GORUCK Challenge

[zhivago]

Alright for today's effort

Tabata - increased to 30 on 10 off x 4

I held a steelbell both hands straight out from my chest. Then I twisted right like I was slamming the bell into a wall and returned as quickly to center as possible, then I did that off to the left side
Mtn climbers

Next got down on the knees and took the steelbell starting on the floor to my right I broght it in a ach over my head over to the floor on my left. did that back and forth
with a smaller steelbell held between my knees I did double crunches

Russian twists (modified) legs off the ground crunched up and with the steelbell held straight out twisting to both sides after each full twist pressing the bell at center overhead
squat jumps with steelbell

Slams with steelbell for 6 rounds

sorry for the long description but your welcome for no pics of the events (trust me)

[seanocono]

Haha. Love the descriptions, Z. Keep 'em coming.

[madmonday]

all times 3

25 mountain climbers
  5 assisted pull ups
10 push ups
jump rope till jello legs can not or jello arms can not

i passed so much gas during this circuit i was happy to get out of the dungeon.  wil get images up when i can get someone to come down with a gas mask.  went to the doctor about all my creaking & cracking & he asked if i wanted to get an mri on my shoulder or knees. . . . after giving it some thought i decided the worse could happen is one of my limbs falls off & then i don't have to worry about it hurting any more.

my doctor laughed & wrote something in his little book with a worried look on his face, which caused me to laugh.  he told me when i come back i have to bring a legal guardian, an adult,  or even worse my wife. think i won't be going back until after October 2013 

i think i'll keep at it cause if i don't mind the rest doesn't really matter.  oh also i have much more energy on a consistent level & have been able to easily catch my kids to embarass them when they are outside playing.  sure it's not an image any of you want (besides maybe seul) but my sex life has improved as well.  exercise is great stuff & this goruck challenge stuff has put me in a great space 

thanks again zee & d666 (& lulu)

Glad all is well Monday. Now come join me 9/7/13 in NYC for a GORUCK Light.

[madmonday]

September 7, 2013, sounds doable & since it's in NY really can not really say no.

As usually i just have to check with my boss to make sure she . . .  i mean we have no plans.

So true..

Random Goruck challenge question.

There is talk of getting wet, but is there swimming?  Do i need to be Michael Phelps to do this?  Can deal with a dunk but swimming .  .  .  .

[derivative666]

Not swimming basically wading and doing calisthenics in the water.

[madmonday]

thanks d666

if i go under too long you got to come get me big man . . .  or i might tie your beard around my waist like those folks that put their kids on a leash.  if you feel a tugging give me a pull.

was just looking through the goruck site & they have some great work outs & seem to have come a long way. anyone that hasn't had a look in a while should take a look see . . .

What? This is common in the USA

[joesaintjohn]

Oh yeah, it's a requirement in Oklahoma. Kids must be leashed at all times.

[zhivago]

that explains a few things…

tabata 4 rounds 30 sec each rest 10 sec in between

lunges with sandbell overhead to start move it out front on the way down and back up overhead on the way back up
spider man push ups

squat press w/ sandbell
wood chops on knees w/ sandbell 30 sec R 30 sec L then rest

burpies x5 (angry words)

suitcase sit ups w/ sandbell overhead
plank pushups

crushed it!

[seanocono]

Okay, it's been a while since I posted in here.  Still working at it.  I'm definitely getting stronger, but Z's little piece of advice re: increasing the weights was good for the ole' perspective.  I was literally planning a purchase of a 45lb. bell that day.

I have 3 weeks of Paleo in the books.  Zero slip-ups.  I feel great.  It takes a little bit more planning (I get hungrier, sooner), but it's absolutely worth it.  My energy is through the roof; and, most importantly, my digestive problems have dramatically improved.

Unfortunately, I am going to crash hard tonight.  I'm getting together with a bunch of old college buddies that I haven't seen in a long time.  I know I can eat right, but beer will be consumed.

[zhivago]

whoa!!! as rick flair would say

exaggerated lunges w/ KB's
push ups w/ feet in bandit loops

backwards lunges
spider man crawl

skater lunges

bicycle sit ups
orbital planks left then right 1o secs each way

everything else 30 sec x 4 rounds

burned my neck at the range last friday with hot brass & have been using that as an excuse to slack off on continuing my GORUCK Challenge prep work.  the great thing is i feel like shit without the random workouts  >:(,  so i will be attempting a more structured routine sooner than later. will keep all posted

zee i always took you more for a  Big John Stud or Bob Backlund kind of guy.

that whoa!!! was motivating . . .

Jody had some brass land right between the "girls" last Saturday…me and the two guys (that I don't know) in the next lane had a pretty good laugh at her expense

[zhivago]

thanks Monday, kinda feeling like King Kong Bundy after hitting the scale this morning, need to jog more I think?

I always try to remind myself that weight isn't really everything and the way you feel and the way your clothes are fitting etc is much more important. Along those lines, things are going well out here in CO, but dropping 20 or so is really not as easy as it use to be that much I am certain of…

Doug, you take your "girls" to the range? People give me some pretty dirty looks when I take Ryder
