The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Shoulders today. Started with 25 normal pushups and 25 wide pushups. then 15 wide pull ups for a warm up. Did some shoulder presses then a negative. Front and side raises then held out straight as long as possible. Then did front circles and side circles.

Also reached a new milestone on abs today. I was able to complete the Ab Ripper X with the same pace and reps as the guys on the video!!

Finished it off with a nice 20 minute jog. Then went to the cafeteria and had some well deserved meatloaf and mashed taters with gravy and a salad with blue poweraid.

 

just saw the conversation about muscle ups. i have done these on a pullup bar before. never knew what they were called. my max is 4 on the bar. We usually do them before a workout while waitin on my buddies to show up. Thanks for the info!

 

^^ Good luck.

 

So I just heard from my dad today...I had showed him that vid from earlier about the toughmudder competition and he got quite interested. So, today he tells me that he is competing in June at the tough mudder in Avon, CO. Starts around 8500 ft and goes up to 11,000 ft and back down. He will be part of a team of 6, one of the guys that was on the team got injured so my dad took his place. He pretty excited about it, I just wish I was gonna be able to be there and participate.

He is 58. Last he checked he was the oldest that signed up. I feel he is prepared, being as he has been doing crossfit for the past 6 years. I told him, don't be the oldest guy to sign up, be the oldest to finish! My dad is an inspiration to me. I'll keep you all updated and post up pics of him when they come back.

Wish him luck!

Got up at 11 today, went and over saw a PT test for half my shift. I ran the mile and a half with them but my test is tomorrow. 11:57...sucky I know but I didn't wanna cut myself short for tomorrow..well that plan went out the window real fast. Ended up doing my volume workout legs after wards. 7x10 squats at 185 with a 1 min rest between sets. 4 count down 2 count up. Rested 90 sec and did 3x10 leg press at 400 same rest and same count. I see a run in my future with sore ass freakin legs. lol
