kickin ass masch!! best of luck in the next two games.
Thanks everyone! And thanks for the recs on the hamstring - got a lot of good info here. Excellente!
Not gonna lie, my entire body was sore as shit the subsequent days after the game. Further, I’ve been under mental and emotional duress, so I haven’t worked out in three days. But today was squat day and it felt gooooood!
Squat 5x95, 105, 115, 125, 130 < 5lbs more than the last. oh yes, quite a challenge. I’ve taken to filming the main lifts a la kimba, great way to watch form. Form was shotty, won’t lie.
Step ups 4x12x45 < 5 lbs more than last
Hypers 4x10x25 < actually hypers still kind of irritate the hammie. Went down in sets, shoulda gone down in weight but I was being lazy (i.e. to get a different db from across the room - is that wrong?)
Abwheel - 4x12 < I still find these annoying. Like just an annoying thing that annoys you. Anyways, 2 more than last.
THEN I did the fabulousness that is box jumps. If I could marry box jumps I would. First I did 10 on a medium box and tried them like Snap does em, no arms. Got that down. Then added 10 lbs, that was good too. Then went over to the big box. Did 10 with arms, and then 10 with no arms. Still kinda scary but totally fun.
Since I haven’t been working out I thought tomorrow I’d double dip. In the am sprints/soccer and pilates. Then in the PM upper body. Sat DL. and Sun a game. I don’t know though…
you should get a deep tissue massage. I’m getting one next week, $45 for 1 hour, wooo!
marry box jumps? hehe…
You took vids and didn’t post 'em? Naughty girl, Maschy.
Good job on the box jumps. I think there would be many, many men in line to marry you, Maschy, before you could marry box jumps. Speaking of which, I saw your beauteous backside in SAMA. Damn, woman.

And Andy, you have no idea how badly I’m in need of one!
So, yeah, didn’t do anything fitness related this am - basically my week has sucked giant donkey balls. Right now I’m waiting for a plumber to come fix my toilet which is completely broken. This after it flooded my entire hallway and living room yesterday with poo water.
So currently, I’m peeing in the shower and have yet to figure out what to do with my number 2s, which for the record, is still safe inside my intestines. Ahh…love it.
Oh and did I mention I have my period? Yeah. Good times.
Anywho, Hi MiM, Sup Snap! Thanks for the booty compliment 
And I left the camera at the gym last night - but who wants to see squat vids every 5 lbs? When I get to 140 I’ll repost. I need to get my DL vids up first tho…
Tonight I’ll hit gym for some sort of HIIT circuit deal, tommorrow upper, sunday soccer. I’m getting a scratchy throat, could be allergies…
Your post made me laugh, which is a good thing.
I hope your weekend makes up for your crappy week!
Masch look, I thought you might get a laugh or two out of this. It’s a parody from Spain. Your “country man” is at the end of it :P.
Nice work on the game… plate pushups are the shit.
good work to be back.
gayest Gym in NYC is so realitive, Steel gym on 23rd is super scary
some things can’t be useen.
where did you go for ART, I need to go or have surgery on my neck
ps if you need a plumber who wont rob you I know one.

HAHAH! That’s some funny stuff. I like hearing a Spaniard do a portuguese speaking in spanish. And then doing an Argentinean! HAHA. No wonder no one likes the Argies - we’re so annoying.
ps. Apparently Cristiano hooked up with Kim Kardashian - he clearly likes morochas con culo

Wuh Wuh! A bunch of comedians we got on this forum huh?
And thanks, Snap. glad my story made you laugh. Still isn’t fixed, but its jerry rigged, so it “works”.
kmc - HAH! “some things can’t be unseen”. And thanks for the props.
Since we’re talking gyms, do you know of any powerlifting gyms or old school gyms here in the city? I looked online and saw nothing. There’s one in Queens (with tires to throw around!), but I ain’t trekking out there. Let me know if you know anything.
As for the ART. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend my ART guy. He’s good, but I think you’ll find better. I only go to him because he’s covered by my insurance. I’ve gotten really high recs for an ART guy in Brooklyn, Cobble Hill area, so if you’re willing to travel I’ll send you his deets.
Yesterday did MiM’s BB complex 5x6-10x50-60 (varied it up a bit) MP, front squat, BO rows, RDLs - loved it! Also did HIIT on row machine at Skye’s rec. Also loved it. And now y’all realize how much I pilfer from you…hahah! Thanks guys!
Today’s w/o upper body
Pullups 10xAMP - 4, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1 < Getting better. Some of these were neutral some pronated
BD Incline Bench - 2x8x30, 35 2x6x40 < At least I hit the 40s!
Pushups - 4x15x25 plate < only 1 full set, the other 3 I needed to take breaks - meh! down from last time
DB Lat raises - 1x12x15, 3x15x15 < up from last on weight and reps, but I mean these should be light anyways
Band pull aparts - 4x15
And that was that!
I’m doing an inadvertent food experiment that is resulting in an huge spike in carbs - I’ll let you know what happens.

hahaha I got more. I’ll post them if you want.
Yo creo que tu eres una morocha con culo no? en ese caso entonces a mi tambien me gustan las morochas con culo :P.
Maschy did you do 10lb. weighted pullups? If so, WOW! You are an animal!
And, hitting the 40s! Killing it.

HAHA! Um…I wish! 10 sets of “as many reps as possible” But thanks for thinking I could even do that!
Ronaldo - a quien nos les gustan las morochas con culo? somos divinas! YES! post away.
hahaha si tienes razon.
Okay here is another one :P.
My view of you as an animal remains firm.
keeping busy nice work.
there are some secret gyms in the NYC area…
geez I wrote a book.
Detail fitness in Bk out in bensonhurst
has a powerlifting ‘area’ basically a rack and platform
and the most 45 plates I have ever seen in my life.
they have some serious lifters there.
and as a bonus its owned by a ‘security consultant’
you can figure that out.
The one in queens has some serious gear
collusium gym or something close.
but that shit is far I may as well fly somewhere.
there are two or more very tiny very exclusive gyms in NYC that are really nice.
one in chelsea peak performance , and one uptown upper east I think its Edge
I went there and had fun on the day pass.
both have sleds or prowlers, forza benches, GHR machines bumper plates,
but are prohibitively priced
Like buy a new car or go train priced.
Matt McGorry who writes here and on Elite FTS is a trainer at peak performance.
All of the ‘exclusive’ gyms like equinox or rebook Sports club have ZERO gear and smallish db’s
I am in the ghettoest of the Gheetto stank nasty gym but its like 200$ a year
go there just to squat.
and I go to the bowery YMCA also ghetto but new and has a pool and is 2 mins away.
However there are some University gyms at NYC Hunter and Columbia that are good
The NYAC club has a great facility but thats for college athletes and its invite only
I used to play judo there.
The steel gym on 23 is gay as fuck, but loaded with pro BB’s and lots of gear.
the old Johnny lats gym on 14th and 6th is gross but has 150lb db’s and cooties.
there is this place in BK
its old skool roid haven. Kai greene and other pro types or pro type wannabes train there
we can stop the hijack and do pm if you want.
and yes I would take the info on ART pleeze.
edit:
let me add that crossfit has some pretty cool gear, bumpers, kettle bells, what have you
went once or twice - did the wod so I could do some olifts that I cant do elsewhere.
like the gear not a fan of their koolaid or classes
they are something akin to 200$ a month so no fucking thank you.
although dropping the bar with real bumpers is something I miss.
and there is lost battalion hall in queens an actual olympic club, but there hours are like
wed night and some hours sat and sun
yay for the 40s!
a gym is that is gay but has lots of PRO bb’ers? somehow that doesn’t seem right, haha!
