BURPEES
100
First time since HS I threw up during a workout. Don’t do 100 burpees in a row after a day and night of drinking. Trust me on this!
I wasn’t aware that The Terminator threw up 
HAHAHA! I wish I was the terminator, wouldn’t even need to lift then lol.
Got a long way to go before I get on that level though!
I don’t recommend 100 burpees to anyone in any condition.
I made myself sick during a hotel workout after a night of drinking back in 2017. 20 rep sets of goblet squats are what did me in. I was only using 50 lbs but it got my HR up enough to do the trick. It took all day for me to recover.
I don’t think its the HR that does you in, I think it’s the drinking haha.
I actually feel nice now, all the boys are finally awake, so it’s time for a buffet and pool time.
Goblet Squats suck. I’d way rather squat 405 for sets vs doing high rep goblet squats. They gas me for sure!
The workout was the tipping point. I felt hungover but nowhere near nauseous until I worked out. The goblet squats were the final straw. I guess I thought I could beat the hangover away with training…or I was just punishing myself for drinking so much.
Yeah man the only reason I’m training is just to burn off all these liquid calories I’m consuming. I’ve learned over the years if I’m on a vacation with heavy drinking and I don’t workout at all I feel like shit. At least if I do 30-60 min of working out I feel just fine no matter how much I drink. Probably just sweating all the liquor out of my pores lol.
You know that saying “earn your carbs”? I believe in earn your drinks haha!
That’s why I feel like they’re so beneficial now. After running Krypteia, I felt like my back, Leg and trunk strength was increased. Also, a higher degree of knee and shoulder stability was achieved through doing so many goblet squats. Super beneficial movement for strength and mobility imo.
I see a lot of people on here talk about load being an issue, but most gyms have 120-150 pound dumbbells and if you can do 5 sets of 20-40 with those weights, you’ll have a fairly strong squat.
I might have to try incorporating this like once a week for some quad assistance and see how it goes!
Flew back into town had to get in a quick evening session to feel alive lol.

Abs, Back Ext, Rows - 50 reps each
This is exactly the reason I’ve started to incorporate them, after trying them as a basic quad builder.
I’m going to give them a try this week again and remember how much I hate them lol.
They do suck pretty bad. They suck the life out of me in a very real way. I’m pretty sure that means they’re useful.
GB Squats, Lunges, and hiking are the only things that have my quads on pure fire.
High rep squats, front squats, 20 rep squats have them on fire, but not like the 3 above.
Backwards sled dragging, especially up hills lights them up in a pretty real way. I mean, I used to use cages full of stock because it was my job at the time, but I imagine a sled would have a similar training effect.
OK guys back from vacation and ready to attack the summer.
I think I want to try a new program, but haven’t really been able to find one so might have to create my own lol.
I want to lift 5x a week, but for shorter sessions (so think a 3-4 day spread over 5 days).
I can lift/condition M-F and am going to keep the weekends open because the wife and I will be hiking and taking all sorts of weekend trips.
So rest of this week I’m not lifting. Give my body a much needed break and will just do some BW movements and yoga and sprints.
Then as of Monday next week time to get after it again.
What’s the goal for this training block? What kind of things excite you to aim for?
