I have accepted Binge Artist's challenge and will be lifting chest all five days this week.

M: barbells
T: dumbbells
W: machines
R: cables
F: various pushups

This is a horrible idea obviously, but I am not one to refuse a challenge. I'm about to hit the machines tonight...I'm aching a bit and I don't know how this is going to go, but we shall see! At least the rest of my body (sans tris) is getting a partial break this week. I need that too, as I've been going hard without much rest for a bit now.

Correction, amigo. This is a Binge Artist idea. And hence, a BRILLIANT idea.

As for me, yesterday was back day. So a shit ton of pulling movements and such.
 
yesterday was my first race of the season
20 min jog
15 min strides/dynamic stretching
raced the mile -- pretty sluggish 4:40, but was so far ahead i couldn't be fucked to work any harder
30 min jog

today

am -- easy 5 mi
pm -- 30 min body-weight exercises for chest/legs/core + 30 min swimming/strides in the pool

I did 25 mins on bike and cross trainer at the gym today plus some arm exericses. I'm feeling like a fat bastard at the moment so hopefully gym will help. At least I will have a healthy heart ¬_¬

Sounds like you might injure yourself dude.. I would pass on this challenge. If you don't, I challenge you to lick your own ass.

Anyway, I just did shoulders. Will go for a bike ride in a minute, no HIIT today though, my legs are sore.

To get into the Navy SEALS
The assessment is:
500 yard side stoke in 10:30
50 push ups 2:00
50 sit ups 2:00
8 pull ups
1.5 miles in 11:00
all back to back.

My only problem is getting the 1.5 mile in 11 minutes :(

My guess is that the run time will be the single most important factor in determining your likelihood of success. A close second would be the pull ups.

You'll probably wanna show up at BUDs doing the run in under 9 minutes, and doing 20 pull ups.

Also, even though it ain't "tested" you'll wanna be able to haul ass over short distances. So work on short runs too, like the 50 and 100 meter dash.
 
60 min run this morning. probably nothing this afternoon.

edit: 4 miles easy. got all stoned and rap-music-y and couldn't help it.

man it takes forever to find someone on youtube doing actual mantis pushups:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BufOzyykivA&feature=related

trying to condition my hands so i can break boards with one finger, someday. years of doing this every couple of days allows the individual fingers to become lethal weapons which can penetrate bones. usually you start with 10 fingers and work your way down to just index finger and thumb.

srsly tho theres like 5 million vids of ppl doing mantis on their palms... lol cute
