February 2, 20188 yr I'm doing a tough mudder in June and I'm already regretting agreeing to do it! Trail run at the fort as soon and much as possible you can't replicate trails w/ road miles. Pull-ups and broad jumps will help you tremendously. The website has a workout for prep. Good thing about June is that it isn't October. You won't be freezing.
February 2, 20188 yr Definitely wasn’t prepared for the CNS fatigue today. Should have figured it out with my inability to jump rope warming up. Fought through. Terrible workout today. Kettlebell for Fighters and swings... stupid. Kettlebell for fighters is going to do wonders though. I felt it today. Today I will go to the gym and do 7 deadlift singles at 285 and then 5 100 yard old man sprints. Just finished the first part of the day and it was AWFUL. 20 minutes. 8 KB snatches per side minute 1 and then 10 2 hand swings 2nd minute. Rotate 9 more times. My blisters are all busted.
February 2, 20188 yr Is there a brand or model in particular you would recommend? Is there a brand or model in particular the biking community would recommend? Or the Triathlon community? I recommend going to a bike shop. I can list many brand names, but the fit will have to be to your body makeup and liking.

The website has a workout for prep. Good thing about June is that it isn't October. You won't be freezing. We are setting up an obstacle course at the Compound. 100 acres of trails to run, climb, jump, crawl under, etc... We are currently in the market for some used monkey bars if anyone has a lead.
February 2, 20188 yr Have been working the dumbbells at home in the mornings for the last couple of weeks trying to get my elbow comfortable about hitting the gym, all was well and good till this morning. Dumbbells were fine at home. Went to move a box of paper at the office next to the printer to fill it, picked up the paper and felt a pop in my elbow, hurts like crazy and is swelling up a bit, damn.

That sounds like fun, well all but the 285 deadlifts.
February 2, 20188 yr Author Last night did 21 min, sort of EMOM. 1st min - 12 calories on assault bike 2nd min - 15 Toes to Bar 3rd min - 6 deadlifts @245 + 6 bar facing burpees Repeat 7 times I did 185 on the deadlifts and end up doing situps instead of toes to bar after the first round.

Not many places to recover a bit in that one. You have to move a little to get 12 calories on the bike per minute.
February 2, 20188 yr Author Not many places to recover a bit in that one. You have to move a little to get 12 calories on the bike per minute. No doubt. I didn't make it round 5 and 6. Pedaled for 50 seconds then moved on.
February 3, 20188 yr Author Good times tonight. 27-21-15-9 Calorie Row Dumbbell Thrusters I thought regular thrusters sucked.
February 6, 20188 yr Author Yesterday did some snatch work followed by 7 mins of burpee box jump overs.
February 6, 20188 yr My workout yesterday (or today for that matter) was nothing special; however, I did up my one rep max on a squat clean to 225. That was a lot of weight for me and I was pleased.
February 6, 20188 yr Reading all of your posts about working out makes me so envious....... That being said, I'm down 15 lbs since Jan. 2nd just by diet.... 30 lbs to go.
