August 9, 201214 yr Worked in some turkish get ups and some jump rope training after Insanity Cardio Power video. First time ever trying turkish get ups. Wasn't fun but it got done with correct form. Those and burpees are two exercises that I dread thinking about for the whole day.
August 10, 201214 yr Those and burpees are two exercises that I dread thinking about for the whole day. Love me some burpees. Only thing better is burpee box jumps.
August 11, 201214 yr Has anyone tried George St. Pierre's RushFIT? Curious. Thinking about giving that a try rather than doing Insanity over and over. Georges St-Pierre GSP RUSHFIT - Round 5, Full-Body Strength and Conditioning Workout - YouTube
August 11, 201214 yr Has anyone tried George St. Pierre's RushFIT? Curious. Thinking about giving that a try rather than doing Insanity over and over. Georges St-Pierre GSP RUSHFIT - Round 5, Full-Body Strength and Conditioning Workout - YouTube From what was in the video alone I'm not that impressed. Looks more like a warm up than a workout. Really surprised GSP was struggling that much doing that. That said I have not idea what he had already done prior to filming this segment.
August 20, 201214 yr For any Wendler or overall strength fans, this is good article... T NATION | 6 Mistakes I Made - So You Don't Have To
August 20, 201214 yr Author The Evansville tri was a success. My swim still sucks, transitions suck, bike is just ok, but my run is good Finished right in the middle of everyone which was good for 3rd in my age division. The bike and run course were brutal. September 1 is a 100 mile bike ride that I am going to pull my wife through. And at the start of October we got signed up for a Half-Ironman race in North Alabama. If anyone wants to check out some endurance athletes, I will be up in Louisville this weekend volunteering and spectating for the Ironman race. Everyone needs to check out one of these things... very inspirational. I have been training with a guy that used to play basketball at Murray Stat in the late '80s early '90s. He has lost about 60 lbs in training this past year. These things are tough enough, but imagine being 6'8" and in a big frame. That is what this guy is doing.

August 20, 201214 yr Author Where was the course in Evansville? It was actually out in Boonesville at a park. Nice park.

August 21, 201214 yr Author Didn't know anything in Booneville was nice. That was about it :lol: Majority of the bike was out in the countryside which was pretty. The town itself, yeah, I agree. The park really is nice.
August 25, 201214 yr I started doing crossfit in Feb. The box I go to has a baseline work out that every new person does their first day. For time: Row 500M 50 Squats 40 Pushups 30 Situps 20 Wall Balls 10 Pull Ups When I started it took me 10:05 to finish and it just about killed me. I barely finished the Pull Ups. This morning we had a new guy show up so we all did Baseline as our warm up. I finished in 8:30 going about 75%. After we finished we did our regular WOD of 5 rope climbs, sub 3 pull ups and 3 dips for every rope climb 10 Sumo Dead Lift Highpulls (95#, 65#) 20 Overhead Squats (95#,65#), I sub front squats 40 Russian Kettlebell swings (53#, 35#) 80 Double Unders 1600M run 80 Double Unders 40 Russian Kettlebell swings (53#, 35#) 20 Overhead Squats (95#,65#), I sub front squats 10 Sumo Dead Lift Highpulls (95#, 65#) 5 Rope Climbs I did a few of the rope climbs but after burning up my ankle I had to switch to pull ups and dips. I also can't do overhead squats so I did the front squats.

August 28, 201214 yr Author I volunteered for the swim practice today and will be up again tomorrow. Possibly volunteering at an aid station. If you have time, hit me up. Well, crap. I would have but did check in on BGP the past few days. The 6'8" guy... didn't make it. I tried my best to get him in, he just could not go fast enough on the run. I stayed with him for 23 miles. At midnight we were around mile 22. Made it back to 4th Street Live at 1:20. It was gut-wrenching.
