what are we talking about here?
Thanks Ink! I totally followed your tips and channeled your avi - think i did well!
Deja! How’s it going, mama? Saw you’re in the South. Nice weather, good food, no?
squels Say it ain’t so? OMG, how hilarious is your day? Please tell me you worked one with marisol and her mother. “Mari-sol” Too funny! And thanks 
OMG Nik, lol! I’m glad I didn’t read that before i hit the gym. HAHA! You are so right btw. My hats off to you and Greg for that insanity. You two are far, far better than I.
HAHA! Greg! You really need to get into the slogan business. You’re on fuego! Freak Nasty, now you’re talking my language.
With that said, on to training!
Today was concurrent training and greg’s evil pyramid scheme (seriously, what is the name of this?). First part went good, second part not so much.
Concurrent Training: Minimal rest between sets and exercises.
KB Swings - 3x15x35
Jump rope - 5 mins < should have done 7 mins but peeps were cramping my style
Cable row (DD handle) - 12x90, 15x75, 15x70
1 min mile (slight incline) - 7:37 < 18 secs faster than last! Yeah buddy! This was entirely puke worthy and at the last minute I was praying! It was a big push. What’s 7 mins going to feel like? UGH!
Stretchers - 15x50, 2x15x60
4 min prowler push tabata style < more puke sensation.
Serious glute pump here! Took me about 40 mins in total. Killer!
And then I went on to the pyramid scheme. For those of you who’ve never heard of this, basically you start by doing 2 pullups, 2 dips and 5 pushups and then next round you do 4 pullups, 4 dips, and 10 pushups and on and on up to 10. And then, you go back down from 10 to 2! Yay! Ahh…good times. I believe it comes down to 60 pullups (Nadia, you might like this!) which is awesome!
Anyways, I actually really liked it and I’m definitely going to do it again. But you need to be mentally prepared for this thing, cuz its killer. I only got through half the pullups on level 8 going up before I was dunzo. lol!
It was kinda self sabotage - I made eye contact with a gym buddy and he was itching to tell me some chisme. Turned out to be a good story about how he got caught cheating - escandalo! But I knew that the minute I started talking to him it was over. Grrrr…gotta stay focused.
Anyways, I’m thinking of switching out my normal 10 sets of pullups for the pyramid scheme on the next cycle. I like a challenge 
As for the rest, tomorrow is an off day and We got a game on Sunday - its just a friendly with a new team that wants join the league. I’m actually really looking forward to it! These games are more relaxed and groovy. You can try out your Cristiano Ronaldo moves and get fancy without worrying about winning or losing.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
the pyramid training does indeed sound like a killer. that is still a heck of a lot of pullups you did there. i’m guessing your mile is running? congrats on improving. hope you have a wonderful weekend, too, and get to try out some cool new moves for soccer.
That is some crazy session-
7.37 is a good mile nice work.
pyramids are fun used to do them with pushups
1,2,3,4 ten and back is like 120 reps or close
where are training in NYC that has a prowler…dang.
shhhh pm it so no stalkers wink wait I think we’re both stalkers
I did not work on the one with Marisol and her mom.
so upset cause her mom is the shit- ‘when I drink- I feel good’
I did do the Miami HW reunion show caty.fucking.bitches
and the NY premier show with Jill Zarin and Ramona fighitng
- crazy.ass.bitches.
Ive done most of the episodes with Nene Leeks
the whole cast show for the Bevery Hills
people get fucked up on that show, bravo lets the booze flow.
best show to work on ever- I cant stand reality tv but this shit is funny
Holy crap that sounded tough!! I’m tired reading it! =)
Mentally prepared isn’t the word! Haha. I’m glad you liked it though, that makes me want to stop being a coward and continue with it.
Tabata prowler pushes?— you’re so bad ass Babygirl!
A 7.37 mile, really? thats pretty awesome, multiply that by 2 and you get mine…nice goin Flash!
and not to go to off topic, but Marisol’s mom is like the pink elephant in the room, not one person says anything about her god awful face, and I cant find any info on why she looks like eric stoltz in Mask.
Masch, for your hand care
damn that is funny. and really very useful. and funny. lol. first time i’ve ever got a lecture on skin care from a dude, heh.
he’s right, though. hmm… closest moisturizer i have to that would be my lip balm. need to get something better… i didn’t realize that chalk dried the callouses out in a bad way…
fucking Donny Shankle. I like how he takes us into his bathroom to demonstrate proper washing of the hands. He had to feel just a little bit awkward when filming that.
just leaving some lurv <3
Greg’s pyramid is brutal! That training session - WOW! Killing it in here Maschy!
Have a good game today!
Hi Masch
Congrats on the 7:37 mile. I hate to run so all running impresses me. lol. FTR I don’t consider sprinting running.
So when I’m ready to go at the oly lifting again I have at least 3 training logs to check out DebraD’s, Alexus’ and yours.

Morning Maschy!
Hehe. How did I miss this? He’s sooo mellow. Donny’s got a new fan over here! Funny!
Don’t ya love people who are funny, but don’t realize how funny they are! Like Donald Trump with that comb over, but acting so serious. He has to be one of the funniest people on TV.
First of all your mile time is IMPRESSIVE! I honestly think you’re one of the most well rounded athletes on this site
Nice mile time, I’ve got to get back to running short distances.
Hi Maschy…
I…uh…didn’t look at any of your training info.
I was just looking for, you know…pics and vids.
Didn’t see any, but wanted to say hi anyways.
so…HI!
kbynow~
Hello lovers…
Thanks for the props on the mile peeps! As my friend Julio commented, “you running like you just stole something!” And you know, I think I just may… =D
Heya Lex! and thanks!
KMC and Nikki love - Oh snap! Sorry, i’ll have to clarify - the prowler push is really me pushing the belt on the treadmill while it’s off. lol! Not a REAL prowler. I would die for one of those. Anyways, its still a good workout for lil’ ol’ me, but I think for you big guys (and you mini beasts) this “mock” prowler would be too easy. But KMC, I’ll keep stalking you - hope you don’t mind!! And I covet your job! I would be all “turtle time” all the time!!
HAHAH! Matty, seriously her face is melting. I don’t know what’s up! Maybe its a botched plastic surgery job, or some sort of brujeria. Frankly, I’m surprised Andy didn’t ask about it though!! Im going to write Bravo a letter!
Hiya Andy!! And Deb, thanks! That vid is awesome and totally hilarious!! “This is a bar of soap…” Why thank you Donny! Also, is it me or are these Oly guys like, the cutest things ever! I’m in love with that giant thing on the catalyst athletics site that does all the Oly demos. I’m always like, “oh, he grew a beard!” “Aww…nice high hang snatch babe” He doesn’t know it but we’re actually dating. Call me!
Hi Mimsy! lurv-ya back!
LOL! Puff! Trump is beyond nutty. He looks like an owl! (but not a cute one like our Owlie. Like a creepy one that shits out rodent bones)
OmO!! Thanks doll That actually means a lot to me that you say that - being a well-rounded athlete is definitely a goal that I want to achieve! And I think you are the same, Ms. Ultra-marathoner!
And Charlie, its true, sprinting isn’t running, but the way I was struggling, this run was like a full-on sprint. Cereally? FML.
Joe, this is the first time I run just 1 mile since I was in college - its actually a super fun challenge and you might like it considering the 60 day challenge you’re up to.
Edgy, you pic whore! Sorry sexy, i got nothing for ya. sigh. When I get my hawt abz I’ll show you
El entrenamiento!!
Quick recap on Sunday’s friendly. First of all, it was completely unorganized and I was insanely cranky about this. The other team couldn’t even field an entire squad and we had to mix up the two teams in order to play a proper match. I was all grumbly and crabby, and whinging about how I had to travel to bumblefuck Graveshead and “I didn’t eat 3k calories last night, to play in this silly game…” blah, blah, blah, and I even exchanged a few words with one of the girls from the other team (who was on my team) because I told her to pass me the ball instead of, you know, losing it all on her own. Bad Maschy!
One of the girls on my team even joked with another team mate that, “Its always nice to see happy people get bitchy, makes them more human, you know?” And then I laughed and got over myself and just fucking blew up the field with my mach-5 speed and it ended up being a fun day of sport. I’m fickle like that
Today’s training was a double dipper because I ran out of time in the AM. Luckily the gym is close to my office.
AM training:
Front Squat
5x 65, 85
3x 105, 120, 135
1x 140, 145 < slight PR here from 143
2x1x 150 < Both fails! You live to see another day 150, count your fucking blessings!
Snatch Pulls
3x 65
2x3x 95 < I have no arch at all! I suck, SUCK at 1st pull. I put a vid in the oly thread to see if I could get some critique…I just don’t know! Maybe I’m not spreading my butt cheeks enough?!
You can view that debacle here:
Pendlays - 8x95, 6x105, 2x8x100
PM training
Supersetted:
Pronated Pullups - 4, 4, 3, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 < meh. I used to be better at these…
Feet elevated pushups - 4x15 < could’ve made these harder
B/O lat raises - 3x15x12.5, 15x15
GHRs - 3x15x10 < weight behind head
Skull crushers - 3x12x35
And that was that!
This week is going to be wonky regarding training - I need to travel for work, plus i have some random social obligations, and it should technically be a “deload” time (if you know what i mean)…But I’m going to make the best of everything and hit it when I can!
I’m under the gun at work (sigh), so I probs won’t be updating until the weekend - but I’ll be checking in on you bitches, so keep killing it out there!
Until then, keep it classy TN
Yay girly you went up on weight on the Pendlays.
You’re so gangster doing GHRs with weight behind your head. Awesome training Mamacita!
mais quel cul !
def well rounded… congrats on the PR. Wish I knew something about oly lifting to give me a reason to go down there and “help” (read grab that ass)
edit: chyea now that is a classy poste
