Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

So it rained today. And it was colder. I didn't run. But I did do some one legged squats and calf raises, push ups and sit ups, and some biceps curls. The sun will come out tomorrow . . . . its only a day away . . . 

Spring

I've found that the sun gives me an incredible amount of energy. I've accomplished so much in the past three days since the sun has melted the snow and the days are growing longer. I even ran today. Not too far but I did it. It killed my lungs but it felt good. Hopefully this will be a regular occurrence now that the sun has returned.

Squeezin' it!

I started running.  Yesterday 3.5 mi.  Today I went 2 then did 4-70yard sprints then 2 more miles.  Yesterday, I worked out at garage strength.  Doin some dips, ring flys, inclined dumbell bench and a burpee tabata.  Frustrated with my meager rope climbing performances I decided to get nuts today.  I realized I was doing 14 pulls on the way up.  I feel like that is pretty significant and should warrant some recovery time.  So today I went for volume.  I did 5 rope climbs (14 pulls to my peak)  I just took plenty of rest between sets.  I think the high volume of grabbing the rope will pay off.  Then I did 4 x 10 pull ups with a towel to continue my grip strength obliteration.  Then I did rafter rows with the towel.  Hopefully my forearms feel like butt tomorrow.

I'm gonna be jacked soon

Pushups

I ran.  Tried to do muscle ups (a pull-up above the bar to where you press yourself up).  However, I suck.  Played soccer for two hours the one day.  That was rough.  

A friend of mine who doesn't exercise had been doing pushups since this past summer and did 55 in a row.  I was pretty impressed considering he usually couldnt do more than 20.  So I thought I would give it a whirl.  My expectations were low since I had only recently started using my shoulder.  I figured I'd pull off 45.  Oh no good friends.  60 in a row.  Astounding.  I might have to destroy my shoulder more often.  

This bastard does 50 pushups a minute for 200 minutes!  Thats 10000 pushups for you mathematically declined.
