Wake Up. Kick Ass. Repeat.

but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.”

Morning fun

500 swim

Early afternoon

Workout
4 sets of 5 reps (R :25 between sets)

• Front Squats @95
• Chin ups
• Bench Press @ 85#
• Med ball sit ups (12#) on slant board 4sets of 10

Punching on heavy bag 4 sets @ 2 minutes each - man are these hard after the second round, that flurry of 8 hits makes my arms just want to fall off. Yep, pretty much ;). Followed eat set with 10 kicks each side - right side definitely more coordinated, keep working

Thank goodness for my boxing gloves, broke those suckers out today, quick refresher on wrapping technique and good to go! The loss of skin on my borrowed version was not worth it. Some great herbal salve and a little tlc yesterday and they'll be good as new in a few more days. Kind of a reverse hand care issue with swingers and kippers ... I wasn't willing to give up today's session though ;).

Jump rope - 2 minutes on 1 off X2RNDs

3 RNDs

• 20 each side - Boxers Twist (slosh pipe style) w/45# bar
• 20 - Dips
• 20 - Myotatic Crunch (kinda like GHD movement)

Dragonfly

And so, the dragonfly is the fulcrum between mundane and mystical.  She is the balance keeper between the “little me” and the “God self.” 

Warm up
Indian Clubs - 3 RNDs mobility, 4 movements
Drangonfly transitions - tough but cool!

Burgener warm up
Jeff - Day 5

Strength work
In order, 5 sets of 8 reps,  :20R between sets

• Bulgarian split squat (65#) - whoa, been a while, balance on these
• Bent row (95#) - good
• Push press (75#) - love to hate my goat
• Fat bar curls (40#) - always a joy with homemade version
• Reverse sit up on slant bench (12# MedBall) - best!

Slow burn on these baby's. Felt pretty good. Focus on balance, position and movement.
