14th of February, 2014 — Workout — Wide Grip Pullups, Rows, Sandbag Curls & Lawnmowers

Convicts!

It was above freezing today and it felt so good to get out and toss my rings up on some trees again 🙂 HOT DAMN I miss that. On a side note, I forgot to zip up my pocket with my phone in it and it fell in the snow pile, which sucked because I had to dig it out haha. About half a foot of fresh powder dropped last night. Ah well.

The Wide Grip Pullups & Rows were outside so I only had a two minute rest time between sets for those as it was a bit chilly out. The rest of the sets were a three minute rest period.

STAY STRONG!

7th of January, 2014 — Workout — Alternating Side Lunges / One-Leg Romanian Deadlifts, Sandbag Squats & Russian Twists

Convicts!

How’re y’all doing today? A nice balmy high of seven degrees today, what an excellent temperature to go outdoors and get all sweaty right? HA!

Yeah … I’m absolutely staying inside for the ol’ workout today – I know, go figure right? It’ll be a good one regardless. My damn’d hammy’s are still sore from those One-Leg Romanian Deadlifts from last time still. Going to need to warm them up a bit. I foam rolled them out last night which felt PAINFUL awesome!

I miss my rings =(

I think that my ol’ Dip / Pullup station that I had at my old apartment will fit in this one, but there’s basically no room unfortunately. It’s fairly cramped at the moment, but thankfully I dont have a lease at this place, I’m just chillin here ’til I can find my own. Moving sucks, especially in the middle of the winter, and especially for the third time in six months.

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!

22nd of October, 2013 — Workout — Convicts, lets talk …

My fellow convicts,

Today was an excellent test of my perseverance and motivation. That shit was so cold out there today for me. My body is absolutely not ready for that yet. I’m not sure what it was, and it wasn’t even snowing but that it was cold! That was a pretty intense battle going on in my head for about two hours before the I got out of work. It was actually kind of amusing. I’m never really sure how I can convince myself once I get on that negative train for so long!

Alas, I’ve come out ahead. Lost a few seconds on the Back Lever as well as the First round of the L-Sit’s. I also improved on a few things, so it all balances out. I was a bit disappointed in my Archer Pullups a bit today, but I’ll get it back. I need to setup my pullup station so that I can just workout in my apt again. I dont want to, but maybe once my body has acclimated to the cold I’ll go back out to the park.

STAY STRONG!

Hows things Convicts?

Posting this a day late. It was freezing yesterday though! Cold for working out at least, and its only going to be getting colder too. Some numbers went down, some numbers went up. Nothing out of the ordinary. I was pleased with my progress on the Advanced Tuck Front Lever though. They’re coming along nicely. I think the Back versions are much easier though … well as easy as any lever can be 😉

Whatup Convicts,

Well hot damn hot damn, back to the grind. I forgot how important motivation is in all this working out business. Very much enjoyed the workout today, although the entire time walking to the park my mind kept having this internal struggle. Do you remember how easy not putting in the work is? That was an excellent test for myself, the delaod week I’m talking about.

Not only did I feel stronger, although my numbers dropped, my body was ready to perform. Everything just felt good. I honestly even enjoyed doing the Burpees during my warmup today! Deload weeks are the best, I can’t believe I forgot to program that in my routine.  Ah well, it’s finally happened, and my body has more than recovered. Time to put the heat on, and get some goals met!

Oh I forgot to mention how much I missed the endorphin surge you get after a solid steady strength training session. The weather was amazing, there was this cute little asian kiddo and her family playing and laughing a lot. It was really a super stress relieving, amazing workout today.

I’m glad to be back.

STAY STRONG!
