Colds fucking suck

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

I’m back after a 2 week cold…or 1 week and an extra one off to recover.
Not sure what I’m going to do, but for right now it’s westside for skinny bastards.  I can get in and out with it pretty quickly and I’m adding in HIIT.  If I get strong great.  If I get leaner […]

Making a comeback…sort of!

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Well it’s been a long time since I’ve posted here and it’s not because I’ve turned into Jabba the Hut.  Actually the opposite is true…well sort of.  I was invited into a experimental weight/fat loss thing and I just finished that up last week. I’m down about 12 lbs in 4 weeks and a good […]

The Kettlebell Kid?

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

Last Saturday morning found me on the road, after a major ice storm, trying to make a 10:30 appointment for a kettlebell lesson and to pick up a 20KG bell.  I was only a few minutes late for the lesson.  The lesson was with Chris from Rocky Mountain Kettlebell in Fort Collins, Colorado (Chris was […]

Kettlebell EDT

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

Well It’s been at least a couple of weeks since my last post on here.  It will probably be another couple before I post again.
We’ve moved out of the motel, so that means no gym other than what I have for weights.  Since we are currently making 2 house payments (hopefully that will end sooner […]

We have arrived

Monday, October 15th, 2007

We arrived in Cheyenne Wyoming yesterday afternoon after 2 days of solid driving.  Now begins the fun part of looking for a house and all the other things that come with being in a new area.  Somewhere in there we will include looking for a gym of some sort.  For right now it’s going to […]

Stress and Cleans

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Besides taking 8 hours to install a garage door opener in a sweltering garage I have done nothing in the workout range until tonight.  While sitting down watching Hero’s (great show if you have not seen it!) I noticed the kettlebell in the corner.  So I picked it up and did 3 sets of 15 […]

No gym time

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

As I mentioned in my last post I canceled my gym membership. Despite having the equipment at home and my own body(!) I haven’t had any time to workout this week.  I think that this is the way it’s going to be for a few weeks to come.  Perhaps even longer. Which bums me out […]

No more gym…

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

No I didn’t go and blow it up, although that thought had occured to me as I watched the “trainers” put the clients through yet another machine based workout.
The reason for no more gym has to do with the fact that we are moving from Iowa to Wyoming. Cheyenne to be more specific.  I have […]

It arrived

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

So my first kettlebell arrived.  Either I have gotten weaker, probably, or kettlebells are a WHOLE different beast when compared to dumbbells.  The thing feels like it weighs a ton compared to a 35 pound dumbbell that I can throw around with out any problem.  I ordered my Kettlebell from Lifeline USA which was linked […]
