I have a friend named Mark. He is awesome. He has a farm. He and I are both trying to get into shape. Well, we decided we are going to wok out at him farm. We did a cycle workout. I will tell you what I did, and Mark simply did the other exercise.
1- a) Jog a quarter mile to the base of a hill, turn around, and sprint the 200 meters to the top, then run the other 200 meters back into the barn where b) I did 2 pulls ups, then dropped and did 10 push ups until over and over until Mark got back from his run.
2- a) hop over a feed bag, then over another feed bag, then turn around, drop into a pushup with your hands on the feed bag, pop up and over the feed again to pushup until Mark had finished b) 35 squat press' with a feed bag of corn.
3- a) 50 jumping jacks then b) squats holding the feed bag.
4- a) 10 pushups to squat then a) 20 inch box jumps.
We finished it off with maxing out on push ups and pull ups. I did 46 pushups, then Mark did 44. Then I did 12 over hand pulls ups and switched to under hand and did another 4. Mark did 10 under hand pull ups.
We both felt so worn out and tired. It was so exhausting, but in the future we are going to time how long it takes us to do the set rep exercises with also recording the number of reps we do of the other workouts to gauge how well we are improving.
Here is to all the Saturday's Warriors!

Starting... NOW!
4 weeks ago, I was 185 lbs. I had a 33 in waist and only 4 abs visible when I flexed. This morning, I was 172, had 6 abs and obliques, veins stood out in my arms and even a few in my abs, and a 31 in waist. 12 hours later, I am 180 lbs before I have even eaten dinner. Within 2 days, I will be back to nearly 170.
This blog is going to be strictly about the body; exercises, lifts, weight and rep count, body weight, appearance, etc. It will be about how effective certain diets, work outs, or other weight loss strategies work for me and maybe a few friends of mine. This blog is about change your body.
To begin; today is my cheat day. A cheat day is the one day a week designated to eat as much junk food as I want. I started my day with a frozen pizza, a box of gummy Crabbie Patties, a flavored carbonated water, and 8 fudge brownies. I then drank a protein shake and lifted. I did 5 reps on an assisted bench at Planet Fitness at "225" (i dont know the actual weight amount, but I had 2 plates on each side, so I will do all my weights relative to that formula) for 5 reps, then 275 for 2. I did an ab workout (Myotatic crunch, 15 reps) then came back and did 1 rep of 295. I went and did 15 reps of an ab machine, then went to a leg press machine, and did 50 calf raises at 290lbs. I went back to the bench, and lifted 305 once, dropped to 275 and did it twice, then dropped to 225 and did it 5 times with a wide grip. For a cool down, I did seated row at 135, then 150 at 10 reps each with a 3 minute break between, then 20 three way reps of 12.5 lbs dumbbell curls and called it a day. I headed to work and proceeded to eat 10 fun sized Snickers, half a gallon of milk, a Cousins BLT, fries, 32 oz lemonade, and 2 homemade donuts. I have gained 8 lbs so far today, and I have another pizza in the oven and half a bag of Snickers to go.
