The prettiest thing on earth....

How busy? Well, not quite THAT busy













Well to say I've been a busy bastard, would be an understatement of biblical proportions. I have been balancing quite the little pile of bowls... Job/Family/Life....

With that said, I know, that I have been neglecting the blog, much to the chagrin of the loyal readers for some time.

But I will try to keep updating:



What's the prettiest thing in the world? Well I would say you can make a pretty sweet case for a Sweat Angel.


When you are laying on the ground and rendered useless to the point where you are heaving and sucking wind and dripping like a ( insert any funny descriptive thing here) - you know you gave it your all... and in a world of small victories... that's one for the good guys.


I guess, what I've learned over the last couple of months at the crossfit gym is; that it's easy to cheat reps and not give all out effort, but in the words of Mark Twight - Why bother?

Do it right, or not at all.


That means those friggen burpees should be all the way down, all the way up, clap in the air with as much force as possible.


Pacing, is, as they say, for our feline friends.



A few workouts to try...

Badger:

30 cleans @95
30 Pullups
800 Meter Run
3 rounds

How much it too much?

After going for my 6 month checkup with my doctor, I received a scary call from my doctor's office.
"Jamie, the doctor would like to speak with you"
Naturally I thought the worst.

"Um..... Jamie... your creatinine kinase levels are off the charts"

"really"

"Have you done any strenuous exercise lately?!?"

Jamie: Well... On Sunday I did

"1000"
100 bench press
100 Chins
100 Situps
100 push press
100 Squats
100 deadlifts
100 Step ups
100 Side Raises
100 Bicep Curls
100 Tricep press down
And then, played 1.5 hours of basketball, then the night after Ultimate Frisbee.


That to me was normal, but when I said it out loud to him he said....

"Slow down; Have a great night!"

Yeah, I'll take his advice. Maybe ;)

Squat 5x5
Bench 5x5
