So, in a few words (not too many so that we aren't considered "chatty") how did you get into gymnastics and did you ever teach? compete?
Samantha is really loving her Little Gym class once a week. And I think it'd be cool to see her continue.

Sorry, Greg, but pood somehow reminds me of a junior high expression for some part of a woman's anatomy.
Hey, dude, look at the pood on that chick.

He's under the weather, Jamie. He'll be back soon, no doubt.

Tues. Apr 8
ME Black Box
Front squats
1x5x 95
1x2x 135
1x2x 155
3x5x 175 (78% 1 RM)
3x3x 190 (85% 1 RM)
1x5x 135
Int. Rot (2 bands, 7 ft) 3x10
Int. Rot (2 bands, 4 ft) 3x10
As Rob mentioned I was down and out with strep throat for a few days. Started Wednesday night and by Friday evening I knew it was more than a passing cold. A few hours in the ER Saturday morning confirmed my suspicion (as if the inability to swallow, inflamed uvula and white spots on the throat weren't indication enough  ). When the ER Doc looked at my throat she went "Whoa! That's rough looking". Thanks for the confirmation, Doc. Spent most of weekend either napping or sitting on the couch and had my fill of chicken noodle soup & green tea. Finally hit the solid food Sunday night and feel about 80% today.
Good workout this morning. Probably could have bumped the numbers up a bit on the work sets but then again it is a break-in period.

I forgot to come back and say sorry you were sick! Strep throat is no fun! Glad you went to the ER before they had to cut your throat open and remove something!
Take care dude, so you don't have to redo this scene again! |

Glad to see you recovering. Those front squats tell me that you are feeling fine.

Wed April 9
4 rounds for time of:
10 jumping sit-ups
12 dumbbell push press 20% BW (15 lb DBs)
15 sandbag zercher cleans 35% BW (45 lb bar)
Modification: No sandbag so I wrapped 1-inch webbing around the knurling and held loose ends. Better than nothing....
Time: 12:10
Jumping situps were harder than I anticipated...at least the jumping portion. Cleans really slowed down toward the end too. Nice change from typical Xfit pushup/pullup/squat conditioning.

A situp with enough momentum to get you onto your heels. Jump. Return to situp position. Think burpee with a situp instead of a pushup. |

Please don't do those in our room in LR. Please.  
Glad you're on the mend. The wonder of antibiotics!

I guess jumping situps don't require lots of glute contraction, then. 
Glad you're springing back, Greg.
