Trying to Catch Up

Hey Everyone this is Clark. I hope you're all doing great. I'm sorry we've been gone so long. I think Michelle mentioned it earlier, but life has been insanely busy, which cut in on our computer time. THEN, we had a nice little computer crash to ring in the new year. Well, life is no less busy, but the computer is fixed, so we're jumping back into things here. I'm going to do my part by trying to cach you up on some of the things we've been doing. I'll start with yesterday's troubles.
I decided to play with Art of Strength: Newport by Anthony Diluglio. Now, as with so many of our electronics these days, we're having glitches with our portable dvd. So, I didn't follow the dvd. I wrote down the content, times and all that good stuff concerning Newport's rounds. I was struck with some form of insanity and decided to modify it....Here is what it looked like:

A: 30 sec Cossack squats+ 30 sec double burpee snatch combo, 3 rounds. This was done at 2x 36# kettlebells for both exercises. 1 minute rest

B: 30 sec double kettlebell thrusters+ 30 sec double swings, 4 rounds @ 2x36#.

C: 30 sec 2 hand swings @ 53# + 30 sec Hot potato @25# kettlebell. 4 rounds.

D: 30 sec Punch Matrix+ 30 sec plank, 4 rounds.

E: 30 sec side snatch+ 30 sec overhead lunge @ 44# kettlebell. 4 rounds.

F: 30 sec double front squat with alternating kicks @ 2x44# kettlebells + 30 sec Sots Press. 2 rounds

G: 30 sec alternating cleans + 30 Dragon Lunges @ 53#. 2 rounds.

H: 3 minute snatch, get up, windmill @53#

I: 5 minute snatch test, alternating between 53# and 44 #.

A little later, I did: 20x overhead squats @ 45#+ 20 ghd situps+ 30xfront squats @75#+ 30 KTE+ 40x back squats at 135#+40x situps+ 50xHindu squats+50x full body crunches.


Going back to New Year's Eve, I did what Gym Jones refers to as SMMF. I'm not getting into what that stands for. I did 150 wall balls @ 25# and followed it up with a half mile tire drag @ 135# tire. A lady drove by while I was doing the drag and yelled "That's how I used to train m y horses!" She drove by a few days ago while I was running and yelled "You need the tire!" It was funny.

Well, I've taken enough space for now. I'll catch you up on more later. If you're interested, I'm going to see if I can put it together for Coach Maxwell to come where we are and present either his bodyweight or kettlebell certifications. Let me know if you're interested.
