Masch Needs a New Log

Training
861

Nice training template! As someone who lacks the ability to look more than a month ahead, I am in awe of your ability to plan multiple months ahead. I am really excited to hear about you getting back to soccer. With all of the work you’ve put in, I predict great, great success!

HA! Captain Commando, I love that visual. A strong workout, in spite of the potential of showing everyone your bidness, nice work!

I love that Flo Rida song! Every year at this time (the siren call of New Years Eve is sooo strong) songs like that start speaking to me. I can just picture myself in the middle of some sweaty club fist pounding the night away.

Those pull ups your little bitches!

I’m just popping in to say your avi is beautiful. I have nothing else useful to add :slight_smile:

You know I was thinking of doing some hang cleans, whats the difference between a hang clean and a power clean. Yes I know I can google it but Im lazy and would like you to do the work for me he he. The weaksauce session sure as hell didnt look like it, way to pull through Commando lifter![/quote]
Hang clean means you don’t start the pull from the floor. You basically deadlift it up then reset so the bar is just above your knees then do a clean. It can either be a hang power clean or a hang squat clean.

The difference is what position you end up in when the bar lands on your shoulders. Power clean means your legs are still above parallel when you land. Squat clean means you’re basically focusing on pulling yourself under the bar and end up in an ass to ground position then have to front squat up.

Masch: I’ve never been brave enough to go commando :slight_smile: I do regularly work out in yoga pants and a thong… I’m sexy and I know it :wink:

Reina de mi Corazón

I return at your command! I heart that fist thud all the way here in Silicon Valley.

I cannot comment on your program other than… Damn gorL! I’m so frakking glad I don’t have to worry excessively about cardio fitness! All that ru-ru-ru-running! Gah.

You so frakking athetic.

866

Ooooo. I can’t wait for the pullup challenge! You’ll video it. Right? RIGHT???

You’ll do awesome. I know it! I remember your video from the New Year’s Day challenge. Lots of fight in you.

Thanks Pixie, that was a perfect explanation.

YAY!! (and this is how Mascherano will take over YOUR soul)

Birdie - you’re right on the size 3 ball! That’s actually a pretty good idea. And I have no qualms doing stupid shit in the office, so yeah. Great rec! And thanks on the training program!! Oh my goodness, I wish I could take all the credit, but truth is I had tons of help from Germanone. We bounced a bunch of ideas and he really got me thinking about how to train for sport. And I’m definitely no expert. Hell, i’m still trying to figure out which lifts to use this cycle! But I learned a lot in the process and I’d be glad to help in any way I can!! And congrats on the recovery! 90% is good. Very good.

HAHA! Cal, ripping my pants is also a fear of mine! Last thing I need is my FUPA busting out…so wrong.

Lula, are we related? Fist pumping in da club is my steeze, girl! Fist pumping anywhere really. Lol! And yeah, I’m totally with you on New Years. I LOVE a new freaking year. So much excitement for an eternal optimist like me! Can’t wait. And I’m a total planner - to a fault! I could learn to chill a little. shrug

OMO!! My love!! Thanks, girl. And it still makes me happy that you know what REALLY look like :slight_smile:

Matty - Pixie. Pixie - Matty. Have you guys met? Pixie, Matty, is in over in the >35ers and is strong like a mo-fo Bull! He just competed in his first meet and did awesome! He’s also a NYer, so I got a special kind of love for him. Matty, Pixie is “thrower” - she throws crazy heavy objects across fields while wearing a kilt!! Its super badass, and kinda hot. She’s also rehabbing a bum knee and doing an awesome job of it. Now, who needs a drink?! :slight_smile:

And yes Pixie, great explanation!! I tend to do full cleans because that’s how I learned them. But powercleans are exceptional! Matty, I’d totally recommend you do them! And vids of course will be required!

Edgy, was that the sound of your wet panties falling? HAHAHA! I’m sorry. Why can’t I ever keep it clean around you?! I promise I’m going to stop with the potty talk in the logs :confused:

Amorosa hemosa!! I’m so glad you’re back. There was a distinct lack of sexy in this place. And I’m being dead serious. You make everything better!! And whatever on the cadio! You played soccer growing up - I know you, you know, that your muscles have memory. HAH!

Kimba, haha! Of course I’m going to vid it!! Otherwise how will we know its real?! I MIGHT even do it shirtless if I’m feeling bold - show some of these muskels off. And yes, 10 in 2010! Ugh, that was a struggle…

Did what I said I was gonna do - agility, ball work, jumps, long and short sprints. Didn’t do the timed mile though. Feeling a bit off. When’s the knee going to feel 100% FFS?! I wonder…

Have a great night, my peoples!!

Ahahaha! Thanks for the intro and the compliment Masch :slight_smile: Hi Matty! waves

You’ll get to see cute/hot when I pull out the sport kilt and rainbow knee highs with hearts on them :wink: The guys laughed their asses off when they saw them for the first time. I think they’re rockstar.

Woo shirtless Maschy! This is a must for your pull up challenge!

I feel your frustration about the knee. cuddles Patience. It will recover. Remember, you’re throwing more volume at it now. It’s not used to it and is going to tire out a little quicker than it used to. I’m going through the same process. We’ll get there :slight_smile:

871

your program is ambitious to say the least…

its cray- kind of busy
but again it suits you.
I think you like allot of activity
where is the recovery
you being a bit like me
might need to pencil that part in too

amenorrhea- really?
didnt get enough in college?
dated a footie chica in college
happened to her all the time

  • needless to say
    two tiny super jocks with delayed puberty
    mad hott

next you will want to sound like the female gymnasts in their post routine interviews-
I sound like that too.

knees - that are banged up will feel like ass in the cold
I had a less then steallar training the other day
and think its the cold

my long windedlateatnight 2 cents

yes, and please don’t.

Have a safe and sober New Years Eve, Mihah.

875

This pull-up thing tomorrow…you got this.

No extra points for getting more than your chin over the bar. When they test the world record holders, they have a camera for the chin. It only needs to be over by a millimeter.

And take your shoes off.

Muah!..for luck.

876

Yes! Good luck. Get them!

877

Sending all my pulling power your way today! GO! GO! GO!

Happy New Year, Maschy!

Hallie, Rocky…it’s true!! I am like a kitten!! Like one of those kittens on the “Hang in there” posters. Story of my life grumble, grumble

Pixie! Hai! and cuddles back :slight_smile:

Kmac! Sup, beb wink lol! yeah, its totally “busy” but its true! I love that shiz. I think you’re right on seeing whether or not it might be too much…but I mean, really, pilates is like active rest! I’ve worked up more of a sweat dry humping. Just sayin’ And yes on the knees, I’ve noticed with the cold and hormones. Meh!

MiMsy!! HI!!! I am so SO excited for 2012! I love me a new year! And I’m wishing the best for you lovey!!

Sexy, Viking! Thanks love. I will! And you too!!

Git - thanks for the good luck kiss! I needed that! And even if I didn’t get my pullups, I tried my best and that’s really all that matters…right? RIGHT?!

Nadia, thank you! thank you! thank you!! You’ve been the best throughout this challenge and I’ve chanelled you multiple times. I didn’t get them…sigh…but its all good! I had a great time in the process. I really did! I fucking love a challenge! Even if I fail miserably. lol!!

Puff - I felt the pullup power, I did!! Thanks, mama! And happy New Year to you!!

So…yeah.

As you see, I didn’t get my pullups wuh wuh

I’m actually not TOO torn up about it - altho it does suck big hairy donkey balls…

I had a great time training for them (despite my constant bitching and moaning). And overall I’m pleased with my performance. I did nearly double my max in 2 months. And that’s great! There’s a lot of woulda, coulda, shouldas, but hey, that’s life. So its all good :slight_smile:

And just for the record, I weighed myself after the pullups and I was clocking in at 131 - lololol! I seriously don’t even want to know what I would have to do to get down to 127. Oh man…

Well, my lovers! Let’s bid adieu to 2011 and helloooo to 2012!!

Here’s to a brand new year!! Much love to all!

880

OMG…my crush on you is now
T…H…I…S…B…I…G

Superb effort.

I’m no pullup expert but I wonder if doing something like this would work: 3 reps, short rest, 3 reps, short rest, 3 reps, short rest, 2 reps

Oh, and “son-of-a-bitch, motherfucker” made me laugh.
