Strength Friday



Another C.H. Rockstar! 



Today was a nice break for everyone, well, most everyone, at the studio.  While Chuck took his clients through a relatively easy strength day of 8RM, Miguel had these poor souls outside at 5:30 AM, running around like crazy people. This guy puts the a-zee in Crazee!

Zane-o, Bob, Stealth and Lean were all the victims today.  

3 rounds of:
400m Run
30 burpees
30 push ups
30 squats

Followed by three rounds of:
400m Run
20 burpees
20 push ups
20 squats

Followed by another stinking three rounds of:
400m Run
10 burpees
10 push ups
10 squats
....then some explosive upper plyometrics and core optimization work (or COW work.  Maybe I should think of another name for this. " Come on you ladies, get your butts in gear for COWS!")

Hey, where did Zane go?
Oh, there he is.  Wait, what the heck happened to Stealth?


I had all of my one on one clients perform two different circuits for strength:


#1 - "Ox"
8RM
3 rounds
Circuit Style
Bench Press
Deadlifts
Push Press

#2 - "Moose"
8 RM
4 rounds
Circuit style
Squats (lunges for those with shoulder orthopedic injuries)
Clean (hang power for some)
Press

This circuit takes just about an hour to complete, and everyone couldn't wait for the top of the hour to come.  

Yes, Steve, the lunges are going to suck.  No, Steve, they're never going to get easier.  




Pretty dog gone good for her 4th day this week.  Way to go Cindy! Putting up with us for 4 days is no easy feat.  

And finally, at the end of the day, after treating the family to dinner at Olive Garden with tiramisu AND a slice of raspberry cheesecake, we had to get a picture of the kids whooping Mr. Tooth Decay. A bright smile helps a happy soul shine!
