Some athletes bend over backwards for you
This is a chapter I am going to work hard on, I promise I will try. Blogging is not that fun for me, but I am obligated to help a few people, so I will do this in an effort to provide helpful info. I am more than happy to help, but I would prefer to help in person, however, these are the cards that were dealt.
I arrived in Warsaw, Poland this morning. I haven't yet slept. I had my first practice as an Eagle, it went well, but my hamstring is a little jacked up. I hope it heals fast, I strained it last weekend doing sprints on the beach. I'm positive it had something to do with binge drinking the night before at my going away celebration. Enough of the bullshit.
I am going to post regular workouts for my peeps, but anyone is able to try them as well. I am not starting from the beginning of a cycle, but right where we left off when I departed the Beach. I will post regular videos of exercises and descriptions, but i have to wait til I get a gym for some of the exercises for that. Feel free to play along...

We started today with thick bar clean and jerks. Honestly, it's one of the top five ways to start a man's day. The only thing better in Frank's opinion, (Frank is the tall, gangly fella who makes fart noises in the video frequently) would be to start the day be drawing an unusually large penis on the whiteboard for everyones viewing pleasure. But he trains for something else:) Not that there's anything wrong with that... Back to the training. After that, repetition effort bench pressing followed by repetition effort pullups. Talk about upper body pump! I gots my swole on, big time. Finally, we got out the farmers bars for some carry's for distance. Simple day, hard work, good times.
1.) Thick bar clean & jerk 10x1
2a.) Bench press bodyweight 3-5 x max reps
2b.) Pullups 3-5 x max reps
3.) Farmer's carries 3-5 x max distance
-we used a moderate 155lbs on each handle, as we are trying to increase conditioning a little more, bigger weight to come. We all want to be the first to carry 315 per hand!
Enjoy the video, I know not all of the lifts have perfect form, that's why we watch, coach, correct and continue. It's when you don't know the faults, or worse, ignore the fault's and fail to correct them that present's a problem.
Train to win,

Treadmill sprints will destroy you, period. Turn off tread, attach yourself to fixed object, and run hard for prescribed time, ouch!

3.) Deadlift 3x3
4.) Farmers Carries 5 x 150'

Below is an unrelated video, but it is certainly a great full body exercise, or lower body finisher for the strong.
