VolkeFit: Ocelot

I was chatting with Nolan before starting my workout.  He was casually throwing up snatches in groups of three.  I didn't calculate how much was on his bar, but I noted that it was far more than I've ever come close to snatching.

Nolan: "Well, I do weigh a lot more than you."
Me: "That's because you've got so many muscles and you're so big and swole.   We're barely the same species.  You're like... a Siberian Tiger and I'm a housecat."
Nolan: "You're not a housecat.   You're more like... an ocelot."

From Wikipedia:

"The ocelot (/ˈɒsəlɒt/; Leopardus pardalis), also known as the dwarf leopard..." 


DWARF LEOPARD.


A. 5 km ride

B2 10 push-ups and 10 KB swings

-Overhead squat 95 lb

I whipped the hell out of the back of my fingers while skipping after the set of 15's.  

I can still feel the phantom pains.

Took me 13:53

Regina Boxing Club: Puddle of Ugh

A. Teaming with a partner, there were 50 reps of various exercises.  One partner chips away at those if while the other runs two laps.

B. Bag work.  

C. Ab stuff in the ring.

For some reason, I was the only one who left a significant sweat puddle in as we were doing leg raises and planks and whatnot.   I'm apparently so gross that moisture can't stand to be inside me.
