Here’s a fun workout that I first read about on a Judo website. I’ve since learned that it’s actually a popular CrossFit workout too. We’re gonna use a deck of cards to determine the type and number of exercise to do. We’re working with 4 movements only. :: Movements :: ♣ = Hindu Squats ♠ [...]

Today I’m making up for eating terribly last night – really terribly. We had chicken fried steaks and all kinds of good stuff at the fire station last night. Of course, I ate too much of it and that leads me to today, feeling like I need to make it up to my body as [...]
Well, today will be a bit odd – I’ve left all of my gear, all of my rings and parallettes and what-not at the fire station and that’s too far to drive on my day off… Given that, I think I’ll try to put as much punishment on my soft-ass vacation-ruined body as I can. [...]
This is the fifth circuit workout. I think these will be good to cycle through over the next month or so and then I’ll work on putting together another set. To avoid getting stale on these circuits, I’m thinking we’ll change the order of exercises and the extra work every time we go through them. [...]
The fourth circuit workout… I think we’ll have a total of 5 different circuits through which we can cycle as needed. :: CIRCUIT :: – L-seat to Handstand Stall x 12 – Reverse Lunge Hops x 15 – Isometric Curl Holds (LOW/MID/HIGH and back down hold as long as possible ~ 15 seconds each position) [...]
New week – new circuit. I’m about to start recycling workouts, but today is another new mash-up… :: CIRCUIT :: – Handstands for time x 5 (feet off the wall as long as possible – try some push-ups) – Single Leg Squats (try to get all the way down to parallel with the ground) – [...]
Another circuit workout today – I was really happy with yesterday’s workout, so I’m gonna try and one-up it today… :: CIRCUIT :: – Handstands for time x 5 (feet off the wall as long as possible – try some push-ups) – Cross-body Lunges x 20 (feet back and over as far as possible – [...]
Another 100 degree day and here I am working out in the heat at 2pm. Nobody ever said I was smart! I was all alone for today’s workout – bad because it’s a bit boring, but good because it cuts down on talking and fattening up the rest periods. Today was a bit different, as [...]
OK, I promised a good one today, so I better get a little ugly. We’re at the fire station for this one, so we’re going to work in some tire flipping… The handstands are specified in SET 1, but do these anytime you’re resting too long or waiting for something during your workout – same [...]
