VolkeFit: Pros and cons of becoming a cyborg

A) Push -ups
Four rounds of 12.

Done.


B) Glute bridge hold (4 seconds) + 5 sit-ups

Done.  Sexily.


Looking back, I now realize I was supposed to alternate these two things.  A1 and A2 style.



C) EMOM 12 min
Even: 5 strict pull-ups
Odd: 20 alternating foam roller dead bugs

The strict pull-ups were quite hard on my left arm which still seems to be suffering from some sort of nerve issue.  I should get it checked out.  Or maybe just get one of those sweet prosthetics from LexCorp


D) Go Time!
27-21-18-12 of: 
Calories rowed
Dumbbell thrusters 2x40

14:30.  Thrusters suck the life out of me and make me question my very existence.

Basement with the Boy: Slamin' and swingin'

The Boy likes EMOMs, so when I can convince him to put down the iPad and join me, that's what we do.  (Reps and weight reflect my work.  His was less)

A. 14 minute EMOM
Alternating:
15 Ball slams (20lb)
15 Russian bell swings (63lb/28kg)


B. Partner Burpee Pet Rock
Partners alternate sets of five burpees, until we get to 50.  Resting partner holds a kettlebell.

Took us 3:38

VolkeFit: The thing I did before eating a bunch of Taco Time

A.  14 minute EMOM: 
First minute - 6 DB snatches per arm
Second minute - 12 calorie row

The snatches took just over 20 seconds each minute.  The rows took between 30 and 40.


B. 50 renegade rows (30lb)

I did them in sets of 30 and 20.


C. TRX pike push-ups

Steve got a new toy.

4 sets of 7.

Done.


Afterward, I met my family in the food court of Southland Mall, and demolished a taco salad and Mexi-Fries because I am an insatiable glutton-monster whose appetite is only matched by my ability to sabotage any progress I make in life.
