Strength Day \• December 28, 2011
Wednesday afternoon at the MAC, I did a very low volume workout. No wonder I’ve been getting fat! I’m down to one conditioning session per week. But it was a solid training session. I tied my previous PR in the Deadlift, which felt like quite an accomplishment to me, just about exactly 24 weeks post-broken [...] Strength Day \• December 26, 2011
Monday after Christmas at the MAC. Warm Up 2 minute 1/2 Tabata on Airdyne. Good warm up! Need to Tabata more often. Mobility: hips, shoulders, quads, hams, ankles, calves Balance platform goblet squat: 5 x 45 lbs. Fun! Squat: 5 x 145 / 3 x 205 / 1 x 225 / 5 x 235. Not [...] Outdoor Recreation \• December 24, 2011
Christmas Eve Saturday outdoor ramble with John Chun. Down the riverfront from Overton to the Steel Bridge, with some mobility work after 5 minutes, plus jumping, scaling fences — at one point, some homeless people called out to me, while I was sitting perched on top of a chain link gate, waiting for John, who [...] Workouts \• December 21, 2011
Wednesday afternoon my dad took me with him to the MAC again. I love this old club for no good reason. CrossFitters only pretend they are “eleeet” athletes. At this club they live “eleeet,” though not in an athletic sense. I think they imagine themselves the elite of Portland’s social life. The only elite level [...] Workouts \• December 19, 2011
As a guest of my father at the Multnomah Athletic Club, Monday mid-day, I did the following, bare bones workout. I am jet-lagged AND burdened with some travelers’ woe (not to share TMI) so that, in part, explains the fact that I stripped the workout down so much. Warm Up Airdyne 5 minutes Squat 10 [...] Outdoor Recreation \• December 17, 2011
Saturday I got out for a 45 minute ramble through Montford, to play in the steeply sloped Montford Community Center playground, and to scramble and sprint up the hills from the bottom of the Asheville Cemetery. Heart pounding, sweat drenched, I sprinted hills, clambered over fences and walls, leaped benches, scrambled on trees, ran stairs; [...] Workouts \• December 16, 2011
Persistence is the key. You can say it’s hard work. But the harder thing is to persist. You can say it is talent. But just showing up is more important. Getting in reps. I keep showing up. For some reason I keep showing up, and doing work, and slowly but surely, I’ll attain my goals. [...] Workouts \• December 14, 2011
What was different about Wednesday, Dec. 14th, 2011? I laid off the auxiliary lifts and just focused on the basics: Deadlifts, Presses, and, yes, additional (very light) volume in squats. It felt good and it was good. Warm-Up: Jump Rope Mobility: Hips, Hams, Quads, Calves, Ankles, Shoulders. Training: Deadlift. Regular Bar 5 x 145 / [...] Strength Day \• December 12, 2011
Oh things were hard this morning again. Not sure what’s the deal with my lifting. It’s not going well right now. My arms, from the shoulders to the triceps to the elbows to the forearms, on both sides… they feel so screwed up. Simply put. They are sore and constantly complaining when I’m in the [...] |
