Osu! I've been ignoring for a while flexibility, apart from the occasional straddle stretch in front of the tv.
 20 mins: clean & pp (5x5); pull-ups (3x10); Tabata row For the next few days I'll be travelling. I forecast lots of bodyweight exercises.

Very good, Meguro! All your pull up action has inspired me to do Star Jump to Pull up variations!  Osu!

Osu! Dent, I'm glad you're inspired. I find inspiration from all over. This past week I visited with a family of rowers. That got me thinking of getting on the water again. My hopes were dashed when I did a quick search and found no boat houses within easy reach.
 16 minutes: 20 reps of everything -reverse lunges 100# -split squat 100# -hang power clean 100# -push press 100# -dip 30# and 10x10sec rollouts with stomach vacuum Not a whole lot of conditioning today. I should have done at least a Tabata row as a finisher, but was pressed for time. Maybe 4x500 tomorrow.

Don't remember. That's the second thing they taught me.
12 minutes of wholesome evil: 4x500m rowing with pullups during the rest intervals. Usually I take 1 minute of rest doing these where I row easily between each 500m piece. This time my legs cramped up from inaction everytime I did the pullups. It was a struggle getting 5 bodyweight pullups after each row. Last edited by meguro; 08-01-2008 at 05:48 PM.

Question: Has anyone ever been ambushed by a coffee cup?
The trend for the weekends has been to take a more leisurely approach to training. This workout took about 30 minutes-didn't even use the kitchen timer, just glanced at the G-Shock. -1000 m row, 21 85# thrusters, 18 pullups - 750 m row, 18 thrusters, 15 pull ups - 500 m row, 15 thrusters, 12 pull ups This was pretty much an endurance trial. The 1000 m row pretty much saps explosive energy so that the thrusters felt like squats and overhead press-no momentum. I broke the pull-ups into 2 or 3 sets. Compared to my shorter workouts, this one didn't feel like it got my heart rate as high and there was less of that adrenaline rush you feel even hours after a short but intense one.

The storm after the calm.
Set the kitchen timer to 15 minutes. -row 1000m moderate pace -row 500m for time -dips(5,5,5,4 with 35#) -chin-ups (3,2,1 with 35#) After a leisurely weekend, I wanted to start the week with a bang. The 1000m row could have been more intense- the splits were just over 2 min/500m. The timed 500m also started off slowly. At the halfway point I realized I still had lots of gas in the tank so I increased the stroke rate. I finished the 500m in 1'40". I think I'm capable of shaving off a few more seconds. Under 1'30" would be cool. What a difference 500m makes. When I got to the dips and chins the tank was empty.

More work in the workout.
Set the kitchen timer to 20 minutes. -burpees 5x10 -pull-ups 5x10 -kneeling roll-outs 5x10 -dips 5x10 The original plan was to complete 100 burpees and then run out the clock holding on to the dbs and performing various exercises till the grip was fried extra crispy. Turns out that my legs were toast after the second set of burpees. I'm wondering if I should give my legs a rest.

Osu!
Burpees and I aren't friends, so I know where you're coming from. Looking back at your work over the last several posts, I can only think that you must be getting strong and fairly ripped too. Osu!

Osu! Ah burpees, so bad they're good.
To get ripped, I'd have to burn more calories than than I'm consuming. I'm trying to put on weight so without precisely measuring calories in vs calories out my results are kinda haphazard. I notice my pants are getting a little snug. For all I know, it could be the ham and cheese sandwiches. I don't have any strength/conditioning goals like maximum bench/squat or sub 4 miles. As long as I can increase the intensity progressively, I'm good. I think about how tough extension rounds are or the last few minutes of working the big mitt and try to recreate that sensation towards the end of a 10 or 20 minute workout. A couple posts ago we talked about inspiration. guy, is a constant source of inspiration. I don't have a workout for the day planned out yet. I'll do something and post it later.

Dang! Those one arm rollouts... are done with a weight vest... and for reps...  Makes me think there may be something in just going for morbid obesity instead! Osu!

Osu! Say "no" to obesity and "yes" to high intensity intervals.
As you know, the kitchen timers rests on the weekends. 5x5 of each -hang power clean -squat -push press -dip -pull-up

First thing I did upon waking up was to hop on the erg for a 10 minute row. The first 5 minutes were spent rowing at a steady pace as my muscles and joints loosened up. The last 5 minutes comprised power strokes and brief rest periods, kind of like a fartlek. Immediately after the rowing, some push-ups and pull-ups.
It wasn't the toughest work out. On any other day, I would consider it a warm-up. But I thought about Isaac Hayes, rip, who died next to his treadmill and decided to ease into the week.

Osu! While watching coverage of the Olympics, I learned that Michael Phelps consumes about 8,000 cal per day. Amazing. If I ate that much, a kitchen timer would not be sufficient to time the workouts necessary to burn all that fuel. I'd need a sundial.
Yesterday's easy workout left me hungry for a little more. Set the kitchen timer for 20 minutes. -hang cleans -push press -dips -superman planks (alternating one arm, 6x20 secs) -Tabata row I increased the weight of the db's by 1.25 kgs. Not a huge amount, but progress.
