Never Gymless Day 34

Morning: core
  • (15 V-ups, 15 blue band slams, 10 blue band twists, chinnies to burn) x 3
My spine still pops when I do the V-ups.

Evening: explosive strength
  • (8 front clap plyometric pushups, 12 squat jumps) x 4
  • (10 blue band arm pulls, 20 medicine ball ankle hops) x 4
I tried out my new mats this evening and they worked really well.  I got them to soften my landings when I jump and to protect my floor.  They have an added benefit - my feet or hands sink in which forces me to use more stabilizer muscles.  After the plyometric pushups, my wrists were sore and after the squat jumps, I could feel some soreness in the outsides of my knees.

I can definitely tell this workout regime is working because I feel strong and I'm starting to look strong as well.  Unfortunately, working out a lot increases the horniness and makes me feel like smashing people at work.

Audio rambling: exercise

I think everyone who reads this blog knows I'm a big fan of exercise.

Never Gymless Day 33

Morning: isometrics
  • (wall press (3 angles), overhead press (3 angles), bent over row (2 angles)) x 5s x 4
Evening: EIT 2
  • (10 burpees, 50m sprint, 10 plyometric pushups, 50m run backwards) - 15 min
I was able to crank out 5.5 trips which is a 29% improvement over my attempt five weeks ago.  Sweet.  I tried to do clap pushups for the plyometric pushups, but quickly gave that up.  I didn't exactly sprint either, but I moved as fast as I could.

I feel pretty good now so it was good I got out and about.

Never Gymless Day 32

Morning: core
  • (10 crunches, 15 blue band pull throughs, 10 blue band rotational chops) x 3
  • plank: 61s, 64s, 62s
I'm starting to get the hang of the rotational chops even if I can't do a real one.

Never Gymless Day 31

Morning: ICT 7
  • 100 burpees
  • 2 min rest
  • 4 min tabata squats
  • 4 min tabata pushups
I was able to do the 100 burpees in 17:05 which is not great considering some people can do 50 burpees in two minutes.  However, I worked up a wicked sweat so this workout was definitely tough.

Weekend recap

Not a whole lot happened to me this weekend, but that didn't stop me from bangin' out another audio rambling.  Check it out.  Somehow I sound just like Hank from King of the Hill.  I swear I'm not puttin' anything on.  I have good ears so I tend to adopt whatever accents I hear.  I work with people from all over so I must be incorporating all of them.  Fantastic.

My new webcam should show up tomorrow so I can Skype with better video.

Never Gymless Day 30.5

Morning: core
  • (15 V-ups, 15 blue band slams, 10 blue band rotational twists, chinnies to burn) x 3
My spine still pops with the V-ups and my hips pop with the chinnies.  I guess I'm still a little crooked.
