Thread: GG's P-Side Experiment - Mission: Obstacle Course

your routine looks fun GG

Patrick...why aren't you going to do any more BBing shows after this one???

because, I am really just not into it. It is not athletic in any way. I waste all this time in the gym training to be atheletic and strong and then it just does me no good as all i do is stand there in my under pans and pose like a beauty pagent. I would rather do somethign that is more like a real competition. It just bores me. Plus, I hate working so hard to build my body up and get my strength up only to have it all come crashing down so I can diet for a contest.

Which coincidentally is one of the reasons i changed my mind about the figure competition.

Hey

How is NY treating you?

Don't you wish our persuasions always worked so well?

I see what both of you are getting at, and I agree with you You are both still amazing people, and whatever you decide to do, I know you will be awsome

Reactive Training:

Jump Squat to Stabilization (as part of total body circuit, see below)

notes:

The pushups! HOLY CRAP! I did all three sets as FULL pushups, on my fucking TOES! No Knee pushups for me! The last few reps of the last circuit were kinda ugly but i did them. I was yelling at myself, "FOUR MORE!!!!!!" P was laughing at me.

The DB Split Squats with dumbells overhead - I WANTED TO DIE. I collapsed after the last rep of the last circuit, in a little heap, quasi-fetal position on the mat.

In addition to this stuff, I ended up jogging home and back to the gym before getting to my PWO and shower because I went to pick up a stretching/flexibility book to lend to another trainer who was giving her first stretching one-on-one session an hour later. So add about 1.5 miles of slow-ass jogging to that workout.

300-meter sprints on rowing machine.

3 minutes warm up, light rowing

5 sprints, each completed in under 1:25 (better than last time, which I was doing 1:27 as my best), with about 1.5 minutes of recovery between sprints.

3 minutes cool down, light rowing

Stretch/SMF

oh and i finally updated my sweaty blog.

I'm loving getting my ass kicked by the most basic things ever like pushups. hahaha! It's all about the tempo. KILLING me. Love it!

What are you using for SMF? Foam Roll?

yes, foam roller.

So will we be adding some movement based stuff (Bear Crawls, egg walks, spidermans, etc.) once we progress?

Also, do you have a link to an obstacle course like the one you are going to do? Unfortunately we do not have one around here, it would be kick ass if we did?

No $h!t... They used to have some fitness courses @ our local metroparks...
But those are gone now, and they weren't as cool as a "REAL" obstacle course...

I "HATED" running that damn thing, back in the day...
Ain't it funny how you miss these things once they're gone?

(Or maybe I just miss my youth and stamina!?!?)

Hello everybody! So we got here too early to register yet. Not till 8 (but probably later than that).

We decided to walk around and immediatly found this wall full of computers with free internet access.

P looks AWESOME. Tired but awesome. Perhaps a little "ethnic" with the pro-tan and all, hahahaha, but ripped to shreds!

This is my first bodybuilding show experience, and I'm excited to see how it all unfolds. Sadly at the arnold we didn't really get to see any of the bb/figure stuff because it was $$$$$!
