Today after a crazy absence from the gym for about a week and a half, I put in the work.  I pushed my body to its limits today and broke my former records of Calisthenics workouts.  I have couple workouts I use to warm up to before hitting the weights and I made a crazy effort to make a huge mark on today.  As I write this and I am super tired and aching from today’s workout, I am super satisfied.  I surely hope to beat today’s new record, by recording it greatness with a blog.  Mark it down in the record books, January 26, 2011 I went in.

Today’s New Workout Performance Record:

(25) Sets handstand into Push Ups, in which I after coming down into a push up from the handstand, I do 3 push ups to follow-up with it.

(21) Sets of Jumps, in which I do a super sprint into a leap using my verticals to go over 19 blocks (which equals about a little over half my height).

*note: These 2 exercises work on you vertical jumps, biceps, shoulders, and works well to build up your stamina.

I usually don’t do my vertical jumps over 19 blocks after a long period of time being missing from the gym, but today I was so hyped and wanted to surpass my comfort zone and push my body pass its limits regardless of the hurt I would get after the workout.  I should add some videos of the workouts I am describing so all can see, so I shall be working on a collective set of workouts I do in the gym.  Today’s workout burns so good, especially a well deserved laugh for the luckily danger fall I had landed safely when I hit the top of the 19th block and almost came crashing down on my face, while the whole Bally Total Fitness gym patrons was watching me from the corner of their eyes.  I put on quite a performance when I am in the gym.  I am ready to hit the gym hard, and lose this weight, tone up all the muscles and body parts I can and be quite fit.

Other workouts I did today:

30 lbs Lifts on Bench (laying down)  (10 reps)

30 lbs Curls (10 reps)

15 lbs Over the Back Biceps Lift (20 reps each arm)

VIDEOS COMING SOON

Thanks For Reading
I will see you guys in the gym.

*sidenote: Since I am my left shoulder is still twitchy, it’s hard to fall asleep and when I do fall asleep, my sleep don’t pass 1-3 hours and I still wake up hurting.  Its quite sad, but I get up do some work, watch netflix while working then lay down watching netflix, then sleep then back up to more netflix. What a crazy process.

30 reps
