14 SEP: 3 workouts in one day!

Sunday was incredible. We had great temperatures and low humidity, so I was eager to do as much as possible.


Noon-ish workout:
  1. Front squats: 115 x 2 x 15
  2. Overhead press: 105 x 2 x 15
  3. Pullup: bodyweight x 2 x 6
  4. Bent Row: 95 x 2 x 15
  5. Swiss ball crunch: 20, 10

2:30 - 4:00: Hiking for 4-5 miles through some moderately difficult terrain.
The hike was nice. We broke a good sweat and kept the pace very brisk.

11:20 PM: Indoor soccer
HOLY COW!!!! This is like running 20 yard sprints non stop and in every conceivable direction for an hour. INCREDIBLE!! We had enough players for subs, but I still got a lot of time on the field.

Looks good. 3/day is possible if they're all pretty low intensity or if you have the highest intensity for the last workout. I've scaled back to working out every other day for while I go heavy. Crossfitting with heavier weights is much harder on the joints. I can't maintain the frequency of 3 on/1 off even while lowering the volume and intensity.

Intro to Calisthenics

 I'm kind of big and kind of heavy. I weigh 235 and wear XXXL shirts ťailored to fit my size L waist.  Even so, after moths of consistent effort, I'm strong enough to incorporate calisthenics as my primary form of training volume. My current plan is paying off in the form of major leaps in endurance, tighter physique, and fat loss.  The schedule is: Mon - whole body Tue - arms Wed - whole body Thu - off Fri - whole body Sat - arms Sun - off My torso has always grown faster than my arms and I need to build proportion, so they get 2 dedicated sessions a week.  A typical whole body session runs like this: 1. Single leg calf raise: 3-100 method* 2. 10 min EMOM: Big power movement like deadline, or snatch grip high pull, or clean&press.  Start at 10x3 and stick with the same weight till you can perform 10x6.  Rotate between 5-6 movements every session. 3. Conditioning circuit 1: 5 rounds of   A. Pushup progression   B. Pick a single leg squat patte...

The Warrior's Path

This year has been a real test of character, and I have to say, I  passed with probably a B+, or maybe A-.   What makes a warrior different from the ordinary man is not whether he faces obstacles or not. We all face obstacles.  No; what makes a warrior different is how he faces the obstacles. An ordinary man and a warrior will both map out a course to  their objective. The ordinary man will get distracted along the way.  He might see the trail up the mountain and convince himself he never really wanted to reach his objective. When his arms go numb from shouldering the load, he discards item from his pack he suddenly sees as unnecessary.  He might sprain an ankle, call 911 and decide the course is too dangerous for any sane person to attempt.  So much the better, because now he has plenty of time for other more important things.  Isn't it football season anyway? The ordinary man makes excuses to stay ordinary. The warrior notices and ...
