Everyday we Husslin'

Trish sent me this one yesterday, Love it!

I am now obsessed with the song Jukebox Hero by Journey, check out a remix of the song below:

SOooo just like I told you, been KILLIN' it in the gym Monday and Tuesday after that 'Calorie-Packed' meal on Sunday night.

MONDAY:  Felt like a long day....came home and the power was out ugh...had nothing to eat because everything needed to be cooked.  I ate celery sticks with tuna (added miracle whip and pepper for taste, non-paleo) and a Protein Shake.  Took a nap in my muggy hot house, but at least the power came back on within 30 mins of me falling asleep and I took a rock hard nap.

Strength was 1 RM Bench Press -- I didn't do very well at this, Rob was giving me direction on how to execute it better and I feel I did worse following his instructions.  My 1RM is usually 105#.

WOD: 5 Rounds for Time
12 Full Squat Snatch 95/65
20 GHD situps

You wouldn't think this sounds so bad just looking at...but it was INTENSE...  65# isn't that heavy but its just getting the lift to flow properly is where you get stuck.  I tried to complete my 12 of each round in sets of 3.  The GHD situps I just cranked out as many as I could before getting light headed and then rested and went at em again.  The time cap was 15 mins but I wanted to finish, my Time for the full 5 rounds was 20:28.  I told Staci I wanted to set the bar for her and she completed it in 21:58, so BOOYAH!  I am glad she is back from her vacation in Nebraska, its good to have some competition and she really pushes me to do better.  Also, points out my weaknesses and what I need to improve on overall.

TUESDAY: Super Tired, but felt like I had a ton to do!  After work, I made lunch and prepared Paleo Pineapple Pork ribs!  Plus, I wanted to get the laundry started before it got too out of hand.  Finally, I was in bed napping around 2, I only got about a 2.5 hour nap before working out.  However, I took my new AMIN.O. Energy supplement by Optimum Nutrition and I love it!  I wanted to get away from all the chemicals and additives in 1MR and this was the solution to a more pure/clean energy.  The caffeine comes from Green Tea and uses BCAAs for recovery acceleration and improved focus and energy.  Plus the taste of Orange Cooler, tastes exactly like Orange Kool-aid!

Skill of the Day was to work on Hand-stand Push-ups.  I was able to do about 4 kipping and then after that my shoulders just got tired.  I want to be able to do them in actual workout, but if I am tired after 4 how am I going to complete the work when there is multiple.  I will have to scale back to using lighter bands to make it harder until I am able to link multiple kipping HSPUs.

WOD
12 min AMRAP of
12 Box Jumps 24/20"
6 Thrusters 95/65
6 Bar facing Burpees

I completed the 12 mins with 7 rounds Rx!  Murdered that.  Everyone else got about 4 rounds and a few extra reps.  My strategy going into this workout was to do everything unbroken.  I would do the 12 Box Jumps, then rest for a 5 count, do the 6 Thrusters, then rest for a 5 count, do the 6 Bar Facing Burpees, and rest for a 5 count before going on to the next round.  This strategy really helped me power through the workout and excel at it.

Bonus of the day, was that I actually got to coach 630 group!  I only had one student, Devin, but it was fine got a little one on one time an even got to stretch out with her which helped me out also.  After coaching, we practiced our 1 handed handstands.  Staci and I have come up with a challenge to see who can find the coolest/weirdest/funniest place to do a 1 handed handstand and take a picture of it.  The person with the most epic one wins!  I really need some ideas for this!?  Suggestions welcome :)

Now, back to the Pork Ribs!  The recipe I used can be found here.  These were delicious definitely making them again! However, Justin doesn't like pineapple...how can you not like pineapple, we live in Hawaii!

I will be trying out another rib recipe tonight, kind of adapted it on my own we will see how it turns out.  This one will be BBQ ribs, a little more traditional.
