Workout of the Week

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

 

After a little more of an extended break than I’d prefer, we’re back!!

First off, a big congratulations to Inga Schlingmann who’s been training with me for the last while.  After 8 weeks of training harder than she probably ever though possible, Inga finished in the top 5 at the 2010 Miss New York Pageant. For anyone that still doubts this kind of training leads to not only increased  fitness & performance levels, but to even the most stringent of aesthetic goals…here you go.

Inga, congratulations. You did some amazing work in a very short amount of time.

Now it’s your turn. WORKOUT OF THE WEEK

Refer to the videos below for instruction. Record time to completion and loads. Above all else, be safe and operate according to your abilities. Listen to your body folks.

10 Rounds of 10 Reps of the Following:

I kind of feel like it’s a back to the basics kind of day. Enough with the new, big, fancy…whatever. This is all about just grabbing a barbell and moving some weight. Practice practice kids. You know what’s coming.

Time Out

No video today folks. Something more important today. Anyone that knows me very well at all knows that Nashville TN is very near and dear to my heart. Someone in my Facebook network posted this link the other day and it really needs to be seen.

Apologies for the late post everybody. We got a little carried away at The Garden on Friday watching the Knicks kind of lose interest during the 3rd period.


Anyway, dumbbell high pull. We’ve looked at this in brief a little before. Taking a closer look today.

Practice practice practice. Tuesday’s coming quick.
