The Big "Five-Oh". (50)

Made up a workout today similar to one CrossFit does, but more so in response to Adam "Lib." Cooke's comments regarding Snell and mine's age, and how it relates to his. So we wanted to show Cooke that us "old guys" can still get 'er done.
The workout consisted of 50 reps of the following exercises for time. Players and results are at the bottom. 50 reps of:

Box Jumps
Burpees
Push Press (65 lbs)
Kettle Bell (12 kg)
Squats
Row (50 calories)
Knees to Elbows
Wall Ball (10 lbs)

Reults
-------
Snell - 22:38
Harryman - 24:50
Seabass - 25:00
"Girl Scout" Cookie - 29:30 (stopped at 15 burpees)
Whitey - 18:56

The whole time during the workout Cooke was flapping his pie hole about, "These results dont mean anything, cuz we're gonna get the White House. Barak is the man". A true lib., trying to deflect attention away from the real topic.
I say - Stop the ObamaNation.

Man Overboard, A Shift Style!!

We saw the workout the C shift left on the white board and decided to give it a whirl. As it worked out because we had 4 players and the C shift had 6, we each had to do two 800 meter rows. The other stations were: Jumping Pull Ups/Air Squats/Jump Rope/Sit-Ups/Box Dips. Scores are posted below.

John "The Body" Snell - 815
Sebastian "Black Socks" Barbosa - 833
Brian "Mr. Perfect" Harryman - 701
Kevin "Lucifer" White - 1033

We finished and peered at the C shifts scores and collectively said W.T.F is up with the C shift. Some 400's for totals...........................WEAK. A shift rules again, enough said, out.

5000 Meter Row - Interval Style

Decided to do the 5000 meter row a little different today. Found a custom workout in the Concept II that breaks it up into 4 intervals, with a 3 minute rest between cycles. The distances are 2000/1500/1000/500. Snell, Harryman, Cooke, Barbosa, and White were the participants. Results are below:

Player 2000 M/1500 M/1000 M/500 M/Total 5000 M
---------------------------------------------------------------
Snell 8:57.1/ 6:41.4/ 4:26.7/ 1:59.7/ 22:04.9
Harryman 8:02.7/ 5:59.2/ 4:13.8/ 1:48.6/ 20:04.6
Cooke 7:38.0/ 5:42.0/ 3:51.5/ 1:44.6/ 18:56.1
Barbosa 8:38.8/ 6:26.5/ 4:18.4/ 2:02.0/ 21:36.7
White 7:09.5/ 5:21.9/ 3:33.9/ 1:43.3/ 17:48.7

Good workout, I suggest giving it a try. The 3 minute rest is very beneficial. Allows for some needed recovery. But that goes away as you get into the next cycle.

"Angie"

For time:

100 Pull ups
100 Push ups
100 Sit ups
100 Squats

Bob-20:00 (Jumping pull ups, push ups from knees)
Morgan-19:00 (Jumping pull ups, 1/2 of the push ups from knees)

Vandy-18:00 Rx'd

There is lots of ways to scale this workout as you can see by the way everyone did it differently. Either way it is still hard anyway you cut it.

Morgan-556 (box step ups)
Bob-479
Vandy-668
Gabriner-no score (box step ups)
Bobby law-no score (box step ups)

Everyone did a great job after all the yelling, kicking, and scratching.

Pull up ladder

With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two pull-ups the second minute, three pull-ups the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.
Use as many sets each minute as needed.
Myself, Patrick, & Alfonso did this workout @ Station five and again it is a B*T#H of a workout. We all compleated 14 rounds just befor the "bell" so round 15 was a scramble to see how many total we could get before time ran out.
Patrick 14 rounds + 6 or 8 (I can't recall)
Alfonso 14 rounds + 10
Vandy 14 rounds + 10

FYI: 14 rounds + 10 is a total of 115 pull ups, in 15 minutes! All pull ups were done to full ROM, arms fully extended to chin over the bar. Well done.

The Dumbells work out with the dumbells.

We decided to try something a little different today and worked out with dumbells only. Concentrating on shoulders and biceps. Juan Sebastian Carlos Mendoza Martinez Pedro Barbosa came to join us today. Here was the workout:

CHEST
--------
Push-ups: 25/24/23/22/21/20

SHOULDERS (choose your own weight)
----------------------------------------
Alternating Overhead Press: 15-20 reps X 3 sets
Seated Fly's: 15-20 reps X 3 sets
Swimmers Press: 15-20 reps X 3 sets
V ups: 15-20 reps X 3 sets (used kettle bells for this one)

BICEPS (choose your own weight)
-----------------------------------
One arm concentration curls: 15-20 reps X 3 sets
Seated curls: 15-20 reps X 3 sets
Alternating Fixed Arm Curls: 4x4x4x4 2 sets
21's: 3 sets. (7 hanging to halfway up/7 from top down to halfway/7 full curls)

We finished off with a 2000 meter row. I wasn't to hard on these guys today was I? Well, here it is two days later and we're all pretty sore.

Individual Row Workout

On my own today, so I tooled around in the workout section of the rower and found this little doozy:

Row for 1:40 seconds/:20 second rest between intervals X 9. Count the meters rowed per interval. My results below:

1) 481
2) 461
3) 466
4) 468
5) 478
6) 476
7) 472
8) 471
9) 489

That 20 second rest aint much as you get deeper into the intervals. Good way to build speed.

Helen and Frans sick love child

Coach Glassman combined to tough workout into a brutal workout. Here is how it went.
3 rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
1.5 pood Kettlebell swing, 21 reps
95 pound Thruster, 21 reps
21 Pull-up

I tried to get Bob to join me but he would not have any off it. I scaled the weight of the thrusters back to 65 pounds because I want to finish before roll call. Everything else was Rx'd.

Vandy-25:23
Thrusters and running is a rough combo.

Ready, Set, ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We sat our asses in the rower seats, dug our heels in and tested ourselves today. Third day of the tour, there was talk of taking the day off, and then I said to myself - Did America quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? NO!!! Did Clinton stop commiting adultery after getting caught? NO!!! Does Harryman look forward to F.P'ing the Steamworks? YES!!! Did the Raiders quit when they continued to lose games year in and year out? YES!!! Does Guzman still own those salmon colored nutters? DUNNO!!!
What am I trying to say..........I have no freaking clue anymore. But what I do know is that we worked hard today. The workout was - Row 500 meters x6, with 1 minute rest between intervals for time. Here are the players and results.

Kandi - 2:08.3/2:03.6/2:06.2/2:06.6/2:03.6/2:02
Snelly - 2:08.7/2:03.4/2:06/2:05.1/2:08.7/2:04.8
Haryyman - 1:59.5/1:57/1:50/1:47/1:56.6/1:52
Lucero - 1:52.1/1:56.1/1:59.1/2:04/2:05.8/1:58.6
Whitey - 1:44.5/1:43.3/1:40.8/1:40.2/1:39.9/1:38.0

We've done this workout before and the reults were very good. Kandi, Snell and Whitey had inprovements in 5 of the 6 interval times. Harryman was coming off the hot apple trots the past week, but did improve in 3 of the six times. And Lucero we're trying to figure out what happened, he regressed in 4 or 5 of the 6 intervals. He confided to me in private that his pending vasectomy was at the forefront of his mind and that affected his performance. So I told him his secret was safe with me and not to worry about it, and we'd get 'em next time.

3 Kings + 2 Queens = Full House

Look who showed up today.

Guest appearance by Adam "Lurch" Cooke. Claims he rowed crew in college, and that he probably doesn't need to do that part of the workout. Answer = NO!! The gangly one hung in there, and finished strong. Workout and times below.

5 rounds with a final 6th round of a 750m row only.

Row - 400m/400m/500m/400m/400m

Finished with 750 row.

Times:
Snelly: 28:19
Cooke: 29:45
Whitey: 23:18

"I'm off probation dude, it's ok I said that right."

Famous words from the pie hole of Tim MacIssac. His new credo is , "Hey dude, Im off probation now." So after he inquired as to Whitey's age (which doesn't need to be printed here), and gave that 'wow, you're kinda old' look, followed with a "well then I should finish waaaaayyyyyy ahead of you" comment...........well, it stirred the fire within to try and crush Little Timmy. Work out below with times for those who FINISHED.

Round 1
---------
Row - 500m
Push Press - 18 (75 lbs) weight same throughout
SDLHP - 18 (65 lbs) weight same throughout
Jump Rope - 100 passes
Burpees - 10

Round 2
---------
Row -500m
Push Press - 15
SDLHP - 15
Jump Rope - 100 passes
Burpees - 10

Round 3
---------
Row - 500m
Push Press - 12
SDLHP - 12
Jump Rope - 100 passes
Burpees - 10

Round 4
---------
Row - 500m
Push Press - 12
SDLHP - 12
Jump Rope - 100 passes
Burpees - 10

Round 5
---------
Row - 1000m

Finishers:
Snell: 33:03
Whitey: 21:52

Funny that the mouth's name isnt on the finishers list. Is it because he almost puked during round 2? He claims its because he got a call. Morale of the story = age doesnt matter Timmy, it's a state of mind dude. When you're ready to 'bring' your A game, we'll try again.

Pat: 225-275-305-325-355
Vandy: 185-205-225-235-245*
