Desert Fire

[x~factor]

Oh, looks like I am going to either France or Switzerland for a week of snowboarding and then bac to Thailand for a week to thaw and skydive again.

Very nice!

Oh no not you doing Zumba too, it's taking over the world

Yes it is - it is so fun! And a great workout! Guys look really sexy doing it too.... just sayin'

 

[Burner02]

got the insanity and some other insanity workout. will start it soon. Just got back from another site visit...throws me off.
was supposed to do legs w/my Swedish friend yesterday, but he got held up in a meeting...so was there getting warmed up on elliptical. 6 guys were hogging the only squat rack in the gym doing shrugs for 30 minutes.....oi...so did 40 min on the elliptical.

 

[davegmb]

My gym has only one squat rack too, so it's a nightmare to get on it! Luckily not many people bother with training legs

 

[jagbender]

My gym has only one squat rack too,

Mine too But it is in my garage

 

[Burner02]

Did a quick back workout last night. Friend had to go to a meeting.

5 minute elliptical warm up

Deads:
135*12, 225*10, 315*8, 405*3, 475*0

Pull Up:
BW*5, BW*5, BW*5, BW*5
-compound set-
BO BB Rows:
135*10, 135*10, 135*8, 135*8

**Time
** The 405 on deads actually felt pretty good...so thought I'd give 475 a whirl. Nope. Not this day. I've done it in the past...so, will get back there again.

 

[katt]

I don't know why it is that most gyms only have one squat rack including ours.. doesn't make sense.

 

[x~factor]

Now that you guys mention the amount of squat racks... my gym has 2 and the much 'bigger' NYSC 5 miles away has only one. NICE!

 

[PreMier]

Thanks for the encouraging words mike, sometimes my job is thankless. There are a lot of guys here doing insanity and crossfit

 

[Burner02]

[Burner02]

VACATION SET!
17 Feb: flying to Switzerland for a week! YEAH!

Happy Bday B!

 

[Burner02]

That's a killer!

tell me about it....moomba put me onto it....he's quite mad...I tell ya!

Have you ever tried his 20 rep squat workout?
also brutal. I think I actually saw God after I finally racked the weight.
I'm working back up to it.
Take a weight you can normally do for 10 reps...but do 20. Gut check your way way thru. Do not rack the bar till you grind out the 20.


BTW: Moomba! Thanks for the B-Day wishes!
Same goes for you, Jags!
