"Permanence"- Track 4

I got serious today on my own- i got home @ 8 and before I got home I really was so exhausted emotionally and mentally I didnt want to do it.

I listed to some This Is Hell on the way home and got AMPED.

I wound up doing 4 rounds of a circuit that kicked my ass. It went like this

24KG RR's 5 per side
20 shuffle squats
35 yrd kimodo walks
35 yard walking lunges
front, left, and ride side planks 30 sec a side

1.5 min active rest fast paced walking.

Took me about 4-5 min to complete each circuit. The planks too 1.5 min so I'm ok with those times. The 35 yrds of kimodo walks are the real deal son! + my legs are toast and so is more core/trunk.

The title of this entry is what got me amped- it's off of TIH's 1st LP "Sundowning"

It says-
".... Bookmark this page this is where things fall apart
Remember these days, cause this is how downward spirals start.
These are things I never wanted to say, this is a place I never wanted to be...
So let it all come crashing down on me.
These are the things that we never ever wanted to know- if the good die young we'll fucking live forever
With smiling scars across our throats- if the good die young we'll fucking live forever."

Believe that shit.

Fuck ROP AGAIN

I did it again today. It killed me, didnt get 3rd rep on the 3rd ladder on left side.

I did 2 sets of snatches.

Then I did some hanging ab work from my pull up bar inside.

Then I was done and I ate a TON of food.

Serious Saturday

My friend Bonnie came and worked out with me like she's been saying she would for about the last 7 months....

We did a version of one of my favorite circuits- I stepped it up some in her honor.

We did 3 rounds of

R1

ground-up pistols (starting with butt on smal tire and standing up) 5 per leg

jog to 10 pull ups

jog to 3x 550lb tire flips

jog to 15 diamond push ups
jog to 60 yards of small tire drag

here is a pic of Bonnie pulling the small tire (I think it weighs about 90-110-ish. It really is harder that it looks. My legs hate it).

R2

5 shuffle squats into 5 deck squats

jog to 3 corn cob pulls up into 10 hands-together pull ups

jog to 3x550lb tire flips

jog to 30 push ups
jog to 60 yards tire drag

R3

ground up pistols, 5 per leg. i got through 4 on my left and 3 on my right before my legs stopped working. they failed. so i moved over to something higher. I couldnt do it from there either. waited 1 min and got 1 more rep on each leg. then it was over. here is pic of me getting up from last successful pistol from the tire...

jog to 2&2 pull ups al-la-p90X (did 2- so total of 8)

jog to 3x 550lb tire flip

jog to 30 elevated push ups

jog to 60 yard tire drag

Then it was over! We were pretty smoked and we had to put up the tire. After that I showed her some kimodo walks and we did some wheelbarrow walks but it was just screwing around.

It was a great Saturday morning workout and I think I'm going to really start blasting my legs on T & Th... Just an idea.

Excuses

Took today off. Super sore from yesterday etc and got home from work at 9PM.

Park day tomorrow and Friday as a make up day from ROP

As promised

These two really make me look like a bum, you know....

Trying to live the hype

Today was back on track with

1 round suicide frogs (20KG, 20KG, 24KG, 24KG) for a total of 40 yards distance 1 way.

Then 2 rounds

20 Shuffle squats (hands over head, heel-to-toe, jump, land opposite heel-to-toe, repeat)
30 push ups
10 pull ups (round 2 did 1-5 pull up ladder)
2o walking planks middle, left, middle, right

Jog 1/3 mile to recover

Finished with 1 more round suicide frogs, same configuration as before but on 1st leg there was no sprinting, only walking.

I was hungover as fuck today and tired.

ROP tomorrow.

Suck it, life.

"Functional Strength" Workout

Didnt workout yesterday b/c I spent the last 4 days (including yesterday morning) building a shed in my backyard for emergency storage. Then after finishing said shed, we moved a bunch of my mom's stuff into it including a piano, an antique stove (that almost weighed more than the piano) and a ton of other stuff.

I am sore sore sore sore.

I did however do some "wall presses" with the pre-fab sections of wall for the shed. Also did some "roof presses" with sections of roof and handed said sections of roof up onto guy on the roof all by my lonesome. I would say those sections of roof probably weighed about 80lbs and hte walls weighed about 60-ish. Sore.
