Then we learned the 'press'. Same bar, but starting at your shoulders push up so the bar is directly above your head. You have to lean your head back out of the way then slide your head back between your arms once the bar is in the air. Opposite on the way down.
Last new movement...I can't remember the name. But you stand a bit in front of the rings, grab the rings and let your self hang. So your body is diagonal to the floor. Then pull yourself up 'til the rings touch your shoulders, down. Let's call these 'Ring Pulls' (I think that might be it anyway).
So the workout...'Dirty 30'. Dirty it was. Holy fuck. Barely made this one.
30 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (65lbs for me)
30 Presses (65lb for me)
30 Kettlebell tosses (stepped it up to 35lbs today)
30 Situps
30 Squats
30 Ring Pulls
OK so...Started off OK. I knew this one was going to destroy me. Not too much thought happening during these. Mostly just thinking about breathing, pacing myself, keeping decent form.
Started out OK. The presses killllled me. Right after those High Pulls my arms were getting really tired. Took some breaks. Same with the KB tosses...arms! shoulders! Those you can use your hips/core so it was a bit easier. Situps...piece of cake as usual. Squats...these weren't bad. Legs are just about recovered from last week. Though the High Pulls tired them out a bit. Ringpulls...not too bad...was realllly tired but I managed to get through them all without stopping. I was sort of generous with myself as far as where I positioned my feet (it makes it more challenging the further in front of the rings you stand).
My time: 10:57
I was the last one to finish. Right after that we went right into 10 sets of 3 pushups. Just for fun I guess. WTF?!?!
Goddamn these were hard. My arms gave out towards the end. I was really struggling. After the workout I was deaddd. Took me a good ten minutes before I stand. Good thing I have power steering...wouldn't have made it home otherwise. Took a long shower and a long ass nap. Still tired.
So if last week was legs, this week seems to be upper body.
I asked the instructor why I was so tired. She checked out my food log and said I'm eating how much she usually eats...on a light day! I'm seriously going to need to take a out a loan or some shit to pay for this diet. It's awesome. I love eating meat, steak, grassfed beed, roasting chickens, wild caught salmon!! it's really awesome actually. I feel like a KILLER!!! Kill me some animals to roast over a firepit! Fuck Yeah! But damn...it is NOT cheap. I guess if there's one thing to spend $ on it's being in good shape. I don't have a beer fund anymore..or really an eating out fund. Maybe I'll start billing people more to finance this little 'fitness' experiment. I *would* be nice if I didn't have to spend 2hrs a day shopping / cooking / cleaning. I think I'm just going to have live w/ that.
But anyway..the solution is...I have to eat more...specifically more fat. 150grams of protein a day and 100 grams of fat. Uh...Do you realize how much that is?! 150g of protein...that's like....4 cans of Salmon. Or (broken into meals) breakfast: 3eggs, chunk of steak, lunch: salad, nuts, can of salmon, dinner: half a small chicken. I *THINK* that gets me to 150. And for fat...well that part is sort of sweet. I get to use lots of olive oil, eat expensive mixed nuts, eat avocados all day long (except we're out of avocado season and the ones at new seasons suck real bad this time of year).
So no more of this "Oh I'm saving that for later" stuff. Time to go the store....
