Day 146: Warrior Challenge 6/4/08
Fast and Furious: Pullups x10
DB Swings x10(per arm) w/35lb
Plyo-Pushups x10
Knee Tucks x10
Repeat as many times in 20 mins...Last time I did 8 circuits...
This time I managed a little of 9 complete circuits...The pullups are draining. I don't know how to kip so I can't go fast. I fatigue quickly. But I'm happy w/9 circuits.
Ring Dips: 5 Dips on the minute for 10 mins....50 dips total
Body Rows: 12 Rows on the minute for 10 mins....120 rows total...
Finisher: Farmers Walks: 3 sets....w/88lbs....1. 60s
2. 52s
3. 45s
I increased my times on all 3 sets. Working towards 60s w/3 sets of 88lbs.

Great job on the 5 min + plank - how do you factor in the 25# chicklett that sits/climbs on your back in the middle??? Maybe you should teach her to hold a plank?

Just wait till you do some of those workouts, wiped out isn't the word!
But after you pick yourself off the floor, you'll feel great. |

Day 149: Off Day 6/7/08
Day 150: Manual Labor Day 6/8/08
4 hrs of breaking up concrete w/a 65lb Jackhammer in the 97 degree
heat and sun. Talk about sweating......Was supposed to do Max Strength but after the concrete fiasco I was beat, forearms and back mainly....So I just did a quick 100 Burpee Challenge.
100 Burpee Challenge: as fast as you can.....5:31...first time I've done this so seems alright. I was fatigued to say the least. Room for improvement for sure....

Yeah, I kinda just made that up on the fly b/c I couldn't do the prescribed challenge because of time, so I did that instead. Here is a link to the Deck of Cards workouts w/a workout generator excel file at the bottom. It creates workouts for you w/the "cards" already printed so you can just follow it w/o needing the cards. Hitting F9 gives you new exercise combos. Pretty neat when you need a workout but don't have time to think or like me can't think of what goes precisely where.
