Strange looks...

It is a chilly 28 degrees here today in Tampa. You would be hard pressed to know that spring and summer are right around the corner for us Floridians. The past month has been very interesting at the gym. All the newbies with lofty goals of new years resolution pounds flying off their bodies have show up. Certainly the first week or so has already claimed a few casualties on the roster. Health clubs love this shit. It's called the sucker membership.

Anyway.. Cindy wanted more of a strength / metcon workout. Her shoulders and upper traps need the most development to tie in her v-taper and overall figure. This can be accomplished with heavy heavy presses, or push presses.

Meritorious

5x5x5x5x5x5 Heavy push press with barbell (you should be at bar plus 5# plates for 55 pounds) 6 rounds of 5 reps
40x Pull-up + Use close grip. Do as many body weight.. then use machine assist.. no jumping.. just light assist
50x KB Swing @ 36# KB +
60x Sit-up (feet anchored) +
70x Burpees (pushup, squat to overhead jump clap)

record time.

Maybe it was the kettlebell swings.. maybe it was the intensity of the burpees... maybe it was when she went up to one of the silverback's at the squat rack and asked if he was done "chatting"... any of these could have been the reason she got so many strange looks at the globo gym yesterday.
