Workout of the Day: Bent Press conditioning

 

Tuesday, January 30′th, 2007

A:  Snatch:  10 singles over 90%

B:  Snatch pulls:  3×8

C1:  Push Press:  3×8

C2:  Chins: 3×8

D1:  Right hand Bent Press (Dumbbell or Kettlebell) w/a clean:  3×8 (ie. Clean it from the floor on every rep)

D2:  Left hand Bent Press w/ Clean:  3×8

E1:  External Rotations (left):  3×8

E2:  External Rotations (right):  3×8

Use only 60 sec’s rest between each arm on both the D and E super sets.  And only 3 min’s between exercises.  Getting through the reps is more important than weight lifted.

Fluorescent Dildo Training

“The latest catchphrase in the fitness world is “functional training.” The term itself has been around for roughly five decades, but modern self-proclaimed “gurus” have skewed it to their liking such that it now includes excessive use of unstable surfaces, wobble-blade thingamagiggies, stuffed animals, clown costumes and the occasional fluorescent dildo.”–

All Jacked Up

 “What most people fail to realize is that the reason they are not as big as they want to be is not that they were born with a disadvantage in the “jacked” department; rather it is because their training, programs and nutrition suck.”–keith Scott

Please stop curling in the Power rack.

Public Nudity at the Rec Recess

OK, so they won’t allow that, but All the Rec clubs are having a showcase in the Smith Ballroom on Jan. 31′st from 11am-1pm.  And it is encouraged to do something to grab peoples attention.

I encourage all members to be there.   It’ll be a good way to recruit new members and eat free food.

And if you want to come dressed in a Fake Sumo outfit … I won’t stop you.  But, at least wear the loin cloth.

Workout of the Day: Friday

Workout of the Day: Friday

This is a light day. it’s been a hard week, and next week will be no different. Drudge through next 2 weeks, then a week of active rest before phase two.

Make sure you are eating at LEAST 1.5 grams of Protein per pound of body wt. This is not a fat loss program, it’s designed to make you stronger. And that is utterly impossible without enough food … good food. In fact, without it, and without sleeping at least 8 hours a night, you’ll likely overtrain really fast.

Normally, on the supersets, you should take a good 1 min. rest. But, not today. On the B’s and C’s, don’t take any. After all, it’s just 2 sets each!

A: Snatches up to a Limit (3-strikes rule)

B1: Dumbell push Press: 2×12

B2: Chins: 2×12

C1: Step ups (left leg): 2×12

C2: Step ups (right leg): 2×12

D: Ext. Rotations: 2×12

Nice and quick.
