kettlebells and convict conditioning.......you laugh.

Jan 16th.
Today's training:
convict conditioning: 5 sets of 10 ring pullups modified, 10 pushups, 15 leg ups, 20 free squats.
10 min on heavy bag.
kettlebell cleans:(one arm) 2 sets of 20 reps 20 kg, 2 sets of 15 reps 24kg, 2 sets of 5 reps 28kg 1 min rest each set.

last night on the news, they were interviewing fitness experrt (Sic.) "Gillian" from the stupid ass show, "biggest looser" When asked what exercise she was using, She said" I have not worked out in over a month but eat a great diet" Well if you see the show, it all about loosing body weight at any cost and fitness is just an after thought. That's the problem with the media, it all about image not function. I would really like to see them in action after they loose all that blubber. I see them doing press downs with 20Lbs which we use for a seniors at 80 years old, not a lazy ass 30 something. Once again the media has stepped up to show that they are out of touch from real "reality".  Just loosing weight will not adjust weakness, it just mask it.

It been one week in working in the "covict conditioning" program into my normal training. Since I do mostly crossfit, its not that difficult  to adust to the body weight exercise I normally do, but now it more frequent. What i find so far is that when you slow it down a little and use very strict from as well as time. The only thing convict conditioning needs is a time element is some form to increase the power factor. Anyway it been productive so far as I am sore in a good sort of way.
