Monday and Tuesday

A couple of days filled with experiments in free form training. No sets, no times, no numbers.Just movements for feeling. Trying out new things such as hands off pull ups (pull up hard, release grip, re-grip, repeat) and burpees transitioning to pull ups, single arm holds on the rings, etc. Climbing from the rope to the rings and back, working grip strength. We need some monkey bars/free hanging objects to climb around on.Did the 100/100 both days...100 push ups, 100 squats in any order/set qua...

Monday and Tuesday

MondayFast and Furious20 minutesAs many rounds as possible of:1. 10 pull ups2. 10 db swings overhead per arm (I chose 30 lb)3. 10 plyo push ups (hands must leave ground)4. 10 tuck jumps (jump as high as possible, tuck knees to chest)My goal was 10, I got to 8 1/2 in the alloted time and finished 9 at 20:27.Grip strength really comes into play later, as the pull ups take it out and the db swings become a real challenge with the forearm locking along with the grip.Finished with a few V-ups, turkis...

Sunday

Welp, Saturday was somewhat of a rest day.Sunday, up at 5:00 am and on to Crandon Park for race 2 in the Key Biscayne Triathlon Trilogy.In the first five strokes of the swim I had my ankle timing chip stripped from my ankle by another swimmer, thus disqualifying me from the official standings. I was happy that I started my watch.It was a tough day. Choppy water made for a bumpy swim as the front four of us kept bumping and had a sloppy turn that included all of us getting tangled and then having...

Saturday 1pm class @ Garage

First saturday class. Did not have much of a turnout. Joe did make it though a bit late. We put him through the wringer. Ladder drills with pushup/bw squat at the tails, followed by FRAN in which he beat his previous time by 3 minutes to make his new time 9:36 . Followed that up with 60lb 1arm rows. Then abs, core. Finished off with a tire slam. This is Joe. GO JOE!

Helps out.10 miles, 21:53, 27.3 mphI'm not sure how accurate the speed/time is with this thing, but It's getting to be a good feeling on the bike, can't wait to upgrade to a better, more fitted bike and see what happens.Two thousand dollars of geometric speed...To credit card debt or not to credit card debt...that is the question.3:45 pmInfinite Intensity Day 18A. 2 dumbbell split snatch (side...
