GORUCK Challenge

[jacoavlu]

thanks for sharing monday
I'm sure you'll get a passing grade, hell you turn sideways these days you almost disappear
(seriously how much weight did you lose?)

yesterday was cardio day, 30 min run
today was repeat kb workout, need to change up the routine a bit

here's some more stuff from the goruck news blog, for folks who enjoy reading
the news blog is really good, good people, pick any old random post, you'll probably enjoy it

i haven't lost anything, i'm still round as ever; but i'm going to continue working on it (plus black is slimming hahahahahaha).

*** should be noted that i have yet to modify my diet & haven't really been doing any serious cardio. i doubt i'm going to start dropping pounds until i make those much needed adjustments.

[bagley920]

Changes don't happen overnight. That's why I'm glad we started this a year early

[madmonday]

true, true.

reading what all the kids are doing in this thread is motivating. if i wasn't so vain i would put an image of what i look like now & then one every month as well as my amount of pull ups & run times.

it will be great to see where we start & where we end up

[bagley920]

I thought about that as well but didn't want to post pictures of myself on here haha

Seawolf can't commit to the Goruck Challenge next year, but it looks like we're going to do the one in Annapolis this fall. Still in pencil, but even if he doesn't go, I have a couple coworkers that want to go with me

[seawolf]

Doug is correct, as I'm not sure where I'll be living next year. How about penciling me in as a maybe for the Team IH?

[bagley920]

So who we got for sure? seawolf and Rafa are maybes

[madmonday]

. . .  motivated to do it, BUT can not say for sure, for sure until I know when & where it's taking place.

*** i understand d triple & big zee can only give folks dates when the goruck folks give them dates & so it's akin to, "it will happen when it happens" thingy i've grown accoustomed to on the forum. to be fair to the goruck folks we are only going into the second quarter of 2013. having dates set for 2014 for a few denim dudes wouldn't be very high on my list of things to do.

[bagley920]

I understand that Monday.

How far in advance does Goruck set dates and locations?

[madmonday]

that i do not know & do not want to ass-u-me to make an even bigger ass of me & or you.

i'm just looking forward to it as big fun in March or April of 2014

Dates are out to end of the year right now. Both Z & I have had several conversations with GORUCK guys and they are psyched about us

Love this quote Z.

ok, had a day of cardio, then a day with wine and cheese (amazing) then another day of cardio

today:
goblet squats with KB
hands close together push ups, ya know the ones where you make the DDP symbol with your hands

one arm dead lifts on each side
push presses on each side

star jumps, cause your a shooting star

rowing crunches
flutter kicks
planks

Feeling better all the time…

Started messing around with the kettlebells a couple days ago.  I'm really liking the experience so far.  Traditional weightlifting has just grown stale, for me.  I needed something new, and this is definitely it.  My plan is to get another week or so with them under my belt, and then go see an RKC trainer for a few sessions.  I just want to make sure my repaired shoulder is strong enough first.  So far so good.

once i do my challenge i can get this bastard off my car:

oh here are the rest of the weekdays:

as far as my workout i read the chain stitch massacre thread & decided Gile$ & Mega did enough running around for the three of us.

will make it up by waking up before my kids wake up & attempt to slip it to Tuesday.  that will be my cardio for maybe 5 minutes if there is foreplay.  i will then go clean out the gutters, wash Tuesday's truck & rent a tall ladder to finish painting the damn family room.

all you kids reading this get out there & do something before you end up like me

^ Monday you are the M.A.N. no matter what…and even if it's only a 5minute workout, bet you're feeling all relieved and shit afterwards! celebrate the moment Mickey
