Determination. Train like a Champion.

You guys should try experiencing the Sheika and the Incredible Hulk (both in Florida) as well as the superman (6 flags). Incredibly fast.

The Sheika, there are 6 seats in each row. We sat in the front because once you get to the top, the big drop is COMPLETELY vertical (like this | ) and you just drop as if you're not even on the damn roller coaster. Scary sight.

When you are going up on the Incredible Hulk, instead of reaching to the top and then dropping really fast, the roller coaster pauses half way through and then stops for 2 seconds. Then out of nowhere it just takes off like lightning fast for the rest of the ride. It was totally unexpected.

The superman, well i have no words for how fast that one is.

ivonne grew up in florida and talks about those rides all the time and how great they are. She even said....there was nothing like the millenium force! she said cedar point is the best theme park she has ever been to...and she is a roller coaster enthusiast.

the best coaster i've been on is the kingda ka at 6 flags by my house, bout 20min away... thing is ridiculous. goes 128mph in 3.3 seconds and stands 450+ ft tall

i've also ridden the hulk in florida... its sick, but nothing like kingda ka or nitro

 

[GoalGetter]

we rode all of the roller coasters in the front seat. it is the only way to ride.

Look who's agreeing with me now!

we waited an extra 30min just to sit in the front seat! Boy was it worth it.....it was awesome.

It really was. This is the best rollercoaster experience of my life.

Yeah, it is very good for someone who doesn't train, is overweight, and 2 weeks coming off of an ACL repair...Or Monkey Man.

BW- ???


well, some days you just aren't all there and today was one of those days.

I am pretty beat up. Sore, stiff, blah blah. This training cycle has been lots of low reps, for about the past 7 or 8 weeks. I am beat now. Performance is starting to slip a bit. Which is fine. That is what I wanted. To over reach just a bit. Today was the last training day of the week (may try and run tomorrow if I can) so next week I will unload and take it easy (keep the bar off my back so no squatting either) and then I move on the 15th. The week after that I will just do some high rep stuff and then I will go with some higher rep stuff for the next few training cycles (probably round out the summer with high rep stuff), 6-8 will be the heaviest I go on the lifting exercises and then reps on the power/explosive stuff.

so, here was todays workout. It sucked.

split jerks (off the rack)
225/3 sets x 1 rep
245/2 sets x 1 rep

clean pulls
275/4 sets x 3 reps

incline DB press (really high incline)
100/8
100/7

clap pull ups on a square beam
BW/8
BW/6

DB curls
45/2 sets x 6 reps

tricep pressdown
160/2 sets x 20 reps

why 20? well, 160 was the entire stack (light stack!!) so I just did 20s. whatever.

glute ham raise
BW/2 sets x 12 reps

done. fried.

What gym are you going to while in Cleveland?

depends....sometimes Fitworks and sometimes King's Gym (it is a pretty popular powerlifting gym. they hold a lot of USAPL competitions there).

Heh, missed this post... Sounds awesome, I better bust my ass until then so I don't appear to be a pansy

 

[P-funk]

Hey sexy boi~

yo man!! Where the hell have you been!! What's doin'?



Monkey- I hear ya bro. I'm not knocking on you. My right knee hurts on and off. I think it may be patellar tendonitiis. I hope it isn't my mensicus.


Sean- Don't worry man. I am a panzy already.

Oh buddy...

I don't like to hear that -

Are you doing a self-bootcamp before summer camp?
So you don't look like a slob?

(not that you are a slob)
But I know you guys want to appear tough as nails...
I would!

 

[P-funk]

Oh buddy...

I don't like to hear that -

yea, I don't like it either. Part of the game though. Gotta just rest and ice.

I wasn't aware that I looked like a slob now?


I don't give a fuck about how I look at summer camp.

oh, lol.....appearing tough as nails means nothing to me. Actually, when we are giving seminars to the coaches I think that is one of the big things I want to discourage. A lot of high school coaches still have it in their head that "you need to be more hardcore then everyone else" and they over train the kids and run them into the ground. I am more into teaching people proper ways to progress their teams then trying to act like they are a bunch of foot soldiers. Working hard is good......over working is not.......being an intelligent coach will get the job done.
