Running

Oh, and stop asking me for pictures.

[treelizard]

No, I'm serious. Start at 1 and work your way up and see how far you can go. I'm curious. Maybe you can get 3+4, we'll see.

I'd be interested in how you do on Level 1 though. That's a challenge.

I probably wouldn't make it.

[treelizard]

Actually, I already got my 7 minute mile a while ago, but I guess you didn't notice.

Tell me that after you hit level 4. Or level 3 for that matter.

We can hit it together and post the results.

Sometimes a good workout buddy helps you push through a workout that you can't do on your own or motivate you at the right time.

Who knows maybe you'll reach it before me

Back to our original challenge
You - 7:00 mile
Me - 6:00 mile

Are you still up for it?

[treelizard]

Anyhow, you have to aim high sometimes if you want to do your best.

How come nobody can keep up around here?? .

You're the one slowing down...

Level 4 includes crazy things like 60 ring pushups, 1.5 X bodyweight bench, 2X bodyweight squat, 400m in 1:04, ¾ bodyweight sandbag mile; 800m run 2:20, 40 dead hang pull-ups, 1 mile in 5 minutes, etc. I won't get there in this lifetime.

We've been talking about crossfit?

[treelizard]

No, but you want to master Level 3 first. You can do whatever you set your mind and heart to.

Tom, that's another way of saying "when pigs fly." Have you seen the Level 4 Standards?

[Tom Yum]

LOL! Once I get all the Level 4 standards down.

I have a bit of a cold but I did five rounds of max rep dumbbell bench presses and body rows.

60# BP, 2 reps, 21 body rows
40# BP, 15 reps, 15 body rows
50# BP, 8 reps, 13 body rows
50# BP, 6 reps, 15 body rows
50# BP, 8 reps, 12 body rows
Total: 115, average 8 reps 50# BP and 15 body rows

Followed by a couple negatives and dips and fifteen each of gh situps, frog situps, back extensions, squats. Ten second L-sit.

I'm not happy with these #s, but I'll just push harder next time.
