The Win for the Land and the Workout

It was really fun last night texting with my friend who has been a long suffering Cleveland sports fan. LeBron James and the Cavaliers pulled off what seemed to be damn near impossible: 1) Beat Steph Curry and the Warriors three games in a row, 2) Win a professional sports championship for the City of Cleveland, 3) Come back from a 3-1 series deficit which had never been done before and 4) LeBron would need to lead BOTH teams in all major categories to pull off the win (Points, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals). In the end, there will be the memory of "The Block" on Andre Iguodala by LeBron who seemed to materialize out of thin air and "The Shot" from Kyrie over Curry. I am not a Cleveland fan but I am very happy for the city and my friend to finally have another championship.

The Gloves Are Off in Miami and the Workout

Bernie and Hilary are going at it tonight. It seems that with Sanders winning in Michigan, Clinton is going after him. Hilary seemed to get the loudest applause for bashing the Castro regimes for suppressing freedom of speech. Bernie got rousing applause with his closing remarks addressing the discrepancy in wealth between the average American and the top 1% of this country and addressing campaign finance reform. Pretty bruising but at least they were addressing the issues.... not talking about spray tans and hand size?!


Warm Up: Perform each exercise in order for one minute each to complete a set. 3 sets total with no rest.
Heavy Rope Whip
PVC Passthrough
Metabolic Conditioning: Perform each exercise in order to complete a set. No rest. Five sets total for time.

Two Day Post and the Workout of the Day

Yesterday ended up being a rest day from all forms of exercise. The break was much needed after three heavy lifting days in a row on top of three very early morning wake ups. The day off also allowed me to pick up a beautiful Rogue Ohio Bar I spotted on Craigslist for $200. That thing is bad ass. We went and had dinner with friends and then slept in this morning. Back at it today with a great heavy workout!

Warm-Up: Perform each exercise in order for minute each to complete a set. Three sets total. No rest between sets.
