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

[shiznit2169]

lol, when i first saw WTF Training Camp...i immediately thought of "what the fuck training camp" haha.

It does look like a good camp, you're willing to pay and fly out to do that for 2 days? Lots of dedication you have.

 

[Emma-Leigh]

So I did something totally impulsive just now. I signed up for a weekend training camp at the Women's Tri-Fitness camp in Tampa, Florida.

July 22-24 i will be out there doing all sorts of fun stuff! WOO HOO!

Here's a link if anyone's curious!
http://womenstri-fitness.com/comp_tcamp.htm

I was looking at this very site a few weeks ago thinking HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE!!

It will be a great opportunity for you to talk to people involved in tri-fitness/obsticle type stuff too... Get an idea of what it is all about...

 

[SpinQueen]

I miss you, girl!

When are you coming for a visit?

 

[SpinQueen]

Oh, the training camp looks like fun! I wish I could do it with you, but I'm not sure I could hack it.

 

[GoalGetter]

I miss you, girl!

When are you coming for a visit?

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!

How are you!?

I am not going to miami for a while. Probably not till the holidays. I am traveling to tampa in november for this obstacle course comp, which i still don't even know what date it is, exactly! Maybe I will just go to miami while i'm down that way.

How are things? Are you still at the same place? How's football???

I had seen this site a while back and forgot. And then i saw someone's video frmo their competition in las vegas this past weekend and they mentioned the Women's Tri Fit comp in tampa in november so i went looking and re-found this training camp. i was gonna put it off until like sept or oct. but P encouraged me to just do it now. And you know, why the heck not!

Do they have anything like this where you are?

 

[GoalGetter]

I read "WTF" as "what the fuck" even on that site. hahahaha!

Well, I am willing to charge my way there, i have no money to really pay for it right now, but I have a credit card and a job, so it will all even out in the end.

 

[SpinQueen]

Hey girl!

I bet I actually could handle it, I would just feel self-concious about being the chunky one. I have dropped 20 lbs since you saw me last, however.

I may be coming up your way in the near future, I will let you know and we can meet up for some crazy fun!

 

[sdupdike]

... like 3 more to come soon... and i may edit these designs too, the ones i just put up. But i was excited to put them up anyway.

Enjoy!

Two Types of People - something i was playing with for a while last week.

I need one that says "Leave me alone, I'm hungry!"

or something like that. hehe.

 

[JLB001]

I need the I don't want to get too bulky one. LOL

 

[sdupdike]

I've been considering buying the broccoli one, god knows I eat enough of it!

Oh wow! 20lb! Awesome! Congrats! What will be bringing you up here? Yes, please let me know when!

I think the Carb Depleted Bitch one would be excellent for this time in your comp prep. Aren't you getting ready for another show in a few weeks?? Hahaha!

 

[GoalGetter]

That's how it started for me. I made that shirt to wear to work when i worked at the engineering firm. Everyone would complain about my broccoli when i would steam it in the microwave. I got pissed off that someone went behind my back and complained to my boss about the smell and told him to tell me not to bring broccoli to work anymore.

 

[sdupdike]

Yes, and that would definitely cover it. But I'd be scared to wear it to the Y. haha. They might not like that.

I have the yellow t-shirt version, but i might buy myself the tank top (yes i have to buy my own shirts! hahaha!)

Yep, I remember reading about that in your journal. They really love my smelly food in my office too!

That's funny, at least you get a cut!

 

[GoalGetter]

yeah i don't wear mine to the gym because i work there... so i'm hesitant to wear it and offend a member or coworker or something. hahaha! dammit.

 

[Emma-Leigh]

And you know, why the heck not!

My thoughts exactly!!

Do they have anything like this where you are?

Not really - but I would have to look into it a little more.

The whole industry is not nearly as big down here. The biggest thing to happen for these types of things was Jenny Hendershot came down and did a series of 'Phat camps' a few weeks ago...

Workout - July 14, 2005 - ROWING SPRINTS

Concept 2 Sprints
Level 10
10 sprints, :30/:30

not my best set of sprints... kept all distances between 111m and 118m. I have made better distance before. Not sure why i was moving so slow today.

May practice some plyos and agility stuff later today.

Getting a massage at 430, too!

Look into it! I bet there is stuff, just not very widely publicized! OR start your own!

 

[King Silverback]

Hello Sister Ivy, hows it goin for you?

 

[nikegurl]

hope all's well. i was reading this and thought of you. you should check it out!

http://www.ftvideo.com/genex/results_05/wtf/

that sounds just like but it isn't it's coverage of a cool (in my opinion) contest called The Women's Tri-Fitness. It combines several events including
a physiqe round (similar to figure competition - but it sounds less "strict") , obstacle course, fitness routines and fitness skills (1) shuttle run, 2) bench press and 3) box jump)

you get the idea - more details in the link above.

[nikegurl]

this is great stuff! seems like "fun" in the twisted sense I have of what's fun

Workout - July 15, 2005

Warm up Bench Pressing with Bar

Workout:

Bench Press

OK before i even post about my bench press i have to explain. We were supposed to do speed bench pressing with elastic bands. However, we didn't have the right bands for it, and the jerry rig that we set up made the bar WAY too tight and it freaked me out. I could barely push it up. Actually no. I couldn't push it up at all. Soo... away went the bands.

Bench Press with NO bands
Superset with Medicine Ball Chest Pass
RI 120 seconds

75/3 x 3

THIS was awesome. Patrick put the elastic band around my thighs and i had to crunch while trying to keep my legs upright/perpendicular to the floor, and not let them be pulled to the side by the band as he was pulling on it. HARD AS HELL! I loved it.

Tomorrow, nothing but jump rope.

75/3 x 3
9lb ball / 12 x 3

The band thing was kind of funny. She is just to little!! LOL. Her little arms didn't even allow her to get any resistance at lockout. Then we doubled up the loop of the band and it was to tight.

Squat
Tempo: 1/4/1
RI 60 seconds
95/5
105/5
115/5

this was just balls out awesome!! She really worked for it.

Dumbbell Overhead Press

SLDL

this was awesome too. She was screaming.

the rows were great also, she was working her ass off on that last set.

Okay, so she has two days of workouts there. they are both total body. Anyone who can see the pattern of what I was going for on this two day program will receive 10 points.
