Therapy and Front Squats
had the day off work, too the opportunity to do some canvasing for the rugby club. My targets the local gym scene, ya know where people go to "work out" and no to "train". I ran the gambit from the truest bodybuilding gym (still left) in town, Total Nutrition, a place I trained for over a year and whose staff still recognizes me though it has been quite some time since i stepped foot in there. Then the big chain "Golds" was visited, wow its awe inspiring how much expensive equipment and tv screens are in that place, its a wonder how anyone even resembles fit in an environment that strives for comfort. Then the new kid on the scene was visited, Planet Fitness, whose low introductory rates and brilliant marketing of a lack of intensity atmosphere make it the ideal gym for people who are scared to know what their bodies are truly capable of. Anyway, the moral of the story is....I feel incredibly lucky to be training where I am, in an atmosphere that breeds intensity and work ethic.

Rings dips
Time 6:43
Front squats were on point, not one drop. Ring dips were another story, started off strong at least. More time needs to be spent on those rings, and with my back is recovery mode I have the available time on my schedule.
Diet: The usual paleo fare of eggs,chicken, venison and vegs, up until post-wod, skipped the shake and went to Grandmas for dinner: salad, chili, sugarfree jello pie?. Not exactly paleo but I didn't want to break my grandma's heart, next time ill bring my own grub. Fried of some perch that my dad caught on a fishing trip using coconut flour, good stuff.

So did the people at total ask you where you got your lean mean bod? Is it awful that I want to go into golds and start ripping out dead hang pull ups on the cable machine bars?
ReplyDeleteHaha, i dont think they noticed. But making a scene like that in golds sounds like a helluva a good time.
