Been awhile

Been awhile I know.

In Febuary I took three months off of training to do three construction jobs.  Yet, took a vacation.

May and June were crazy months of trying to get back in shape and dealing with allergies.  The thing here to remember is, that when I train, I stay strong and healthy.  When I do not train, I weaken and the little
things come back to haunt me.

In between school upgrades, here is my first big workout:

30 minute AMRAP
200 Jump Ropes with 2lb rope
50 Squats

I made five rounds with 85 jump ropes in the sixth round.

Good luck,

Oh, monday!

Monday Madness coming right up.

Here is the workout.

30 min AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible)

  10 Knees to Elbows
  15 Pushups
  10 Pulllups
  15 Thrusters (with 50lbs)
100 Jump ropes (with 1lb rope)

I made it through five rounds and only had 78 Jump ropes left on round 6.  Sadz!!!

Good luck with this beastie!!!

Cold Start

Aiya!!!  Monday can be such a hard start.

Here you go, a Master's AMRAP 30 minutes.

Danila Komlev

Pushups
Knees to Elbows
Thrusters (50lbs)
Right arm single Row (70lbs)
Left arm single Row (70lbs)
Leg Lifts
50 Jump ropes (1lb rope)

The goal here is to max out your pushups with perfect form.  Then use that number through the rest of the exercises.  My numbers were 25, 16, 12, 17.  I finished with 4 seconds to spar.  (spent staggering over for more pushups really)

Good luck,

DarkArashi

Who turned up the gravity?

Feeling heavy today.  What is the best cure?  Try this workout.

I call it Yojimbo Usagi (based on the "disapproving bunny" workout)

4 Rounds
100 Jump Ropes (with 2lb jump rope)
50 Kettlebell swings (with 45lb KB)

I staggered through it in 20:58.

Good luck with this beast.

Back to work(ing out)

by Tsukku

Today is an easy workout in concept.

We call it a Tabata Squared.  What it is, is eight exercises for eight rounds.

You can do this in any order...does not matter, there is no easy way.

I did the following with numbers:

Sprints (24 feet)               58
Pushups                           67
Left arm single Rows        50 @ 70 for 4 rounds and 50 for 4 rounds
Jump Ropes                    300 with 1lb jumprope
Burpees                           28
Kettlebell Swings             63  @ 45lbs
Knees to Elbows             64
Right arm single Rows      50 @ 70 for 4 rounds and 50 for 4 rounds

Remember, this is 8 rounds at 20 seconds each with 10 seconds of rest.

Good luck

Old? I prefer tempered!

Decided to SLOG my way through the birthday morning.  And I was joined by Shirley and Benjamin "Viking" Carlson.

So the regular SLOG is:

500 Jump Ropes
100 Wrestlers
 50 Pushups
100 Squats

This is done in any order, any amount until you reach the totals.

Sloggier totals per round:

500 Jump Ropes          160   170    85     85    done
100 Kettlebell Swings    20     22     21    18     19     done
  50 Paralette Pushups   25     25    done
100 Knees to Chest       22     17     16     16    10     11

I used a 1lb jumprope and 45lb Kettlebell.  It took me 21:54 minutes.
 
I thank everyone for the birthday wishes all day long.  People like to ask me how it feels to be old, here are some pictures of a 47 year old Warrior.

Don't reckon I'll be modeling any time soon.  But my goal is to remain a Juggernaut...unstoppable.

This is the gift I offer anyone with the heart to reach out and take it.


Good luck,

Fist Shaking at allergies

Rough week due to allergies raising its ugly multi-headed attack on my person.

Today was a new 30 minute AMRAP (as many rounds as possible)

    5 Pullups
  10 Knees to Chest
  15 Pushups
  10 Thrusters (with 25lb dumbbells)
  15 Ring Rows
100 Jump Ropes (with 1lb jump rope)

I made it to 7 rounds with 6 seconds to spare.  (for the record, I snapped my 1lb jump rope and went back to a normal jump rope midway through round one.)

Now, if you do the math and multiply reps by the round and square the total co-efficient...you find that this = BIG ASS NAP!!!

Good luck,

DarkArashi
