Trump Statues and the Workout

Apparently overnight, naked statues of Trump appeared in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Seattle, and New York City. Titled "The Emperor Has No Balls" the anarchist collective INDECLINE commissioned the statues and had the following comment: "Like it or not, Trump is a larger-than-life figure in world culture at the moment. Looking back in history, that’s how those figures were memorialized and idolized in their time... with statues." The New York City Parks Department responded to the installation of the statues this way: "NYC Parks Department stands firmly against any un-permitted erection in city parks, no matter how small." Perfect.

Olympics and the Workout

I love the Olympics. One thing that I have really appreciated this year more than ever (probably because of the tenor of the Presidential campaign, the Black Lives Matter movement, debates about immigration, the call for a ban on Muslims and refugees entering the country, etc.) is the diversity of the U.S. athletes. It makes me very proud to be an American.

Warm-Up:
Air Squat, 20 repetitions
Shoulder Girdle Stretches
GHD Back Extensions with PVC Overhead Press, 5 sets of 10 repetitions
Banded Barbell Overhead Squat, 5 sets of 10 repetitions
Weight Training:
Low Seated Barbell Overhead Press, 5 sets of 4 repetitions
Barbell No-Feet Clean from the Hip, 5 sets of 5 repetitions
Clean from Jerk Block, 10 sets of 2 repetitions
Front Squat, 8 sets of 3 repetitions

Have a Great Day!!
