More Great Results - New Bad Ass Workout!

Time for some Praise for Lianna,

I have been training Lianna for some months now and she always gives it her all.

Last week she told me in no uncertain terms that she was going to drop at least 2 lbs for the following weeks weigh in.

I love it when people set real tangible and attainable goals!!

Not only did she do the old Babe Ruth on me by pointing out over the park with her promise to me. She crushed it by dropping almost 3 pounds!!

Damn fine job Lianna, I'm Proud of you.


Bad Ass Workout

I got this workout from Nathan Donahue's blog at Kettelbellplanet

it's called the Javorek Complex #5

Nathan's actually working in India at the present moment and has beed presented with some unique challegesas to how to get some great workouts in, when you traveling abroad.

Especially in area's where a 6 ft man is a giant and dumbells in gyms rarely go over 25 lbs.

Read his blog and see what he is coming up with to get some effective workouts in. It's an example of how there is never an excuse not to do a workout...all you need is determination and some imagination.

Here is ther Version I did last night

Using 135 on the 7 ft olympic bar.

Uprightrows X6
Hanging Snatch X6
Squat Thrusters X6
Good Mornings X6
Bent over Rows X6

do all sets continously without any stops until the cycles is complete.

I did 3 cycles..I was sucking air right after the squat trusters on the first cycle.

It took me 18 minutes to complete all 3 sets..ther was alot of crying in between the cycles. At one point I think I saw into future....

It was one BAD ASS workout!

Thanks for the great Idea Nathan!!

Here's a Video of a similar routine using Dumbells



If you get a chance head over to my buddy Paul's Blog he and his wife Sarah own a gym in Renfrew and Arnprior.

I was over talking to Paul earlier this week and I came across to young fella's who were benching. I used a new technique to challenge them you can read about in Paul's blog Serious about Strength. I think its the latest entry as of today.

Now go Kick Your Own Ass in the gym!!
