What I'm chewing at this very moment is tomato sauce made according to the recipe in 'Revolution 909' clip, only with a crapload of meat in it. Log title is approved.

 

[mmuhr2]

hopefully this log lives up to the standard set forth by the daft punk vids. keep us updated

 

[Mr. Beige]

haha! never expected to get such a response based solely on the log title. in the mean time, I thought I'd join in the fun...

okay, I lied. it starts today.

120m hill sprint
20 push ups
20 bw squats
front plank or side plank or back extensions

should've done it for time so I'd have a benchmark... but I didn't think ahead. hindsight is 20/20.

[vince89]

Good work Im liking this log so far.

White belt seal of approval.

 

[Mr. Beige]

open mat was a good time, as expected. the only thing I don't like about open mat is I'm always the biggest guy there. I try hard to not use my strength advantage, and I focus on technique. still, I sometimes "cheat" if I get in a really bad spot.

I'm really feeling the deadlifts today. my back and ass are pretty sore. not injury-sore. the good kind.

no-gi class tonight. I think I'll go early and try the Magic 60 from last month's conditioning challenge.

 

[Mr. Beige]

every time I've attempted the Magic 60, I manage to screw it up somehow. the first time I tried it, I did 10 swings and snatches per arm. this time, my stopwatch stopped prematurely... and for some reason, I was doing cleans instead of snatches. it was still a good little workout, though.

there were just four newbs (including me) in no-gi class tonight. worked on mount escapes/maintaining the mount.

If you are doing an exercise where your wrist goes into extension (e.g. snatches), the back of your hand is likely hitting one of the buttons on your watch. I don't usually wear my watch at the gym, I just carry it around.

 

[Mr. Beige]

good call. I think it might've happened during the push-up phase of one of my burpees.
