24th of January, 2014 — Workout — Wide Grip Pushups, Military Press, Close Grip Pushups, Dips, Leg Lifts, Supermans, Bicycles, & Hyperextensions

CONVICTS!

Going to crank out two days worth of work today BECAUSE I CAN! I also took the full package of pre-workout that came as a sample with my protein powder. Didnt realize it was two servings … whatever. Just super itchy today!

Was a fantastic workout today, I felt like one day a week for the pushing exercises was a bit weak, especially because ten reps isnt really a challenge … I’m psyched for the Power Block next week. I’ll be even more psyched once I can get my RING ROUTINE BACk! ( Yes I’m still a bit pumped up even after my workout )

I will say that those Hyperextensions at the end were rough. I had to dig down and persevere to get those last three reps, with good form of course.

How’re you all doing with your workouts? Until next time convicts!

STAY STRONG!

21st of January, 2014 — Workout — Bulgarian Split Squats, Side Lunges, Sandbag Squats & One-Leg Romanian Deadlifts!

TIME TO GET THOSE LEGS WORKING!

I know how much you all love leg day as much as I. It takes a certain person to be able to put themselves through all this much fun day to day though, and I know you all have the characteristics of champions.

I’m going to try and do all the workouts today with the sandbag on my shoulders ( Except the Side Lunges ) HERE WE GO!!

Holy hell, you wouldnt think 70lbs of sand would be able to wreck my legs like that. I almost fell over in the shower washing my legs! Damn … A good one today that’s for sure. Those Bulgarian Split Squats with the sand are no joke. I feel like they’re on par, or a bit harder than the Alternating Back Lunges. It’s almost the same motion, but something about the leg elevated seems to make it a bit harder. What do you think?

I love the feeling after doing a leg workout though. My entire body has this fantastic ache about it. With that, I’ll leave all you fine folks to finish up your workouts. I’ve a bison shoulder roast and mad veggies to consume 🙂

STAY STRONG!

5th of January, 2014 — Workout — Wide Grip Pushups, Sandbag Rows, Military Presses & Let Me In’s

BA BA BA BAMMM!!!

Hot damn I forgot how much I love working out. I also forgot how much discipline that’s needed as well as perseverance. That was rough towards the last few minutes of the Sandbag Rows & Let Me In’s.

I’m definitely feeling better though so that also helps 🙂 I really need to find a way to get my Overcoming Gravity routine back. I’m a bit limited with the damn’d winter killing all my good tree spots. I RRRRRRRRReally cant bring myself to get a gym membership just so I can do my Calisthenics & Rings workouts haha. Hmmm.. maybe I can find a gymnastics gym around here. That might be my best bet for the winter.

How’re y’all doing Convicts?!

STAY STRONG!

4th of January, 2014 — Workout — Alternating Back Lunges, Alternating One-Leg Romanian Deadlifts, Sandbag Squats & Thumbs Up

Lets GO!

Well my body picked the worst freaking time to get me sick. I probably shouldnt’ve worked out today, but that endorphin addiction is in full swing again. RAWRRR!!!!!!!

Yeah, it’s a bit rough when you’ve to blow your nose between each set. Ah well, I still managed a decent workout today. I’ve also decided to start my cutting diet a bit early as this last month of not working out and still eating my mass gaining diet has taken its toll on the ol’ BF%. I’m incredibly unhappy with how I look at the moment. It’s actually quite discouraging. Thankfully all I need to get it back is mental. I know I can alter my body well enough, but hot damn. This is the highest BF% I’ve ever had in my adult life. Although he’s awfully douchey, TMT says it best …

– HARD WORK AND DEDICATION –

STAY STRONG!
