my workout.

Not bad right?

That's some serious jumpropin'

Gawd I hate when people suggest excel for crap that isn't spreadsheetin.
*shudder*

/end minirant.

Please tell me that you are not seriously reading anything that idiot has to say?!
Ummm ... and I believe the term is actually NEAT!!

It's like Get Smart, but with training and nutrition.
