Hood Workout

Here is a prison video of some power lifting. Again no excuses.

This video highlights the Nasty Girls crossfit workout.  The workout is, 50 squats, 7 muscle ups, 10 hang power cleans at 135#’s.  This of course is done 3 times for time.  If you don’t have a place to do the muscle ups or can’t do them, do 7 pullups and 7 dips (or do 25 [...]

This exercise includes many of the classics.  It is a variation of the manmaker with a twist added with the use of kettle bells.  Kettle bells have become more popular as of late.  This workout is challenging with or without the bells.  If you want to do it with just your body weight you can, [...]

Ronnie Coleman has the right mental attitude while working out.  Repeating “light weight” through the entire video, calling monster weights peanuts.  So next time you are doing some real light weight just remember what the body is capable of doing.  “Everybody want to be a body builder, but nobody want to lift this heavy ass [...]

The squat/jump just is not enough.  You need to busting the back flip on the up on your burpees.  Here is the motivation.   I am in a hotel this week and burpees are the only thing keeping me sane.  Pushups are not giving enough.  I am having to get the whole body moving and [...]

This is a double dose post.  I ran across these two videos and really neither was hood enough, though both were in the right location and a bit motivational.  These two videos take place at free locations where excuses do not exist.  So get some. I just got done doing 21 burpees after 70 pushps [...]

You will appreciate it when you are done.  Here is a great work out of the day.
