It's been a while since i've posted something here but i have been keeping in decent shape.

Workout the other day:
Tabata

Alternating push-ups on a platform
side jumps over a bag
kick flips into a pull-up
***this was pretty awesome i didnt feel tired in the cardio aspect but my muscles are pretty pumped today...
front squats while holding 30 kg bag

Iron Cross

Thinking about Going for the Iron Cross. So I had my rings low and had my feet resting on a chair as I lowered out towards the Iron Cross. I think a better way to get there might be to put some kind of band between the rings for some assistance. I'll let you know when I get it.

Dark and Dirty

Ran the Dark and Dirty 6.66 mile night time trail race. WOOT! So much fun. So dangerous. Hauser and I came in around 59:00. We placed 25th and 28th outta 375. So we are gonna start a racing group that consists of people that want to run ridiculous races but not actually train.

Squat Jumpin

So Hahn was saying how the air alert II is vicious. Well it is but doing a tabata of Squat jumps (about 15/20 seconds) ends up being 120 jumps. Thats flippin Rough. I felt burnt out and my legs still hurt for my 6.66 mile night trail run. I'll keep you posted on how that goes considering I haven't been running enough lately. I also did some L sits and pushups on my pull up bar. Neautral grip and overhand grip. I also used the bar for my L sits. Maybe I ll post pics to show you what I mean. KABAAM! (Thats Eddie Baran check em out hes the ab king)

I was Ruuuunin!

Ran 3.6 miles.
3x12 pullups (neutral overhand neutral grip)
3x12 hammer curl
Who wants to be a millionaire!
G'night.

Kettle Ball

So I was going to buy a Kettle Ball the other day but then I remembered that I am living in poverty (literally) and I have to heat my house this winter. Needless to say, I didn't buy the Kettle Ball.

Sooo Tired.

I took a three hour nap today.

Taba ....TAAAAAA!

Tried out the new tabata burpee to rafter pull up.
PHEW!
It was rough. A couple times when I was tired I didnt grab the rafters or only grabbed with one hand. Those were rough.
2 x 25 board and pipe pushups
3 x 10 Inverted pushups
3 x 10 Ring Flies
3 x 8 Ring Dips

TSAAAA!

Soccer

I played in the Inaugural Alumni Soccer game at SV. That was two 30 minute halves.
I did exactly what I didnt want to do and that was get spiked in the ankle. Feels great.
Then I did 3 x 12 Pull ups
Crap I forget the rest. But I hung out doin L sits and workin on my V sit for a while.

Two Tabatas?

Tabata 1 - Burpee to pull up Tabata (as seen on videos on side panel)
Tabata 2 - Step Ups

3 x 8 Ring Dips
3 x 10 Leg Raises
3 x 10 Dumbell Military Press

So I just got totally burnt out by the time I did military press. I dunno if it was because 2 tabatas for the first time. Maybe 8 minutes of Tabata action is just too much. Or because I hadn't eaten lunch and then ate some Soba noodles right before I exercised. Or cause I am tired. Either way I petered out and didnt finish all of my exercises

A word about Burpee to pull up tabatas. My bar is reachable from the ground so I would jump and then have to step forward and grab the bar and pull up. this was maybe 3/4 of a second that felt wasted and not as physically as exhausting as it should be. So, I tried one in my attic and having to jump to the pull up is much better. So I would do a burpee and on the jump have to get high enough to grab the rafters and go right into the pull up. This felt much better. There was less wasted time and you really have to exploded to make sure you get a good grip on the rafters. I am gonna try it that way next time.

I did my step ups on "The Step" some workout product my mom owned. Its just like a 6 inch step.
