Any advice on getting box jumps and floor wipers to a manageable level?

Successfully rested on my rest day. Wow sore! All that time off really hurt!

You are worth this. You are the star of your movie! Also... Reckless and wild the pull through the turns. Crowd sits potent and secretly stern. More cake!

Wow! Didn't expect people to follow along! Going to post thoughts on here about workout and reps and sets to help me remember what prevented me from completing the workout. Pullups – 12 reps 1 set 8 1 set 4 (Used to rock out 25 regularly... well 20 years ago and using a kip. I'm satisfied with these numbers as a startingpoint.) Deadlifts with 135lbs – 50 reps 1 set 25 1 set 15 1 set 10 (Pretty confident going into this one. I enjoy Deadlifts! Lined up at the Olympic bars with the big boys and got some looks as I only had two plates on. But I enjoyed the second looks as I didn't stop at 5 haha! Was out of the gym since December 26th so I didn't know a single new years resolution member in there.) Pushups – 50 reps 1 set 25 1 set 10 1 set 15 (Always been a strong exercise for me. Want the 50 in one set! Minigame!) 24-inch Box jumps – 1 rep (Wiped out! Completely destroyed. I need to work on My lung capacity and wind.) Floor wipers – 8 reps (I was trying to take it easy here so I used a 40 pound sand bar and regretted it. I am going to try the 135 point like in the video next time. Had a hard time keeping my shoulders down and balance.) Single-arm Clean-and-Press with 36lbs Kettlebell – 11 reps right 5 left (Still out of wind here. Never done Kettlebell stuff. This is going to take some work to get down.) Pullups – 0 reps (Completely out of anything. Sat in a chair and pictured myself beating this challenge. I refuse to let the low sets be set backs. Going to throw in some of these here and there to work on them... especially box jumps, floor wipers, and kettlebell. Anyone got some advice on how to dismantle this opponent?

Long term goals. 1.Complete the 300 workout in an hour or less. This is my main mission... the endgame boss. This is the rank 1 in arena... for now... until I achieve it. Then it will be new goal time! Short term goals. 1. Bodyweight workout or gym workout 3 times a week minimum. 2. Clean up my diet, increase paleo foods to 90 percent. 3. Retest my 300 workout progress bi-weekly. http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/43861-rangers-quest-to-300/#entry890592 To not double post I will be logging there! Help me stay motivated!

Good to be back In The gym.

Do I set my own 6 week goal for my first challenge or do I wait for someone to post a chall3nge. I was thinking of doing the 300 workout as a challenge in 6 weeks.

Hmm to get back in shape I wanna lift. Not a cardio guy indoors. I love running but to me running is a pass time and for fun and to clear my head. I wanna get a routine that involves lifting weight such as bench squats and dead lifts but I don't want to pigeon hole myself in a set routine. I love variety and hate machienes. I have never found a single machiene that feels natural to use. Boil it down to this. I want to be full of dense muscle. I want to lower my bodyfat to see my muscles I make. I don't want to be huge.... I want to be strong. Diet... I am already eating paleo only when possible and intermittent fasting for health and religious reasons. As far as challenges... I haven't looked at them yet. Still reading articles. Any help is appreciated. My routines I used before were alot of isolation and I want more compound movements.

He didn't copy it exactly but his show is on now and he is claiming he invented it. He isn't calling it paleo but he is claiming it.

Guild? I can see I have some reading to do.

Semper fidelis! Welcome I was one of the elitist jarheads who you probably hated. Full of myself and my fitness. I could run forever and was a monster. I apologize for being a tool but now we are both here. I'm a 39 year old now with a gut and a sedentary job. I guess it is a fitting revenge for those I harassed about pt.

I am 5 foot 11 inches tall. I weigh 200 pounds give or take. I used to average 175 pounds to 180 pounds with 15 percent bodyfat according to the handheld machines here at work. My fitness goals are... Get my body fat down to lower than it was. Gain strength and coordination to be more like I was. I'm in my late 30s and I miss being given able to run and jump and play. My kids are 10 and 7 and they deserve a dad who can play with them too. I want my confidence back. Now I feel over inflated and disgusting. I am not afraid of hard work. I spend t 4 years in the USMC so I'm not afraid of adversity and I enjoy the gym. I am a stickler for form when lifting and detest machienes. What I am going to do to reach my goals... 1 I will clean up my diet and go more paleo. Also intermittent fasting is perfect for my work as I am isolated for 12 hours a day usually. 2 I will find a routine to follow and I will execute it. I need a routine though. I've looked through some here and I am a bit Confused since I don't like other people I don't knows plans. So if there is one that produces results for many... Please clue me in!
