Started with a 2.5m run @ 8:05min pace

Finished with 3 rounds of the following:

8 - Wide grip pullups

Takin it easy in the beginning here. Coming off a leg injury and I am also very week and inflexible...I am poo!!

Friday, August 27, 2010

WOW...I'm Baaack!!

I have been seriously slacking. Sometimes it's hard to always get to the gym, especially when you become preoccupied with other responsibilities for long periods of time. I'm currently dealing with a soccer injury to my right front quad. I have been resting it, along with ice, heat, compression, and even some minor elevation. I was able to make it to the gym to do some upper body stuff. I completed 4 rounds of the following without timing...need to ease back into it:

15 - 60lb Straight Bar Curls
6 - Wide Grip Pullups
6 - Slow Downward / Explode Upwards Pushups
20 - Ab Ball Crunches

Finished with 10 minutes of Heavy Bag work with legs relatively stationary.

I hope to slowly increase the workout difficulty and get back to previous performance level by about October.

Today I decided to just go for a long run because of how sore I was from the cross fit yesterday.

63:30 minutes ended up being 8.5 miles through some of the best sites in Jersey City! Hamilton Park, Newport, Harborside, Paulus Hook and Liberty State Park.

I followed this up with some very light lifting and 25 minutes of stretching.

Thursday - Quick Circuit

Completed 8 rounds in 20:30 minutes

10 - Wide Grip Pullups
6 - 35lb Dual Kettlebell burpee to Thruster
20 - Crunches

Finished with a 2.5 mile run in 20minutes. Approx 8min/mile pace.
Stretching & Sauna

The circuit was tough but good because the different muscle groups involved allowed for time to regroup for the next round. The kettlebell movements ended up being very strenuous in the end. Basically you place your hands on the kettlebells, shoot out to pushup position, complete a pushup, bring your legs in, and complete a thruster placing the kettlebells on the back of your wrists, and repeat!!

Tuesday morning workout

Today is my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu day. 7:30 AM we start with a light jog and calisthenics. From there we do live grappling for about six minutes. From my partners guard I was able to pass pretty easily by stacking and pass to either side. From my guard today I was able to sweep my training partner a few times and not allow him to pass.
We trained a basic clock choke when our opponent is turtled up.
The last 20 minutes of class was king of the hill. Pretty short rolls, but very intensive.

Later today will be traditional weight training:

Stength Test

I decided I wanted to see how fast I could to max out reps in the following exercises.

-100 Pull ups (neutral grip w/kip
-100 Lunges
-100 Push ups
-100 Crunches

I went right for the 100 pullups and did 15 the first time took 1 minute break and then did 10 there after with 1 minute or less break. Afterwards I did the lunges easily and then crunches. The pushups were tough after the pull ups, but I did rounds of 20 and finished everything in 20:38.

one word: swollen

Decent workout 3/30/10

This was done in a small gym in my building.

5- 110 lb. Thrusters
10- Medball push ups
10-Pull ups alternating wide grip and neutral
40-Bicycle kicks
1-Minute on a Bike (as fast as you can)

I completed 6 Rounds in 24:17...this actually really effed me up! The Thrusters were too much weight. I started off thinking I was going to be able to complete 10 rounds, but decided to do 5 as fast as I could and the last one as a cool down.

Toughmudder Training (Run and X-FIT)

We had a small group yesterday and started out with a 4 to 4.5 mile fartlek run. We got about 8 sprints in while completing a run down and back on the boardwalk.

Completed the following x-fit. We got 5 rounds in 15:30min

5 - slow/full wide grip pullups
10 - Burpees
8 - 25lb DB Front Raises
8 - 25lb DB Lat Raises
8 - 25lb DB Bent over Flys

This was a tough workout with some distance and some good upper body movements too. Fighting through some Peroneal Tendinitis...very sharp pain in outside bottom of foot :(

Wednesday, March 3, 2010

Average Routine

We wanted to get a good 20min workout in. We finished 8 rounds in 21 minutes.

10 - Pullups (4 rounds wide grip, 4 rounds chinups chosen at random)
30 - Ab Ball Crunches
3 - R/L plyo med ball pushups (switch hands each pushup)
10 - 25lb DB Squats standing on Bosu (round side on the bottom)
10 - R/L 12lb Med Ball Chops from knees

This was a decent workout. The pullups were tough trying to complete without using a kip. We ended up having to use a few kips in order to fully complete the pullup sets. I think next time we'll try to add a few more reps of the plyo pushups, and maybe substitute in a more difficult ab exercise to increase the level of this routine.

Monday, March 1, 2010

Simple Exhaustion

Complete for time. Finished the first part in 21 minutes:

10 - squats, balance board pushups, wide pullups, ab crunches
20 - squats, balance board pushups, wide pullups, ab crunches
30 - squats, balance board pushups, wide pullups, ab crunches
20 - squats, balance board pushups, neutral pullups, ab crunches
10 - squats, balance board pushups, neutral pullups, ab crunches

Finished up with 3 sets of the exercises below:

12 - 270lb shrug machine
15 - R/L 12lb med ball ab twists
10 - 65lb tricep ropes

My arms feel like they are going to explode!! For the 30 pullups I completed 15, then took a break, then finished 6, then 4, then 5. Then for the last 20 I completed 13 then 7. I was actually able to bang out the last 10 pullups straight. For these, I had to use a kip, otherwise I would not have made it. :) Also, another note; for the pushups I used a wooden balance board instead of the bosu. The balance board is much more squirrely, but definitely gives a good workout to the little stabilizers...not a bad change up.

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Bright and Early X-FIT

Hit the gym early this morning and defs beat the crowd. Complete 3 rounds of the below crossfit in a little over 21 min:

10 - 20lb DB Front Raises
10 - 20lb DB Side Raises
10 - 20lb DB Bent-over Flys

Tried to run after, but felt sick. Finished it all with a set of Chest Flys at 100lbs. I think the early morning caught me off guard, felt sick for about 30min after this workout. Not a bad one though!!

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

Another Cold Tuesday cross fit in the MB garage!

-10 Chin ups (no kip)
-25 Bosu ball crunches w/feet weighted
-10 L/R 12 lb med ball throws
-15 Perfect pushups
-15 Squats with 40lb dumbbell
-Run .5 miles at fast but comfortable pace

I decided to just shoot for 5 rounds of this which really killed me. I completed 5 rounds in about 34 minutes. I think the hardest thing in this was the running and the perfect push ups. This is a good one that we will likely modify into something bigger and better in the near future.

Cold Sunday Cross Fit

Started of with running 1.3 miles at a moderate pace then took a 5 minute break. Then I completed the following:
-10 Burpees
-10 20lb curls
-30 Ab ball crunches
-10 Wide grip pull ups
-10 105lb Thrusters
-20 regular crunches

This took me 19:51 and I completed 4 rounds. Feel like I might be getting weaker on the pullups!

Valentine's Day Excursion

Went to Garden State Rocks climbing facility in Morganville NJ. The wife and I rented a belayer for an hour. Paid $25 each and included harness and shoe rental. Started out with some easy climbs and quickly moved to more difficult paths. Needless to say rock climbing is an amazing workout for your hands and forearms. Surprisingly the climbing also worked my core and legs pretty hard. The crossfits definitely helped with strength for pullup type maneuvers. Despite my fingertips feeling slightly arthritic, I will be returning to practice my skills and eventually sign up for an outdoor excursion!!

Saturday Sparticus Repeat

Completed 2 rounds of the Sparticus workout with minimal weights.

Thursday, January 7, 2010

Got this one from the Sciortinos - MH Sparticus

I went into this one thinking it would be easy, I was wrong. You're supposed to complete 60sec of each workout in 3 rounds. I started with weights too heavy and pace too fast. The workout is below:

60sec - 35lb DB Goblet Squat
60sec - Mountain Climbers
30sec - R/L 20lb DB Single Arm Swing
60sec - 10lb DB T-pushups
60sec - Lunge
60sec - 25lb DB Bent Over Row (50lb total)
60sec - Side lunges with touch, no weights
60sec - 5lb DB Pushup with Row
60sec - Lunge with 25lb Plate Twist
60sec - 25lb DB Press (total 50lb) like thruster w/ only a very slight squat

Complete this circuit 3 times with very minimal rest in between. This was brought to my attention from my sister Kate and her husband Phil. They had found it in Mens Health and told me it was good; which it is. This is a really tough workout depending on how hard you push yourself; next time I will slow down and lower the weight because I had to stop too many times today. It Is A Good One!
