I Got a Million Ways to Get It...

[Scarface30]

nice work dude! Don't worry, my cardio is also pretty poor right now. Carrying a few too many el-bees myself .

Great effort though, the snatches would have made it harder, for sure. Absolutely crazy stuff. Where normal people would have wimped out and done crunches, i love that you decided to slaughter yourself instead

Thanks Gaz.

Yeah, the snatches made it that much harder, because it was hard enough to begin with!

Good circuit Looks like fun.

Not sure if I ever told you about

RossTraining.com Blog

It's a good site for training ideas outside the normal gym.

Thanks YM.

Thanks for the link. I've looked on it before, I think you had told me about it. I'll have another look. As for now, I am liking the Crossfit-type workouts. Thanks nonetheless.

Today...

12 rounds in 12 minutes
Deadlifts x3
Military Press x3
Burpees x3

Total: 12 rounds in 11.31 - combined 5760lbs moved

Brutal. Although I left out hang cleans, I did so because of my limited space in my dad's work area downstairs. I don't think he'd like it if I started knocking tools off the shelves or anything! Still, it was tough. It was kind of like a mini-BB complex, therefore my weakest link was the pressing. I was DLing way below my 3RM.

Another great workout! Nice total poundage for under 12 minutes, too!

Out of curiosity, are you going to be doing a different workout each time, or will you be repeating some of them to try and beat your scores?

Thanks Gaz.

As of now I plan on just doing different workouts each time. I needed a little change from the lifting and this mix up every day is what I need for now.

Cool, thats a great way to train. I did a few weeks of that early this year and it was great fun!

Have put a new workout on the site btw, another one coming tomorrow

Great fun and tough as hell! The workout I did today was humbling, to say the least! Lol.

Awesome man, I'll have a look. Got your PM by the way, just have not yet responded. I'll get back to you ASAP.

Today...

7 rounds for time A.K.A. 4 rounds for time
Military Press 60lbs x10
DB Squat Clean 30lbs(x2) x10
L-Pullups x10

Total: 4 Rounds - 14.29

Planks 45 seconds x2

So, the workout today was supposed to be 7 rounds of handstand pushups, which I can't do, and then DB squat cleans and L-pullups. 10 reps of each per round. I made it 4 rounds. The pullups were absolutely horrendous the last going off, I was getting a questionable 1 rep at a time. The DB squat cleans were a lot tougher than BB squat cleans, but the military press was solid throughout, although not that high of a weight. All in all, killer. 120 reps in under 15 minutes, I guess I'm happy with that part.

 

[katt]

you could always do that "yank and kick with your legs really hard" to get the pullups... that's what the guys that do the circuits at our gym do..

Haha, I pride myself in not doing pullups that way. Just doing them in the "L" position makes them that much harder!

Monday May 10th, 2010

2 hours of ball hockey.

Today

Gaz's Core, Legs and Shoulder Workout
5 rounds as fast as possible:
Military Press (60lbs) x10
Planks 30-60 seconds
Goblet Squats (30lbs) x20

Total: 5 rounds in 11.56

So, I know if Gaz takes a look at this he'll see some modifications. I was not able to do the 3up/4down tempo because I had no spotter and I have no squat rack or power cage at home. I also dropped the reps down to 10 for this reason. However, everything else was the same. My shoulders are killing me right now, too!

 

[Gazhole]

thats a great time, dude!

Was your core as dead as it should have been even without tempo?

 

[Scarface30]

Thanks man.

My core was shot. It hurts so much today still! I did try to do at least some form of tempo, probably around a 2 second up/2 second down. Not quite a 3x4x.

 

[Scarface30]

Today...

4x5x5
DB Deadlifts x5
DB Push Press x5
DB Squats x5
Pullups x5

Total: 5 rounds in 10.35, Poundage: 8100lbs

This workout was definitely harder on my muscular endurance than cardio endurance, although I'd be lying if I said my heart wasn't up!

I again switched some things around. Pullups weren't supposed to be there, instead it was supposed to be DB cleans, however, I really hate those. They feel so awkward, so I felt like doing pullups. The total poundage includes my BW with pullups (~150).

The first 3 rounds were done with 35lb DBs, next 2 with 40lb DBs. I was supposed to increase each round but did not have enough weight to do so. I think it still turned out decent.

 

[Scarface30]

Today...

As many reps in 10 minutes
4 minutes of BB Thrusters (80lbs) x30
3 minutes of DB Snatches (35lbs) x26 (13 each arm)
2 minutes of Pullups (BW) x16
1 minute of Burpees (BW) x14

Total: 86 reps in 10 minutes

This was tough. Apparently was supposed to do muscle ups, but what can you do when you can't do them? Did pullups instead.

Thrusters are brutal!

 

[DOMS]

Solid workout, man. What's a muscle-up?

 

[Scarface30]

Solid workout, man. What's a muscle-up?

Thanks man. How are things going anyway?

A muscle up is a pullup transitioned at the top into a dip. Tough stuff.

Today...

A little thing I call my own

Run 180m
2 minutes of pullups = 17 reps
Run 180m
2 minutes of plyo-pushups = 25 reps
Run 180m
2 minutes of Bentover DB Rows (2x45lbs) = 27 reps
Run 180m
Planks - 1:15 at BW

Done. I just threw this together myself. I want to start incorporating more cardio stuff, such as running. The running I did was a med-high intensity run, not quite a sprint.

 

[Scarface30]

Today...

3 Rounds for Time
Right Arm DB Push Press (40lbs) x6
Left Leg DB RDL (45lbs) x6
Run 180m
Left Arm DB Push Press (40lbs) x6
Right Leg DB RDL (45lbs) x6n
Run 180m

Total: 3 rounds in 17:45

Kinda slow, but it was decent. It was supposed to be higher repped stuff (12 reps, not 6) but I wanted to do some lower repped/higher intensity stuff. It felt good.

 

[Scarface30]

Workouts have ceased again, however for good reason. I had a phone interview a while back and last week I called to follow up, and ended up not getting the job. This past Monday the geologist there sends me an email saying that I had the job if I wanted to accept it. So I was like "hell yeah!" (I didn't write that in the email, but was pumped).

So, I'm graduating university next Thursday, and starting work the following Monday. Pay is incredible for this job, ~10,000 more than what I was looking for! . Things are looking good!

 

[Gazhole]

Big congratulations, dude! Thats the best thing that can every happen after graduating, haha! Loads of my friends have been out for a year with no real job. Nice work

 

[juggernaut]

Not hijacking your thread, as the workouts are looking good, but I crack up every time I read or hear that school is hard or busy. I have one question for you youngins, what the hell are you going to do when you get out in the "real world"?

Sorry man, but when people under-estimate how tough school actually is, I get a little annoyed. I don't know if you have gone to university or college, if you have congrats. If not, taking a full workload of courses PLUS doing an honours project on top of that is pretty much the equivalent of working 60-80 hours a week. I know, I did that this year.

I can't wait until I get out and to work at a job I've studied the past 4-5 years for. To start actually making some money. I've paid my own way through university, paid all my own bills and rent, paid for all my food. Plus still had to deal with family and friend issues on top of the stress of school.

I'm not saying the real world is going to be a walk in the park, but I feel as though I am pretty well prepared.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not mouthing off at you, I just always hate it when people say "wait until the real world."

And thanks, I've been trying the Crossfit workouts and liking them!

waahhhhhhhh I have to read a fucking book and write a paper....wahhhhhh get annoyed...I give a shit....Oh by the way, I got my Bachelors and my Masters while I raised my son and worked full time..cry me a fucking river. Get annoyed all you want. I care.

Now as I was saying, "Wait until the real world." Bitch.

Please describe to me what this "real world" is, if you can? I guess I've been living in a dreamland my whole life.

I'll wait for the real world where I'm a single guy, working at the job I've wanted to do my whole life, not having to pay for kids, traveling when I want, and having all expenses paid when I work. It's gonna be rough.

Yup, I'll wait for that. You must be on a low-carb day or something.

The real world was fine, it was the bullshit politics that made me quit and go to university. Damned if i'm gonna work a 20k job for 15k. Right now i'd love to leave my work at the office like i did then.

You're just jealous. Being a student is awesome. I can teach an aerobics class, write a bitchin' paper on gene expression, have a few lectures, and get hammered all by 4pm. Then i go to work for 6 hours, get home at half ten, post this on the internet, and the whole cycle starts again tomorrow.

Thats my point!! Thats not the real world!! Enjoy because once it's over, you're like what the fuck happened!!
