And now for something completely different...

.... but still totally functional.

Hey all, sorry for the lack of timeliness with the posts. I was very busy last week/over the weekend preping for and then attending a field training exercise for ROTC (btw if you ever want to really appreciate sleep, try averaging two-three hours per night for a few days).

The most recent group workout focused on exercises and progressions for training one-leg squats (pistols). Then Forney led a Tabata workout in the bag-room in Mem. This experimental workout involved both met-con movements and static-holds...

8 intervals per exercise before moving onto the next one; 4 exercises in the following rotation:

1) rowing

2) hand-stand hold

3) dumbbell thrusters (with light weight e.g. 20#, simulating wall-ball)

4) hanging tuck-hold (hanging from I-beam)

At Bill's urging, I embarked on my Kettlebell odyssey today. I'll be ramping up the intensity with the KB's, and hitting the CFE workouts and ruck marching hard over the next ~8 weeks. I'll try to write some posts about how that all goes.

Keep training hard and posting numbers, insights, and inspiration.

Ring Around the Bacon?

GROUP WORKOUT SUNDAY 4pm Mem Gym

Welcome back from Spring Break. From the looks of the previous comments section, folks have been continuing to train hard. It's great to see everyone posting tough workouts with solid numbers and new PR's.

Our very own Chadron Edwards recently participated in a gymnastics competition, throwing down a gnarly routine on the still rings. Check out this link for a sweet video.

Also, I was inspired by the Zone Chronicles on the CFJ to post a picture of one of my own [not so serious] nutrition-related experiences. So here's a look at a delicious snack I had tonight which I highly recommend. I call it "Bacon Wrapped in Ham." The name pretty much says it all. Zero blocks of carbs, infinite blocks of awesome!

Pigs are delicious

Keep checking the blog and email for updates on a group workout this weekend. If anyone wants to actually film and post a nutrition video that would be sweet (Forney? Zone + IF Chronicles?). Let me know...
