The Office

The Office: becase we 'do work' here.


I understand that I am different yet will be given no special treatment here.
I will go through hell, and there will be no excuses, no turning back once I walk through these doors.
If I vomit, that is no excuse to stop my workout. I will get back up again …and again.
I will lift heavy and break records.
If it’s easy, I will go heavier.
I understand that this is a battle, I am here to dominate, nothing less. Sitting down … lying down … these are not options.
I will earn my respect by getting bigger, stronger, faster & mentally tougher.
I will outwork my opponents and do the extra work that no one ever told me to do.
I will train with fire in my eyes.
I will not back down!

Daily WOD's 8/15-8/20


8/15/2010
This would officially be the last workout "the office garage" before I had to pack everything up and move out. My friends Michael Foster and John Ratley traveled up to share this WOD with me. I was quite nervous after listening to John's description of the pain he went through the first time he had done this workout. The high rep # was also playing with my head. However i devised a strategy to follow to keep me on pace throughout the reps to keep me from resting to long. I chose to do 3 sets of 10-8-6 reps, and that would equal 72, so do 3 more and that'd be it.
"Randy"
75lb power snatch x 75 reps
Korey: 6:27
Michael Foster: 6:50
John Ratley: 7:20

My strategy worked well, I did the first 3 reps, sat the bar down, took a breath, then got into my three sets of 10-8-6 and never spent much time with the bar on the ground. Michael and John both said they were pretty much doing as many as possible at the beginning then sets of 5's. It proved that strategy helped.

My friend Daniel E. gave my this workout, said he had did it a few days before in 8:39 and to be honest the workout itsself scared the shit out of me thinking about it,.. i doubted even breaking 10 minutes..and i didnt, not even close. Did this workout by myself at my work.


8/20/2010
Bench Press with 95lbs + smallest jump stretch bands
3-3-3-3-3-3 with 30 seconds of rest between each set

immediately after
(my first workout from the OPT blog..(optimum performance training)which i'm going to be following as best as possible from now on.
15 pullups
row 250m
10 burpees
row 250
15 pullups
row 250
10 burpees

6:00 did all the pullups and burpees unbroken, the row really got to me, felt slow on it. Did this workout by myself at my work.

Then in the afternoon I was going to do another workout off of the OPT blog which called for "trying to get 300 calories on the AirDyne bicycle in 10 minutes" but the airdynes at shannons apartment were both broke, so instead i just rowed for 10 minutes. My rower doesnt count distance so i have to estimate according to strokes, and i estimated about 2,200meters in 10:00. Thought this would feel like it was gonna take forever...put on some lil wayne radio on Pandora and it was over in no time!
