Hostyle Conditioning - imPRESSive workout... Fitting name.

Well I was in store for a real tough one tonight! I was super hot and tired throughout this one, I guess since the 2 weeks off have made me a wimp LOL!

I was still sore from my last workout on Monday, and my powerwalk yesterday.

Here is what I did

Barbell Push Press (95lb)

Burpees

Fire Hose Press (firehose filled with sand)

Squats (low, right to the ground or doesn't count!)

Sand Bag press (40lb)

Lunges

KBell press (16kg)

Jumping Jax

Round 1 - 5 reps of each and 25 Jax

Round 2 - 7 reps of each and 25 Jax

Round 3 - 10 reps of each and 25 Jax

Round 4 - 7 reps of each and 25 Jax

I was supposed to do a round 5 of 5 reps each, but alas... I hit the 30 minute mark and was finished!

My body was soaked.... I have never sweated like that before in my life!

All in all, a great workout.

Well time to go, bed early tonight, as I will be doing the 2.5km powerwalk tomorrow morning at 5am! I am going to start doing the walk all week starting once I come back from VEGAS! haha

Hostyle Conditioning Class - Back in the Saddle!

Well I was gone for a while! No I didn't fall off the wagon.... I actually got Strep throat! Put me out of action for 2 weeks! Was terrible! Glad to be back!

So for my return I did a Hostyle conditioning class! No sense in starting off easy...

Here is what I did

Turkish get-ups - Right hand - 14

T Bar swings - 30

Squat Thrusters - 14

T Bar swings - 30

Squat Thrusters - 14

T Bar Swings - 30

Turkish Get-ups - Left had - 14

I then shouldered an 80 lb sandbag and did a lap with it on each shoulder

Then is was 2 laps with bag on shoulder and kettlebell in other hand.... Finished

Was a great welcome back workout!

I am going to get up at 5am tomorrow morning to start doing power walks! Should be fun!

Been a while for an update...

I have started going to the trailer every weekend for the summer and have negliected to post in a while.

Just wanted to give an update as to what I have been doing.

I have been walking a lot lately. I average about 1.5 - 2.5km a day. Various paces, depending what kids are with me at the time.

I biked 5km at the trailer this past weekend. It was nice to get out on the bike!

Yesterday I decided to do some strength training after I did my walk, I did the back/shoulder routine.

3 sets of 20 1 arm bent over rows
3 sets of 50 shrugs
3 sets of 20 Romanian Deadlifts to the knees

I used my standard 25lb DB's at home.

Been feeling good about the walks..

Hostyle Conditioning - one on one, Hardest workout yet!

Well today I did my one on one workout in the Hostyle environment. I was looking forward to todays fun filled adventure, that was until I started it.... This by far was the hardest workout for me yet. Oh and before I forget, I retained a crap load of water this week, and the scales were not friendly...up 4!! LOL, ah well, I was due for a knock back down to earth... Will rebound next week!

Here is what I did today!

4 exercises:

Deadlift (135lb)

Pushups (with the blue/red/mini bands around me)

Squats (Berzerker with the 40lb sandbag)

Ball slams (25lb medicine ball)

How many of each you may ask?? LOL

21 reps, 18 reps, 15 reps, 12 reps, 9 reps, 6 reps, and finally 3 reps of each!

No breaks, just get it done.

I was done at 30:40 seconds

The band pushups KILLED me! I can't explain in words what my arms felt like... Extreme pain to say the least! Well I got it done, and was happy with my time!

Hostyle Conditioning Class - Some new stuff some old stuff, all terrible :)

This was a crazy class on this rainy Saturday morning.. The only good thing about it raining was that we would not be using the Prowler!

It turned out that I wish we had.....

Here is what we did.

Load an olympic bar with a suitable weight for multitasking! LOL

I loaded the bar with 30lb, for a total of 75lb.. I had the most weight! Probably not that good of an idea in hindsight...

Clean and Press

Squats

Bent over rows

Shrugs

Burpees

So how this works, you do the assigned reps with the Olympic bar for the first 4 movements, then put the bar down and do the same amount of Burpees. 1 minute rest after each round

8 reps

10 Reps

12 Reps

I was totally messed up after this.

Then it was on to more Olympic bar fun, with the same weight loaded on to it.

60 seconds of Clean, step up on high box, then press and step back down and lower.

1 minute rest

90 Seconds of Clean, up on box again, press and come down, drop bar and do a pushup...repeat

2 minute rest

Now the killer...

2 minutes of... clean, up on box, press, down, 2 pushups and 1 burpee, repeat....

Another small 2 minute rest, more being written on the board???? You kidding us Curd??!

10 burpees

15 pushups

60 Ball slams (25lb) medicine ball

...and then you can leave....

Well I finished it, and I was wrecked!!!

I will enjoy my Sunday off after this horror show!!!

Nice work Craig and Chris! We rocked it!

Bench Work - Back - Shoulders

At home for this condensed workout.

I focused on back and some shoulder. This is my last of 3 weeks working on this area.

I used my pair of 25lb weights... lower than normal, but still a good workout.

1 arm bent over rows

3 sets of 20 reps each side

3 sets of 50 shrugs

3 sets of 20 Romanian dead-lifts

Done...

Hostyle Conditioning - one on one, weigh in and ab killing!

Sorry for the lack of posts... been dealing with 3 people in my house all having strep throat! Not fun! thankfully I haven't got it as of yet....

First things first! I actually won the bet today! 319.6! Dropped another 2.6 this week... Glad with this progress, well now the march to 299 begins!

I did workout lately, the only this I missed was the hostyle conditioning class on Saturday... I was not feeling up to par, so I gave myself an extra day off. I did my Javorek dumbell workout on Monday, and some cardio on tuesday.

Todays workout went like this...

20 KBell swings

50 jumping jax

20 medicine ball crunch press (laying on back and pressing a medicine ball into the ceiling using only your abs)

10 Pushup plank knee touch thing... these were horrendous...(Pushup plank position, touch hand to opposite knee while staying in plank position) 5 a side!

I did 4 rounds of this

I then did 10 step ups with the BIG firehose on my back, this beast weighs close to 100lbs!!

I finished with 50 ball slams with the 25lb medicine ball...

I was wiped!

......So happy about the weigh loss this week! CASINO here we come!
