Gym or Thursday Night Football??

Posted on Sep 06, 2007 - 8:21pm by MarkFu in Training Log

Tonight marked the start of the 2007 NFL season and being a longtime fan, I was "conflicted" whether I go to the gym or watch the game in high def on the big screen. Well, not really. I blew off the gym and watched the game, er, blowout. I DID manage to get a nice training session in.

I brought out my "toys" for my workout and here is how I played:
KB overhead squats, 8 kg, 1 x 10R/10L
KB overhead squats, 16 kg, 2 x 10R/10L
KB front squats, 16 kg, 1 x 15R/15L
KB goblet squats, 16 kg, 3 x 20
Ab wheel rollouts, 3 x 10
Ab Mat sit-ups, 3 x 30
Push-ups, 3 x 30

All this and never missed a down, however, Reggie Bush missed on a lot of downs as did most of the New Orleans Saints!

Football HangoverI know why I seldom drink. I never liked the hangover. I have a hangover of a different type today…a football hangover.

Snatch ThursdayJohn Curry came up with the idea of using each other as training partners in learning the snatch since we both have the goal of snatching a wheel (135 lbs). We met and got off to a good, if not modest start, Thursday evening. After warming up with 3 rounds...
Fast Fun on Friday NightSome of the best workout sessions are the ones that take the least amount of time to get through and tonight was a nice example of that. There wasn’t a lot of time tonight and I did not want to hit it too hard since I will be back in...
Dude!Football and beer commercials go hand in hand. The Bud Light Dude commercials are still funny, (even when the Packers were down 0-14 to Seattle early in the game). Before the game, I got a Crossfit-style " />#8220;chipper” in to rev up the cardio output. Ten exercises, 50 reps each....
Friday Night ShuffleBy the time Friday rolls around, my energy, intensity and motivation are often times lacking. It must have been that way for a lot of people because there were very few people in the gym and it was pretty quiet. I wanted a good workout and I wanted it over...
