TUES 16AU051830

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! -

WALK - 0.5
JOG - 2.0
WALK - .15
JOG/RUN - 1.1

Stretch

This was not cool...
I said this morning that I felt fatigued...

Well after the first mile, it was evident why!?!
My entire body disputed me attempting to run

In the last week (that I took off)
I did zero cardio, so I put on five pounds of flab

This combined with the new Olympic stuff
crushed my legs

I couldn't muster a stride until after two miles,
then when I was loose enough to go
my quads, low back, and even calves went...

GOOD STUFF! -

Lifts are looking good. How do you like doing the Jerks and Snatches??

I'm not that hot on the technique yet, but I'm losing my fear
of throwing the weight around and over my head...

My whole body is wrecked from the lifts
They hit such different muscles it's not even funny

And even though I cant lift shit in the gym,
I am super strong, looking at everyday stuff...
...like my girlfriend weighs about 130, and I can now
toss her around like a rag doll

It feels good to put working out to some use -

Nice

Hopefully you are only tossing her around between the sheets

I'm anxious to start trying some new exercises over the next couple months. You don't see too many people at LTF doing Olympic Style lifts.

The hard part is setting the weights down gently
these lifts are mede to be done with bumper plates

In this case, it was lovingly in the parking lot at BWW

SAT 19AU050730

Internal & External shoulder rotations
1/0/1 [0]

15x3-sets of each motion
int-in
ext-out
int-dwn
ext-up

shoulder stretching with olympic straight bar
(snatch width grip)

lower body and back stretching

HOT-SPA
more lower body and back stretching

COLD POOL
10 laps w-paddle board (practicing breathing)
20 laps freestyle
6 laps breast stroke

This was a freakin joke
I am not trained for waterborne fitness any longer
(But, that's why were here right!?)

my stroke proficiency is Shit
it was only on the last five laps of freestyle
that I got my breathing and pace under control

After every lap I had to stop and gasp (not cool)
and my technique in the breast stroke is like a retarded frog -

I am used to the running, where I can keep a constant flow of oxygen
moving into my lungs!!!!....

-This is very different, I know how I am supposed to breathe,
but my body has not been conditioned to conserve o2 like that -

Again, technique and repetition will create mastery in the water

the whole thing took about 30 min (decent cardio)
and I would have gone to 10 laps on the BS but they
cleared the pool due to possible lightning strike -

(F#$king MI)

we are here to learn and improve, and this was a good workout for my shoulders....
I hope to improve before Vegas -

**yellowmoomba** · 08-20-2005, 10:50 AM

Are you training for a Triathlon ?? Swimming sucks...

I mean it's hard

**King Silverback** · 08-20-2005, 10:51 AM

Pretty interesting stuff in here BRother Monkey!!! I'll read up on your journal to get a better idea!!! I hear ya with the swimming, it's ALOT harder than people imagine, keep it up and you'll be as good as Ian Thorpe my Friend!!!
