I’m pretty much a soggy mess right now; trying to see through salt-streaked glasses while I type and chill down from today’s PT. It probably should be called, “How to sweat buckets in three easy rounds.”
A simple protocol again; three rounds of five minutes each, with kettlebells.
Firstly, you take two kettlebells, and do several [...]

Getting Along Swimmingly…

… thank you very much.
I was inspired to finally hit the pool again today. I’ve been wanting to for a while, but just didn’t muster up the gumption to get over there after a workout yet. ‘Til today.
I caught some shows this morning dealing with diving, looking for underwater treasure–Megalodon teeth and such… [...]

Today was a fasting day, and before adjourning to a friend’s Birthday/House Warming party, I held a private party of my own. Just me–and my kettlebells!
Simple protocol, timed using my GYMBOSS timer. Five minutes snatch with the 16 kilo bell (switching hands when necessary), one minute rest, five minutes long cycle clean and [...]

So, Friday’s German Longsword practice went well, with Chris spending most of his time bringing Hallie up to speed (she had missed a couple of practices) and Fritz and I worked on the first longsword play, until we took a water break and we worked for most of the rest of the night on falling/rolling.

Since I did a power PT on Sunday, today’s session would be all about sustained strength (aka “strength-endurance,” “prolonged strength,” or “strength-over-time”), featuring “fun with kettlebells.”
For the ramp-up to get my blood moving, I did a simple set of ten push ups on my Perfect Push Up (or are they “Ultimate Push Up”–I’ll have to [...]

I must have the worst case of dyscalculia… once again I was prepping for a Power To The People (PTTP) type lifting session and hosed up the weight amount when loading the bar.
But let me back up a little. Longsword on Friday was excellent, a good training session going over in some detail the [...]

Title inspired by both Hallowe’en and my latest PT.
But first–last Sunday was a brief, simple bodyweight workout that was basically a 10×3. 10 chin ups, 10 push ups, 10 abs. Rinse and repeat for a total of three cycles, with run-stepping “over the line” (sort of a run in place, [...]
