OOOPS!

While attempting to delete a draft, I kind of screwed things up and deleted the last post. Oops!

Today and yesterday were rest days; however, the following workout was actually performed on Tuesday, December 30th.

1000 Reps BAM (By Any Means)
Perform at least 100 reps of the following by any means necessary:
  • 62# Kettlbell Floor Press
  • Flutter Kicks
  • Perfect Push-ups
  • Knee-ups
  • 53#Kettlebell Side Pull left
  • 53# Kettlebell Side Pull right
  • 53# Kettlebell Halos
  • 18" Step-ups
  • Leg-lifts
  • Crunches


This morning, when I woke up, I knew that today's PT was going to hurt. My entire back was feeling pretty sore due to yesterday's workout.

To get through this -- by any means necessary -- I started by pairing the Floor Press with Flutter Kicks for a 100-rep drill. Feeling surprisingly strong on the floor press, I started the time and cranked out 20 reps, followed immediately by 80 4-count Flutter Kicks. I continued the pattern of 20 Floor Presses, then 60 Flutter Kicks. Then another 20 Floor Presses, 40 Flutter Kicks. Then 15 Floor Presses, 25 Flutter Kicks, 15 and 10, then I finished of the final 10 Floor Presses. I finished that segment in 15:25, with a total of 100 Floor Presses and 215 Flutter Kicks.

Next, I continued to work my chest by pairing the Perfect Push-up handles with Knee-ups for. My chest musles were still burning, but I cranked out five sets of 15, a set of 13 and a set of 12 on the Perfect Push-up handles followed by 155 knee-ups. I was now at 36:30 and a little less than half-way through this workout.

I performed 100 Side-Pulls, (five sets of 20) on both my left and right sides, with the 53# kettlebell.

Halos are another amazing kettlebell exercise for developing fighting fitness. Using the 53# kettlebell, I knocked out five sets of 20 in a 100-rep drill, performing 18" Step-ups in place of rest, for a total of 200 steps. I was now at 1:15:03 and ready to quit.

I finished off today's PT with 100 Leg-Lifts followed by 10 sets of 10 Crunches.

Time: 1:28:53, 1,270 total reps and 250 vertical feet
