Curl those biceps you vain fools!

WOD 2/20: gorilla wod: plyo

WOD 2/22: gorilla wod: plyo

WOD 2/24: gorilla wod: plyo

i've still been primarily doing plyo and oly-plyo...but at this point, i'm ready to throw weight back on the bar. there has been the typical new years influx of people, so the gym has been akin to a mall filled with people working out (if that's what one can call it...!) and this has made it more difficult to occupy either of the ...two... squat racks available in the entire gym. bah!

liz and i have taken to occasionally kissing our biceps and acting like fools in the gym - these effeminate fools with misproportined bodies are driving us up the wall! most of these dudes have arms that have a larger diameter than their lower legs! they look like they will literally topple over. our society has become so narcissistic and vain...i can't get over it. what ever happened to training for function? if only they knew that form follows function...fools!!!!! keep bench pressing and curling. go for it! i'll take my low weight oly-plyo, thank you.

30 hops for me!

WOD 2/13: gorilla wod: plyo

Back in the Heezy!

took 9 days off and felt ready to hit it again! refreshed!

had so much energy - bounced around for an hour and a half doin my normal template.

legs were feelin it as i was walkin out so i must have done something right... :) didn't add any weight onto bar...high reps everywhere, bouncey plyo.

2/14: rest day

WOD 2/15: gorilla wod: plyo

ding ding ding you guessed it. ply-zizzle.

got to keep breaking myself in after week and a half of recovery.

to all the faithful gorilla watchers (FGW) - you know the drill! ;)

2/16: rest day

WOD 2/17: gorilla wod: plyo

i am so predictable? am i really that predictable????

yes - apparently i am. more plyo for my poor old bones.

actually had a college football player ask me, genuinely, why i didn't put weight on the olympic bar when i use it. i was wondering if that would ever happen - haha. i've been throwing an empty bar around like a mad man...you FGW's know why!

extremely nice guy tho. props to him and i'm sorry about your girl, man...if my girl tried to pull me away from a conversation (total duration of under 5m) with someone in the gym, i'd give her the "see ya!!!" out the do'!

Babble and Dabble

2/2: rest day

WOD 2/3: gorilla wod: plyo

today i didn't focus on anything in particular. i mainly dabbled around, did some plyo, nautilus, oly warmup, and hopped on the rower a couple times.

i'm going to take this week off - body seems to be asking for it.

i also started grad classes so my brain has been getting a serious workout; which in turn, drains me physically. :)

all right end excuses! :)

Oly-Plyo!

1/31: rest day

WOD 2/1: gorilla wod: oly-plyo

i concentrated on oly-plyo today - specifically snatch/snatch balance complexes.
oly-plyo is my term for doing light weight high-rep olympic lifts.
there is a HUGE value here!
i generally perform many different variations of the clean, jerk and snatch. sometimes i only use the bar (today was one of those days). rep'ing it out this way virtually turns the workout into a high skill plyometric routine. has anyone caught onto this yet???!!!?!
the value here is off the chart!
