considering doing a tough mudder in september.

I've been talked into doing the one in Wisconsin this September. I'm not looking forward to the extra cardio & strength loss that will come with training for it but I enjoy a good challenge and it looks like this will be one. 

Good luck if you decide to do it.

oh man i'm not gonna train for it. not much, anyway. i'll do some extra cardio over the next few months if i decide to go for it, but not so much that it'll detract from regular training. if i feel like it's slowing or taking away gains, i'll stop training and run the thing cold. doesn't look very hard.

last night, just wanted to get my HR up a bit.

BW = ???
SORENESS = abs a tiny bit
ACHES/INJURIES = toes
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- jump rope x 20-25 minutes
threw in some mobility stuff every once in a while. need my own rope that doesn't blow.

- bunch of random crap, handstands, whatever x 20 minutes
more mobility stuff and stretching thrown in

- shoot around x 15 minutes
ugly

- stretch

light your garage on fire, work out, then rebuild it. there are plenty of trees in michigan so you'll never be short of materials.

seriously, though, i have no idea whether a space heater will work because i've never been in your garage. i bet space heater + sweats + hard work will keep you warm enough, but it's just a guess.

BW = 174.6 (fatttttty fat fat  )
SORENESS = abs, right tricep (?)
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- sprint 2 x 10y

- DSVJ x 3

- DLRVJ x ~15-17
best in a while, consistent 32.5-33.5 in the middle but got owned a couple of times with the tennis ball. 

- MR half tuck 3 x 30

- explosive box squat 10 x 2 x 245

- OHP 2 x 5 x 120, 3 x 120 + 2 x 115
failed last set, dropped five pounds and got the last two reps right away. sticking with 120 next workout.

- bar roll outs
spared abs

- jump rope x 10 minutes

- foam roller x 15 minutes

- stretch

- SMR quads with tiger tail

nice workout.

210lb Standing Military Press  

Getting close to a BW/100kg press

 

Good Lord.... I need to start something like that. That just looks fun. I found that video about a month ago, but I forgot to share. I'm glad you posted.

+1

i found it through my friend jim's website. jimmy has been doing gymnastics and bodyweight exercises for a long time (he's the beast skills guy) and he was just in complete awe of this dude. the big difference he has is shoulder mobility -- jimmy is bigger than he is for sure and probably stronger with weights. but the guy's overhead mobility is such that he can stand on one hand about as easily as you can stand on one foot. insane.

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right toe, right elbow after the start of the workout
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- sprint 2 x 10y

- DSVJ x 3
decent

- DLRVJ x ~8
started pretty well, got the tennis ball out, got a couple of decent jumps with it and then landed awkwardly on my right toe. lots of pain, total CNS shutdown, i could barely get a knuckle over the rim. cut it off. also got really pissed about it and whipped the tennis ball against the wall. elbow, which had been fine, was not pleased. dumbass.

- MR half tuck 3 x 30
was gonna try to up the reps a bit on these but cut them out because of toe.

- squat 5 x 300,300,300
easy and strong except last two reps. i was pissed off, which helped.

- DB row 2 x 10e x 75
too heavy

- decline sit up + 35 x 3 x 10
one more workout at this weight and then bump to 45. second set was done as explosively as possible.

- a few random bar roll outs and two standing ab wheel rollouts
a friend was trying to figure out what core exercise to add to his routine so i suggested bar roll outs. he didn't get it so i demonstrated. he couldn't do them at all, even with 65, so out came the ab wheel. had to show off.

- stretch

yesterday (saturday):

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left knee but not as bad
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- depth jump 3 x 5
meh

- MR half tuck 3 x 25
higher than usual but didn't feel light. endurance good.

- squat MSEM 3 x 315, 3 x 325
strong, no elbow pain but a tiny bit of discomfort. should be better by next workout.

- SS1: pull down 5 x 120,110
- SS1: OHP 5 x 115,155
