How Cool Is This!?

I had a great day. The more I learn in this course the more I realize Tony is spot on. I learned more about nutrient timing, not just the what to do but the why, now I see why Tony has me do the things he does and the importance of it.

They also took us to a fight gym! The video I posted below, thats the type of training they do there! We walk in and there are not weights and machines everywhere, although they did have a squat rack and a bench, but instead there were huge tires, and boxes of varying heights, kettlebells, medicine balls, rings, bars to swing from, matts against the wall and huge thick ones on the floor. We did a bunch of plyometric stuff and let me tell you …LOL… this shit isn’t easy!

I discovered I am terrified of jumping up onto a low platform! WTF? Now I am determined to be able to do this. So for now, he had me jumping over tires, laying on our backs and throwing medicine balls up fast as we can to our partner who is standing over us who then drops it and we have to catch and throw it up again fast, I missed once lol and got the wind knocked out of me.

We did push-ups were you clap between each one, hit tires with sledgehammers did get ups with medicine balls, and ladder work. It was awesome and man what a great way to kill yourself workout LOL.

I plan to do some of this each week on my own. My view of fitness is expanding, its not just about lifting weights, and strength, but speed, agility, coordination, and rythym. My goal isn’t just to look fit, but to actually be fit enough to do this stuff.

Plus this is great stuff to do at home and still get a great workout in, thats why my home workouts have been kicking ass so much more then my regular gym workouts, Tony has added a bunch of plyometric stuff and I am not used to it! My chest strength has improved , I can now do 12 proper push-ups, lol not a lot, but for those of you who have been reading a while, you may remember The Push-Up Challenge I did, and I never really got any better. I could do like 3 then. and they weren’t very good. The bodybuilders Tony has me do like 3 sets of 20, so yeah ab strength and chest strength have improved.

More and more I am wanting to start gathering stuff for home so I can have a kick ass workouts at home, or go to the gym, I still love the gym of course but its great to have different options. Training should never be boring! I can’t wait for tomorrow!

Saturday Update

I am liking WordPress~! Boy did this week go fast or what? I feel like I have been lost in a timewarp or something.
I am doing my workouts at home for the time being and they have been kicking my ass! Lots of plyometric stuff, running the trails, some bodyweight stuff and weights. I have been eating a lot more too, stuff that Tony added in. What a difference it makes!

Remember too how I said I was taking the magnesium hoping that would make a difference? BIG difference!

Its like, this is Tea on magnesium and B vitamins:
* la la la lala, I’m so happy! Dan I love you!*

Tea not on magnesium and B vitamins:
* waaaaaa! f%^$#$#$$$! Dan your an ass! I can’t believe F%$#$%$!!!!!*

ahem.

So…. yeah!

Oh and 2 new problems, I am breaking out with big ZITS on my NECK?! and forehead! Two places I NEVER break out! WTF?
The oter thing is I wake up every morning with damp clothes from sweating.
Now I was talking to Shariffe (spell?) the guy from the Biggest Loser and he said that they would sweat like that at night, because their metabolism was so ramped up, so either my metabolism is operating at peak efficiency or I am going through menopause I’ll pretend for now its because I am a fat burning furnace.

Dan wants to build me a squat cage and a plate tree with some extra steel he got from a job, that would be great!

One day I want to have a gym like this someday, just look at all the stuff he has in the background and look at the stuff he does!

I have class today and tomorrow which I am excited about. I will report more on that tonight. I really hate this cold ay. Its like you don’t even want to take your clothes off to shower, add to that no heater, although we saw a little space heater we are going to go get.
anyway I have to get ready and get out of here!
