Rest...or makeup workout...or skill day!


Today is the first day of our new format. Every third day from now on will be a rest day (for those of you who have worked out the previous two days). If you missed a workout, you may make up that workout; the only stipulation is that it has to be one of the workouts from the previous two days (e.g. you can't just pick any old workout). If you don't feel like resting, you can use the day as an opportunity to work on an exercise that is giving you problems. For example, if you're trying to get your pullups, work on technique, ask questions of the instructor, and work at those pullups, even if it's just one attempt at a time. Poor runner? Work on running. Even if you aren't a poor runner, you can always work on getting that time down. You get the idea. You can even work on a particular lift if you aren't quite getting it. Again gang, this isn't free time to just do whatever you want. You'll be expected to tell the instructor what you'll be working on at the start of class. My suggestion (and what I intend to do) is to pick something that you aren't good at, and make that your focus for the month.
+48 pushups.
Check out me and Steve, hard at work calculating the FGB totals. Hey, the math was hard! Look at us, surrounded by coffee, water, even gatorade because we were slaving away. Please note Alan in the background getting a beer...

Or we could just let Jason from "Halloween" breathe down her neck for motivation.

KYLE'S CHEATING AGAIN! I mean, well, he did the pushups, but, um, well, ah ... IT'S THIS DANGED ECONOMY!!!

(If he's thinking about New York, I guess, then it's tomorrow and it counts :-D..... [was I drooling? Must be those New York falafels.])
