Thursday Happenings

This week has been a tour de force in weight training....one shovel full at a time.  Finally got my gravel in to re do my drive way.  It's 120ft long, and 15ft wide, and I've got 2 tons of gravel to make it look better than when I bought this little chateau in the country.  The problem....the guy who got me the rock on the cheap, had to send the mini bull dozer he's had for the last month back to his brother in law.  Now I'm moving it wheel barrel full after wheel barrel full.  The weather is perfect.  Cool climate, light breeze, and no rain to turn my 2 tons of gravel in to 3 tons of gravel.

Still hit it hard with CrazyLegs and Taylor Thursday night.  BeanTown is definitely down for the next month or two with the hernia.

Simple tabata to start.  4 stations equaling a total of 2 minutes (20seconds on and 10 seconds off) to go thru all 4 and complete a round.  5 rounds total.

Station 1 - 8lb sledge to the tractor tire
Station 2 - renegade rows plus push-up with 25lb dumbbells
Station 3 - 50lb bag of sand across the shoulders with a mix of lunges and squats
Station 4 - Jumping jacks

20 minutes of Calli and Muay Thai

And for fun, we ended with some festivus style feats of strength.  25lb dumbbell thrown for distance 1.) like a bowling ball, 2.) like a basketball style 2 handed chest pass, and 3.) straight up in the air for height off of a shoulder press move.  Good times...bragging rights probably went to me, but it would be up to the other two to dispute me given our less than scientific measurement.  I'll put it like this.  We're officially calling the game "Divots".  Plyometric Explosions would be more like it.
