Get off the threadmill, its not telling you the truth.

Aug 20Th.

Very rare picture of Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn had a handicap if she wanted to be proficient at archery for lack of full drawing ability.

WO du jour:
Warmup: Foam roller, bands, joint mobility. "battling ropes", and 100 situps
10 sets of each continuous.
Reg BB deadlift: 135-400 lbs for reps of 2.
1 arm 2" fat bar sets of two
weighted pullups sets of 3 with 25 lbs.
KB full cleans 40 kg. set of 2.
Day 21 for burpees.

I was looking at a news video on the confusion of how many calories you expend on any one of the cardio machines that has a electronic totalizator. Do you realize that there is a big difference in values from one machine to another and from one gym to the other. NO SHIT! Some people actually put stock in the values they see as they train, while others are too busy watching ESPN.


I have seen,as a trainer, club members jump on a treadmill day after day for months and never loose a lb nor little improvement in there cardiac capacity. Why? They are not training using a personal heart rate monitor based on their age and current capacity, which is the good way to monitor exercise efficiency. Calories burned is junk science and should be based on body composition measurements or exercise intensity.



Have a nice day suffering and remember the mission is sacred.
