Sloth Battles the Pink Robots


Recommended Posts

Monday September, 5 2022 - Labor Day

Chill day.  I mostly sat inside and pretended to prep for the first day of school.

 

Discipline my Body?

A simple workout - I set the before benchmarks on a few lifts

Trap bar deadlift - 200# / 91kg  

Double Kettlebell Front Squat - 16/16 kg / 35/35#

Kettlebell Clean & Press - 16/16 kg - 12s might actually be better

Pull Ups - no; Inverted Rows - yes.

Curl Bar - 75# / 34kg

 

Tuesday September 6, 2022

First day of school.  It went well enough.
 

Discipline my Body?

No - the first day is hard.

 

Peace out nerd friends.

Sloth has to discipline his body

'Cause I know that it's demanding

To defeat those evil machines

 

 

ETA: Apparently this song is about fighting cancer.  Do not worry I don't have cancer, I just like the song.

 

Yussss!

 

Sloth is back, hitting the iron to a good soundtrack. 

 

Don't forget to take your vitamins.

 

Also,  the song is not actually about cancer... just the later musical based on the album was.

It won't be bad at all having you around.

 

The guy who wrote "How to Speak Minnesotan" died this last week.  It was a blow to linguists every where.

School is all consuming right now.  It was a pretty good day though.  Also I have the best teammates this year.

 

Did I Discipline My Body?

Conditioning

Warm up + 6 rounds of One-handed Kettlebell snatch at 16 kg X 4/4 

A real short session because I ran out of time, but it felt great and I wish I could have kept going.

I also did 6 sets of Lateral Band Walks because I want a perky booty.

 

Peace Out Nerd Friends.

I have been absent for quite sometime as well. I'm coming back for a challenge and did a name change when I came back. Best of luck with your challenge!

At least you didn’t call it a casserole. 
 

I am just getting home from a trip up North and had a genuine Minnesotan goodbye with family. It took at least 20 minutes. Gee, it was nice. And we did not see any deer. 
 

Glad to see you around.  I think I’ll follow. Sounds like it could be fun.

The eternal debate between my wife and I.... It is a hotdish not casserole! Always love midwest goodbyes.

 

Also lets go VIKES! cant wait to see them smash those cheese heads.

It is merely other peoples lack of experience with flatness that limits their perception of our beautiful hills 😇

 

In Dutch we have words for all different kinds of flat; glooiend (=intermittently flat), hobbelig(=smaller intervals), vals plat (=seemingly flat but you have to peddle harder), egaal (=so flat it’s insane) etc etc. Dutch hills are in the definitely-not-flat-anymore category!

(I know English has words for these, just joking)

I've been battling a ferocious man-cold for the last week.  First one since masks became a thing.  Also, it's that we're back to the days of coming to work sick and muscling through it.  Although I did take yesterday off and slept.

 

Before I got sick I was keeping up with the every other day workouts.

 

I'll try to do replies tomorrow.

 

Peace out.
