New! Live Workout Log for 2015

fp_el_1

This is a forging post — a 4″ floor-to-ceiling wooden pole that you hammer on with hands and feet to harden them for fighting. The bottom two feet are wrapped in rope. The rest is plain.

For the last few years I’ve been sitting down in December to schedule workout ideas for the coming year.  What I did was cut ‘n’ paste my workout log into a .csv file and pre-schedule my posts to social media.  But this year I’m going live.

Each morning that I work out I’m going to blog, tweet, and post what I’ve done.  That way you can follow along, point and laugh, be inspired, or react in whatever manner floats your boat.

So without further preamble, here’s today’s workout:

DUMBBELLS (4 sets of 13: Military Press, Goblet Squats, Lat. Raises, Rip Cords); MEDITATION (10 mins); FORGING POST; GRIP STRENGTH

2014 Workouts Scheduled!

For those of you who followed my twice weekly Cabal Fang WODs (“workouts of the day”) last year, I have now pre-scheduled a new batch for 2014.  I apologize for the month-and-a-half lag getting them going again.

I tweet these things too.  So, if you’d prefer to get them that way, just follow me (@12thkey).  Here’s what they look like:

They aren’t technically WODs because (1) they’re not daily, they’re just twice weekly — duh! and (2) WODs are a CrossFit thing, and I’m not a CrossFitter.  These workouts are meant to supplement martial arts training (especially Cabal Fang martial arts training).  I just called them “WODs” because, well, it seemed to make sense at the time.  Got a better name for them?  Make a suggestion.

 

Workout Routine: Self Destruct Sequence

Here’s a little slice of hell that I’ve started trying to get through that I call “Self Destruct Sequence.”  So far I’ve only made it through at half of the listed reps (to be fair though, I’ve been doing it with a weighted vest, so there’s that).

This workout appears in my Top 10 calisthenics ebook — click here to download!

By “get through it” I mean completing all of the exercises without taking any rests longer than ten seconds.  I’m sure that if I took plenty of breaks and stretched it out to an hour I could go and do it right now — but my goal is to get through this thing in less than 40 minutes.

Give it a shot.  Let me know how it goes…

  1. Zombie Squats (50)
  2. Pushups, diamond (25)
  3. Jump Squats (100)
  4. Bodybuilders (25)
  5. Pikes (25)
  6. Jump Squats, split (50)
  7. Pushups, barrel roll (25)
  8. Bicycles (50 each side)
  9. Burpees (25)
  10. Twisters (25 each side)
  11. Wall Touches (100)
  12. Pushups, hopping/clapping (25)

Mini Mud Run

Nothing like the concoction that is sweat, rain and mud! Try this:

Full pyramid to 9 of Squats (x2), Pushups, Sprints (10 meters out/back). That’s 162 Squats, 81 pushups, 81 Sprints. Get it done in under 20 Minutes (my time 18:58)

WOD Project – 1st Post and Abbreviation Key

I reached into my workout logs, pulled out some of my faves, converted them to a .csv file, and imported them into scheduled posts – just in case there are followers who want to shake up their workout routine a couple of times a week.

WODs will be showing up at noon on Wednesdays and Sundays through the end of the year.

I will be using the following abbreviations:

AFAYC = “As fast as you can”  AHAYC = “As hard as you can”  AMAYC = “As many as you can”  AMRAYC = “As many rounds as you can.”

Here’s the first WOD:

Dirty Dogs 25/side,Steam Engines 100,Pushups 50,Mtn Climbers 100,Jump Squats 100,Bear Sprint 100m,P/ups knuckle 40 @cabal_fang #WOD
