Still at it 5 days a week. Doing deadlifts, BP, squats for the large muscle groups and adding in the smaller weight routines. Intervals on the treadmill and elliptical. Running the Dogs on the side. Hit a personal best on the dead lift the other day at 220 which is big for this little runt of the litter.
Figured I was just repeating myself over and over. But I pay attention to all of you. Keeps me motivated, so thanks.
Good to hear your still at it, Battue. Seems like everyone is stepping it up.
Wife and kids are in DE for the week so I'm straight home after work so the dog doesn't go nutz, no gym. Figured it'd be a good week to keep the run/rides in the morning and take the pack & dog for hike in the evenings.
Cant remember the sequence to 220 that day. Something along the line of
10x140, 10x160, 5x180, 5x200, 3x210 then 2x220. The first few inches off the floor was the grunter. It's two days post and my back is mumbling something about a young mans game.
This looked interesting and doable so went at it today. Had to modify it a little since all our walls are either mirrored, have machines or are walkways. Substituted 15 pushups for wallball shots and chinups for pullups. Chinups admittedly easier than pullups. Kettlebell was 50lbs.
Made all 10 rounds. 8 chinups per series until round 8 when I failed at 6. Took a 30 second or so break and did the last 2 of the set.
Then said might as well go for 100 chinups and finished off 100. Would fail at 3 or 4 but finished them off rather quickly. Actually did 1 more for 101.
Not a ball buster, just hard.
Addition: There was a gal in there that would have made Smoke start grunting. I just complimented her. Worked about as good as grunting at this point....
Addition 2: Dogs need something so finished up with cool evening 3mile+ a little hike with them. Looks like I just beat the rain.
Been pretty on/off with workouts due to traveling and guiding the last few weeks... Got in the gym with a pretty good buddy with an 18XRay contract and got my butt whipped...
Warmup: 5 sets of 30 strict pushups
6 rounds:
14x Goblet squats w/ 50# KB 28 situps 13 dead-hang pullups (ended up with a slight kip for last 2 rounds) 15 calories on assault bike
Thanks for that. investigated this a little bit and found some interesting info on the SEAL referenced in that video.
The SEAL Itzler referred to is David Goggins. Goggins is currently the World Record holder for most pull-ups done in 24-hours (4,025), a fifth place finisher in the Badwater 135 (a 135-mile race in Death Valley), and an Ironman triathlete.
And while Itzler’s story sounds too good to be true, Goggins did in fact weigh over 200 pounds while running ultramarathons, an unheard of feat in the running community. And to add to his exploits, Goggins did all of this while suffering atrial septum defect, a heart defect caused by a hole in the walls of the heart, which limits a person’s endurance.
“For 34 years, David has been working with about ¾ of his heart. The right side of his heart was receiving too much oxygenated blood and the blood wasn’t going to the rest of his body as it should,” SlowTwitch wrote.
While World’s Biggest BAMF isn’t an established record by Guinness, there’s no doubt that Goggins would be in the running (pun intended).

Pretty damn tough, not gonna' lie!

No offense. But seems a little pathetic.

None taken, criticism from such a badass like yourself is always welcome...I'm sure you'd crush it, go ahead and give it a try and post your time so we can see how pathetic the workout is....
