Ripped for Raro 2016

<p>have your beer as your 'powerade' after a workout.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>download the HIIT app...is a great app, a good workout gets the heart pumping. Is a due on FB I follow as he does some great workouts for the app, only problem is he also likes putting up pictures of himself in flexed poses...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My core one is box jumps, press ups, either a shoulder press or ez bar curls and finish with mountain climbers; 20 sec workout, 10 sec rest, 6 rounds, takes about 12 mins.</p> -

<p>I'm finding myself doing lots of plyometric type stuff which is great. Charles Bronson ( prisoner, not actor although he was jacked as fuck too ) wrote a book on workouts he did while in solitary confinement so there's no reason not to turn into a bit of a machine if you have the inclination.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do the old Broad jumps which are a great all over conditioning workout if done correctly. You can definitely get more distance if you swing the arms to launch properly.</p> -
<p>god thing is, TR Jnr usually joins me on the HIIT workouts too, although he hates box jumps and just does jump squats</p>

<p>That's a good one. How many reps/jumps of each exercise.</p> -
<p>is just time...so you dont count reps (although you do) </p>
<p> </p>
<p>First set I can usually do 13/14 jumps, 16/17 push ups, 40/45 mountain climbers and about 15 reps of whatever other exercise...4th and 5th sets are usually a few less but last set you always pick it up again</p>
<p> </p>
<p>20sec work, 10 sec rest</p> -
Cool. How do you monitor/reset the time? Is that a bit of a pain in the butt?
-
<p>it beeps for the last 3 seconds of the 20 and says rest...then beeps 3 seconds before your 20 starts again and says go.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Android app seems better than the iApp I found for the iPad (installed 3 before I foind an ok one)...plenty of different ones.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some have fixed times, sets and breaks, but this one you can change the length of workout, rest and how many sets.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>this is the one I use</p>

<p>One thing I'm gonna add to the workout routine, rope climbing without using legs. There's a good one round the bay in Seatoun which I'll use. Hard to beat the functional strength you get from doing that and when I'm 98-99kg I'll be scaling it like Spiderman !</p>

<p>its great you have goals, but you should make them more realistic :)</p> -
<p>Weekend came and went, there's still the same amount of beer gathering dust in the garage. Sunday night was the toughest as other half and I settled in to watch American Horror story, a good craft beer would have gone so nicely with that show.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Two massive hill walks was the only exercise I actually managed but felt pretty good, second walk was with my boys both of whom are good fit little buggers nowadays which inspires me to set a good example.</p> -
<p>Beach sprints down at the bay with the boys today despite the freezing cold. Loads of fun. Also managed a couple of muscle ups at the park, can I get a "Hell Yeah!" for that shit ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No Milfs around to see but they were pretty fucken ugly reps so maybe that was a good thing.....</p> -
<p>we did sprints at rugby training last night, and I still got it, blitzed everyone <span style="font-size:8px;">(they may have all been under 11, but they are pretty quick...)</span></p>
-
<p>101.5kg this morning so whatever I am doing so far seems to be working ( not drinking, in a nutshell )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Test of willpower coming up next week, will be taking the boys to the country ( Wairarapa to be precise ) for a few days for the school holidays ( the joys of only needing a laptop and cellphone to do work ) and it's going to be EXTREMELY hard not to have a wine/beer in front of the fire when they're in bed. There's always 20 odd bottles of red on a rack by the bench and there'll be no other adults there to keep tabs on me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The days will consist of lots of kicking balls around, throwing rocks and chasing sheep.</p> -
