I'm diggin' the Poker 400, if only I could find somebody else that would be up to it! :( The Distance Burpees sounds horrible, I might just have to try that on the golf course next week..(But spatially, how far is 300/400m?) I must comment that you DO seem to run an awful lot though...Hasn't the concept of "chronic cardio" been burned into your skull enough after hanging around here? ;) Lovestoclimb on "WODs 11/2-11/6" http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/wods-112-116#post-37173 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:05:59 +0000 Lovestoclimb 37173@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ 100pc - week 3, day 3, column 3 (122 total) pullups + 55# x 4 front plank - 2:00 dumbell squats 70# x 10 pullups + 30# x 5 left side plank - 1:30 right side plank - 1:30 dumbell squats 70# x 12 pushups + 50# x 5 burpees with pullups x 5 Get Primal on "WODs 11/2-11/6" http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/wods-112-116#post-37125 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:52:57 +0000 Get Primal 37125@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ Hey Jess, time was 9:24 today. If you need ideas for workouts check the link on my name, I log all my workouts there. It's a nasty workout, especially when you're racing the clock. If you do the workout come over to the blog and comment, I like to hear how people are doing!

Uphill sprints x8 Between sprints I did some calf raises at the top of the hill (between 15 - 25) Finished on a song by Trentmoeller called 'While the Cold Winter Waiting'. It seemed perfect cuz it was nice and mellow...and super cold out this morning!

I found my happy bike place...beautiful fall day.

Mini Ache Hunt (see "The Paleo Diet for Athletes" at pp. 181-3 for an explanation). Start with slow jogging on my forest trail at 65% of max heart rate (Move slowly to the "hunting grounds") - a good warm up Cross the river into the "hunting grounds" and commence a series of 6 short sprints interspersed with recovery jogging in the move slowly zone (Chasing the quarry) Pick up the biggest, most unwieldy rock I can find and carry it back "home" to camp in the move slowly zone. (Bringing home the bacon) This was a BLAST. Totally spontaneous and completely unstructured idea, but I had a great time. Because I didn't consider it a formal "workout" I didn't bother keeping track of time or distance on the sprints, the weight of the rock, or how I carried it - other than to make sure I didn't get hurt. The only hard part was that there were a few deer out in the evening on the way back and I was sorely tempted to drop my rock and give chase through the undergrowth.

Squats and pushups are great compound movements that work a good amount of muscles each. Throw some pullups in there and you've got all your major muscle groups covered...except for the abs. Heck, throw in some planks and some renegade rows! Jess on "WODs 11/2-11/6" http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/wods-112-116#post-36178 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:06:45 +0000 Jess 36178@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ You think just doing an insane amount of push-ups and squats for the next 6 weeks, with some additional slow cardio and tabatas mixed in there, would be a pretty sufficient workout program? Lovestoclimb on "WODs 11/2-11/6" http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/wods-112-116#post-36177 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:01:30 +0000 Lovestoclimb 36177@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ I'm just going with standard width for my challenge. I think anyone would definitely have a different, and probably more challenging, experience if they went sheerly with close-grip or wide-grip.

That pushup challenge looks brutal, I've GOT to try it. There are so many different push-up variations though...Are you guys just sticking to one? Do you think it'll still work everything in generally the same way? The <a href="http://twohundredsquats.com/" rel="nofollow">http://twohundredsquats.com/</a> challenge looks pretty badass, too. Anybody else in? ;) dragonmamma on "WODs 11/2-11/6" http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/wods-112-116#post-36173 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:39:41 +0000 dragonmamma 36173@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ As well as my October conditioning workout of 100 pull up burpees and a half-hour game of chicken ball with my hubby, my big accomplishment today was learning how to "Skin the Cat": <a href="http://www.mytrainer.com/action/viewvideo/255/Skin_the_Cat_Gymnastics/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mytrainer.com/action/viewvideo/255/Skin_the_Cat_Gymnastics/</a> It was pretty scary, because I wasn't sure how much shoulder mobility it would require. I was afraid I might pull my arms out of the sockets! I also wasn't sure how much strength it would require to bring myself back to the starting position, but it turned out to be lots easier than doing burpees.
