… 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… [...]

Private Party
Posted in Fasting, Health & Fitness, Physical Training, tagged intermittent fasting, kettlebells, Physical Training on November 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]

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 [...]
Heavy, Dude…

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 [...]
The Dead Has Risen

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, [...]
Bracing Workout

Well, the ankle is waaaay better, but still not 100%, so no sprints or fencing tonight. Instead–kettlebells, and wearing the neoprene ankle brace of mine that I finally found.
Good sweat-fest, CFT-style. To top it off, it was a fasting day, too.
After a little bit of warming up on the heavy bag, I went [...]
Just a Fluke

Listened to Fluke’s album “Risotto” during the latest kbell session. Simple stuff, but feels good on my still-sore-but-much-better ankle and post-head cold self. Monday night during the football game I felt that sore throat comin’ on, and woke up Tuesday with a terrible headache and sore throat. Tried to work, but didn’t [...]
Don’t Fence Me In

No fencing with the University today, as they are in Fall Break. Soon it’ll be Thanksgiving, then Christmas/New Years. Of course, it seems like they’re on some sort of break every couple of weeks…
Anyway, even with the not-yet-completely-healed ankle, I did a simple kettlebell workout. One of the nice things [...]
SEALing the Deal

Tuesday’s PT was straight from Scott Helvenston’s SEAL Training Camp Pocket Manual that he put out under his Amphibian Athletics company. I was feeling a pretty decent leg workout coming on, so I chose the Lower Body section of the “advanced” workouts. As follows:
2 sets
- 4 count standard squats, 15 repetitions, 1 min [...]
Re-enter the Kettlebell
Posted in Health & Fitness, Philosophy, Physical Training, tagged cft, fencing, kettlebells, Physical Training on October 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Just cooling down from a good kbell session, after not hitting them much for a couple of weeks or so. Mostly due to travel, and being involved in other trainings.
Since the seminar yesterday, and my plan to coach fencing today, I wanted a short, intense, but not-too-killer bout of kbell training to help both [...]
