Big_Sky_Guy & penny0527 are taking off with GAT JETMASS

[BubsNBean]

I wish I could run! I would even settle for moderate-speed shuffle

[Swuuu]

Hater. I am wondering if my high calorie days should actually be the day before my lifting day.

----------------------------------------------

I used my last scoop of Jetmass last night. Review to follow.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO puke it up so you have another scoop lol jk jk. Thanks for logging looking forward to the review!! .

[penny0527]

I was thinking about waiting until BSG gets done because hes so far behind me but I may go ahead and do the review then bump it at the end.

Is BSG slow cuz he doesnt run? . Its cool you can post your review either way. Please post a store review also. Thanks again. You did a great job logging as usual. Do you think you would ever buy some of this?

Actually yes. I like not being sore to the point of being crippled. My legs are on fire today....I had gotten used to not feeling like this. I also felt like a beast when lifting. I wonder if my decrease in gusto is a result of being off creatine. I have kinda felt blah while lifting lately.

I'm slow due to running and hiking and biking and yardworkin! Welll, that's my excuse anyway.

5/1/14- Up to Guards through the weekend.

Perfect weather. Sunny, mid-60's and a bit of a breeze. Had to take the opportunity to go outside = ran again.

Fast shuffled 1.25 miles and then cooled down at the mini-gym. Sit squats, hip work, stretched calves.

5 rounds of:
10 Kbell Swings (60#)
5 Toes to Bar

Worked on linking T2B. Took a cue from E and looked up at the bar. Made a world of difference.


Took the lx ball to my calves. Then worked ankles, just forward of the achilles on the inside. There is a bunch of connective tissue that is all pissed from the extra stretching for Oly lifts, and now running.

[penny0527]

I have never thought of using the lax ball on my calves. Not sure why

[BubsNBean]

Lol @ fasted shuffle!

Penny- use a wine bottle on your calves. Srs. Learned this in Mei's journal and it makes so much damn sense!

Well lord knows I can empty a wine bottle

[KissIcon]

well lord knows i can empty a wine bottle

lmao!

[Zenshi]

Well lord knows I can empty a wine bottle

The sacrifices people have to do for the sake of fitness. ;p

[Big_Sky_Guy]

Crushing my calves is definitely helping with my running. I was watching a Starett video series "Ready to Run". Covers the basics of what I need to do in order to not killing my legs with running.

JetMass is definitely helping with recovery.



Got all dressed up and went to a Chief's induction ceremony tonight. Couple good friends getting promoted to the highest enlisted rank. Good company, good food and good conversation. No pics that I know of!

Glad you had fun, BSG. Kelly Starett is seriously changing my life. Fukin Gumby.

[Big_Sky_Guy]

Yep! No pics dressed to the 9's.

Long weekend at Guards. Good stuff happening, but it is testing my abilities. I even had one guy stop me and ask me how I was doing? That's not good as I am decent at keeping the game face on. Only a couple more months to get some processes and more people trained and I should be able to focus more on the people than the moving pieces.



5/6/2104- Gym = Sanctuary

Warm- ext rotations, OHP w/ bar, wrist stretches


BB OHP- strict
95x10x2
135x5
165x1x10 sets

Doing some base building


DB Front Raises-
20x20, 15, 12


DB Rear Delt Raise- elbows straight (easy to cheat by bending them)
25x15x3


Band Pull Aparts-
3 sets 10

Rear delts on fiya at this point


Planks-


Lx ball on the feet and calves-have not used on feet in months = lots of pain face going on. Always amazes me how quickly the body gets all messed up.


Down to my last couple scoops of JetMass. It's been a good run!

[penny0527]

Are people not supposed to ask you how you are?

[Big_Sky_Guy]

Are people not supposed to ask you how you are?

Nope. I have no problem with someone asking me how I am doing. That's what the best of us do!

It just made me realize how much stress I am under if people are noticing.






Stop asking questions!!! Can't you see i'm busy here!

Yes. Very busy

[Big_Sky_Guy]

5/6/14- CFit

Warm- pushups, pullups (stupid wrist...still cannot do pullups), rolled the calves


Squats-
135x5x2 paused
225x5
295x20

The last 3 reps were a special sort of ugly. Core was not stable on the way up= rocked onto my toes. Seeing stars in the periphery = the closest I have been to passing out in a long time!


Skill- Handstands
Started with headstands and got better at moving feet up and down
Then kipped up to a handstand


WOD- skipped to begin stretching for the Oly session.
Ankles, hips, shoulders, wrists


Oly-
Low Hang Snatch Pulls
135x3x5


Snatch Balance
95x3x5

Well, I can get about 1/2 way down fairly quickly. Just need to keep grinding away at this flexibility so I can progress further.


R Knee was pissy from the 20 repper, so headed home to ice and eat.

[danielholding]

nice

[penny0527]

You need to do something about that wrist

[Big_Sky_Guy]

You need to do something about that wrist

Had the same issue over 10 years ago with the other wrist and they made me wrap the wrist in an air cast type deal for several weeks. Who's got time for that?

I've got a Spartan race to F up this wrist even more (monkey bars and 8 ft wall F U), then sod to remove, a fence to put in, a couple yards of wood chips to put down, gravel to spread, and a Graduation Party to put on in the next month.


Am I stubborn? I've often wondered.

Does a bear sh!t in the woods?


In for pics of Spartan Race.... is Gen doing it too?

Yes. A bear does and apparently I am. Who knew???

Gimme another month and I may go in and get a freaking soft hand cast and be "that guy" for a month...endless questions and endless entertaining answers. Well, Genevieve and I were arm wrestling and ...



She is doing the Elite Race in the early AM...around 8....and then doing the main race with our team around 10 = being my spartan buddy and cheerleader as I am in worse overall shape going in this year with wrist, knee, and ankle stuff going on. I forsee a lot more walking this year and more burpees if the wrist acts up. Pics will be had!

[Big_Sky_Guy]

I came through this Spartan Race in way better shape than last year. It was a Founder's Race so he set it up for the terrain to be more of the obstacle. The result was way more steep hiking and then steep descents, lots of mud, water crossings, etc. I am much better at hiking as we do that in the summer and fall for hunting.


I also am much less sore as I worked in some Emergen C before and during the race, some Pedia-lite and some Jetmass into my post race recovery drink. Last year I was hard-cramped 2/3 the way through the race and was having deep muscle cramps in the adductors and calves for a full day. This time the calves started getting b!tchy on the last hill and I never cramped after that.

Pics to follow...

Awesome. Seems like most people are noticing the recovery benefits the most . Gonna miss this log!!

I'm slow due to running and hiking and biking and yardworkin! Welll, that's my excuse anyway.

haha seem to be falling apart too . You did my fav 20 reps on one set though .

[Big_Sky_Guy]

Spartan Race Results:
Genevieve: 1:06 Took 75 overall, 11 for women, and 2 for age group women. Yep, I sleep next to a studette!
Me: 2:05:04 Took 3242 overall, 1905 for men, and 235 for age group men. Yep, I'm slow. Gen ran it with me!



5/12- Genevieve was recognized as a distinguished educator, so we went to the award banquet on Monday
5/13- Chores




5/14- Gym. Been forever.

Warm- external rotations, bar work


BB OHP- strict
85x5x3
135x5
165x3
185x2x5 sets


DB Bent Over Raise-
30x15, 12, 12


Cable Lateral Raise-
3 sets 15


Band Pull Aparts-

[BubsNBean]

Woot!

[Big_Sky_Guy]

5/15- CFit

Warm- high knees, butt kickers, box jumps, hip and ankle mobility

Skill- ME Squat (we only do this a couple times a year)
135x5 pause squats
175x5 pause
225x3

Called it there is the L side HF is still banged up from the race. I spotted a couple of the fellas. One 40 lb PR and another managed a 20 lb. I took a bar off a back as one guy went down. He came out of the hole and then rocked forward through his sticking spot and then bam, decided to jump out from under. My hands were on his chest at the time so I caught it in the elbow pits and then it scraped my thighs as I was getting out of the way. A little drama for the evening. Was only 330 so no real harm. We had a little visit afterwords that if you feel hands on your chest you do not dump.



WOD- Tabata
Mountain Climbers
Overhead Press (65#)
Air Squats

Some pretty serious shoulder pump and no endurance after hitting them yesterday!

15 ea with the climbers
Planned for 8-10 with OHP. Nope. Was at 5's by the 4th set. Was ugly. 65# ownage
15 ea with squats

I've been working on picking a number and trying to stick to it through the whole tabata. Or making a strategic plan to go 15's, 13's, 10's, just so I don't completely bonk and end with 5's. Certain movements, even with a strategy as described, I just seem to hit a wall at a certain number of reps: pushups, toes to bar, pullups, now OHP is added to list



Some studette action. Not exactly sure how she finished the Elite race with no mud on her! She didn't finish the race with me looking so spiffy!
