Hi again, workout finished...
**warm up: wall squats/halo/modified warrier (last joint mobility exercise from ES) 5 rounds
** 6 full cycles of swings 30X and one half cycle of 30 swings all with my 35#kb.
I didn't follow any recommended active rests except for the jog (which I did twice) instead I subbed: triple crush (25#kb), lat. side skaters, pretend jump rope, suitcase deadlift (with the 35#kb)
**I then eeked out....
pullups (all assisted) 1-2-3
pushups: 5-10-15
that's all I had in me today
The only thing that got me thru today was the fact I did not want to repeat the week....though I have a feeling with 40 swings next week I may be repeating that!!! Also, next week I may not be adding anything to the swing day!! Today was a really tough workout!
Vilma~ I love TGUs too! Enjoy your "vacation" with DH!!
Farmer~ LOL about Providence! It is hard!!! I love how at the end during the credits Anthony says : you thought you were in shape didn't you?....and I always answer: I thought I was.. Whats on the agenda today?
Andilynn~ are you starting ETK today or did you start yesterday? I am enjoying it, but it is much harder than it looks!!!
Gayle~ Great job with your workout yesterday! I saw that workout in Mt. Athlete also...I really like it.
waves to Jane and Marcy and anyone I may have forgotten....
Have a great day!

Hi all! Today will be cardio for me (steady state) although I can never decide what till I get down there and start. I did Providence yesterday and used my 25# for swings and my 20# for the snatch test and most everything else except I dropped down to a 15# for the windmills.
Deanie- I think I'll wait til Santa Monica gets here to start ETK because I know I would not be able to set it aside til I try it, also I found my P90x bar but I can't find the screws so I have to order them and I also am going to order a assist band since I know I certainly win't be able to do a pullup on my own for a while! I'm hoping that after ETK I will be able to!
I think I did well on my exam but the instructor has not posted the grades yet, I know for sure I missed one but I can live with that! I still will never understand what we need Algebra for, LOL!
Hi to Gayle, Pascal, Jane , Farmer, Vilma and all who come by later!

Good Morning!
I started off with pullups (unassisted). I did 2, 1&3/4, 1, 1&1/2 and 1 negative (12 counts down). I did the Empire State Joint Mobility for my warmup. I guess I wasn't reading my workbook carefully because I didn't see I was supposed to go up to 30 swings. I did 6 cycles of 20 swings with 25# and did lateral skaters, mountain climbers, jogs, alternating cleans (20#), 1-legged deadlifts (3 each side with 25#) and jogs. Then I did SM2. I guess I'll have to do week 2 over again
Deanie - You're so strong! 35#!! You go girl! When you do Providence again and Anthony asks if you thought you were in shape, you will definitely be able to answer "YES"! I wonder why in week 2, you do only 1 day of 30 swings rather than 2. In week 1, we do 2 days of 20 swings and in week 3, we do 2 days of 40 swings. Doesn't make sense. I guess that's why I missed it.
Vilma - Enjoy your time off with DH!
Andilynn - I don't blame you for wanting to try SM before you start ETK. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get a great mark on your math test! I don't know what we need algebra for either. My DH said the same thing when he was in school but he actually did need calculus for his job as a machinist for programming the machines. Sometimes you never know when knowledge comes in handy.
Gayle - Good luck with your deadlifts. I think I might use them for an active rest next time. I like straight leg deadlifts much better. Suitcase deadlifts don't do anything for me.
Waves to Farmer and all who follow!

Hi Andilyn, Marcy, Gayle, and Deanie and everyone else.
Deanie- It sounds like you cranked out alot.
Gayle- Have fun with your deadlifts.
Marcy- Don't worry about having to repeat week 2. You will be that much stronger next week.
Andilyn- We did the same workout yesterday and even used the same poundage.
This morning I did Low Max premix. I am going to try and squeeze in 30 more minutes of cardio this evening. I gained 5 pounds between Thanksgiving and the New Year. Now I want to lose 15 pounds.
Does 3 days cardio and 3 days KB sound good to you ladies?
