Oooo! It's even shot at Alcatraz!

 The Prison Pushup Series

Regular readers of this site know that it's no secret how much I love the Convict Conditioning series of books - so I really couldn't wait to get my hands on the two new (there will eventually be a total of SIX!) DVD and Manual sets ASAP!!!  My full reviews are on the Dragon Door site, so scroll down on that product page and see what I had to say about them (Spoiler alert: THEY RULE!)

Kinda insane workout... for January 1, 2011

It started out as some kind of "oo I want to do this and this and this and this and this" workout and turned into something that reminded me of the title of this classic comedy sketch from Kids in the Hall... "I Darn Near Puked". But I didn't... so its all good, right? I was inspired by the 10,000 Swing Challenge which Lisa Shaffer started today and decided to punctuate the workout with bouts of 50 swings... using the lighter 12Kg kettlebell - I figured I'd do some of these straight through, and others I'd break up into 2 sets of 25 etc. Then I also remembered I wanted to play around (a teeny tiny bit) with a 24Kg kettlebell in preparation for the Iron Maiden Challenge, and then I also wanted to get used to the neat TRX my partner in Bootcamp leading gave me for Christmas. Ooo and look at this awesome tree I am using for the TRX... what a great branch for pull ups! I think you can see where this is going, right? Yeah, DOWNHILL. Here's what happened (don't try this at home, or if you do, don't hold me responsible):

Joint Mobility Warmup

  • 50 Swings 12Kg kettlebell
  • pistols - 1 per side 24Kg Kettlebell(ugly but its still there), 4 per side 12Kg
  • 1 Pull up each side with assisted 1 arm negative (two fingers other hand)
  • 50 Swings, 12Kg Kettlebell (did 25/25)
  • Clean and Press 1 per side 24Kg (push-pressed then regular negative) then 10 Clean/Press per side 12Kg
  • 5 Pull Ups per side, No thumbs, One hand on top of the other (this was neat and I will do that again!)
  • 50 Swings 12Kg Kettlebell (30/20)
  • Two sets of 10 TRX Atomic Pushups
  • 50 Swings 12Kg Kettlebell
  • TRX one-arm mid-row 2 sets of 10
  • 5 Pull Ups per side, No thumbs, One hand on top of the other
  • 50 Swings 12Kg Kettlebell
  • Goblet Squats 24Kg Kettlebell (really focusing on "pulling myself down") 3 sets of 5
  • 50 Swings 12Kg Kettlebell (25/25)
  • TRX One Leg Plank 30 seconds each leg (darn near puked!)
  • 50 Swings 12Kg Kettlebell (25/25)

 

Yeah that was a little nutty.... but it was fun.... Program MINIMUM happening tomorrow, that's for sure....
