Yesterday every inch of my being wanted to give up, call in the mayday-officer-down, and lie down and wait for Jesus to come back.
When I got home I immediately changed clothes, put on Newport, and waent to work. And the strangest thing happened- I had my best day at Newport ever. I even, for the first time, did the hot potato drill like its supposed to be done and I did it with the 16KG (I only did it for about 10 secs @ a time with a 5 sec break and then 10 more sec BUT I did it).
Other exercises went well too. I did more of them, I was less out of breath and less dead. It felt good- until round 6 and I started to die. Usually I die after round 4. This time around it was round 6 where I hit the wall. I always forget that the ab round is included in the timer in round 6 so i think I have to do that squat kick/overhead lunge longer than I do.
Still no sots presing in Newport. I'm going to start GTG with them when I am fresh. By the time it gets to the squat press round in Newport there is no way in hell I can try to successfully SP- I did try yesterday, hard, but my body laughed at me. Instead I did presses from the rack for the time bar alotted for the SP.
It will be going down soon. Maybe in another 1-2 months Newport will be my new girlfriend and then I can go up in weight on it.
Im using the heavier bells on field days (24KG-28KG) so I can keep my body used to using them.

Anthony,
I'm so proud of you for conquering that sucka as well! I thought of you while I was doing the workout and couldn't imagine how you're able to do it with such heavy weight! Moving up in weight will be my next step. You do know there's a harder version of Newport, right? I own it. Anthony remade the original version b/c Pavel said it was too hard, and he released the version that you have. The original version has 1 minute ab drills added to every round, before the 1 min rest. Let me know if you ever want to borrow it.
Keep rockin' brother!

Rock it like you already own it. Good Job.
thanks yall. Btw- that version you're talking about Nia IS the version I have. HAHA! After each round there is a 3 second pause to "hit the deck" for abs. Its not even really a pause. Its barely enough time to get on the floor to do it. You literally almost have to hit the deck to keep up with Anthony D.
I'm so glad that you were able to cop the original Newport! I know what you mean about the 3 seconds not being enough. LOL.
Say, when you do the punch matrix, do you feel the stress in your shoulders as you get tired? I am probably using my shoulders to hold me up in the push up position & plank the more tired I get with that exercise.
hope all is well!
