....a little bit of creativity in these!

It's Tuesday night, and so far, two new workouts this week.

Yesterday was one of those workouts where you leave feeling totally buff.  You know the ones - think, Kettlebell hell. Your arms are all pumped up and as a female, you think it's a good thing that you suddenly have some rock solid arms,but then, wait.......perhaps it's not such a good thing.  Are big bulging biceps truly a feminine trait??  Not sure, but after these types of workouts, one thing you know for sure, you'd rather have the rock solid arms, than the usual wings flappin' in the wind!  The ultimate goal - happy, little, tight, arms when relaxed, then when workin' 'em they turn into totally ripped jock arms!  Someday...

I speak now of Renegade Rows - 10 reps for 7 sets - for weight.  This was a bit like the sweet harlot that is Renegade Rose takes advice from Lucifer himself.    It doesn't sound so bad, and in reality, I would take this one over any running workout anyday, however, it wasn't exactly pleasant.  There is no breaking up that 10 rep set.

I ended up doing 20/20/25/30/30/30.  I felt pretty good about it, and left with some major Popeye arms!

Today - Barbell Hell - a happy little modification on Kettlebell Hell.  Which means - the evil Dr. Tabata strikes again!  Tabata intervals of Push Jerk, Cleans, Sumo Deadlift High Pulls, Floor Press and Deadlift for total reps. These can be done in any order. I did:

Push Jerk 65# -  56

SDLHP 65# - 58

Floor Press 65# - 55

Cleans  65# - 32

Deadlift 135# - 24

Did you notice my tapering off at the end?? Yep, by the time I got to DL's, I was toast, and my back muscles were starting to cramp a bit, like they do with Linda.  This was a toughie, and it was uber-hard the last 3 rounds of each Tabata cycle.  Strangely enough, I think the most difficult was actually the Floor Press - I started out the first couple rounds kickin' it - with 10 or 11...then tapered off. I think the last round or two I only got in 4 or so in the 20 seconds. Peculiar!

So - if Jonathan holds to his threats - and tomorrow really is Murph/Smurf,  then it will be confirmed that either he's must be drinking beer with the devil himself!  HA! It's 

ok!  Bring it on the ass-kickers!  Hawaii is calling in a mere 5 weeks!!
