DUE(MS) DAY 12.9.10

probably one of the most balanced and effective workouts i've done in some time. 5 minutes seemed to work for the 85% 1rm portion (250lbs) and the speed combination was highly effective with a load / rep scheme that promoted reduced transition times and high speeds.

MET CONNED 12.1.10

in the end i know one thing, this combination and set up was highly successful in creating fear and panic of the next attempt. the desired symptoms of your typical metcon were all achieved; burning lungs, acid filled veins, and musculature ready to fail at any moment.

UNDER GROUND 11.25.10

playing catch up until the final round i reached the muscle ups at the same time as my counterpart, completing the first one before he started. what i didn't count on was an unbroken set of 4 on his part leaving me down by 2 as i watched him strap in for the final row.

EXPERIMENTATION DAY 11.20.10

how much can we use what's just lying around that i normally don't? or how can it be used in a different way? this thought led to a multitude of ideas while these efforts were in the planning stages. inspired and motivated, the lab worked overtime to put together the concoctions you see here today

JOURNEY(MEN) 10.30.10

when implemented at the appropriate time, these types of experimental efforts are important in that they break up the monotony of working out of the normal space under "normal" circumstances and parameters. throw it all out the window from time to time. get outside. break the cycle and do something different. it won't always be deemed 100% successful but that's not always what matters
