LOL, it's turned into this defacto training log for like five or six of us.

So, handstand pushups with a spotter holdong my ankles are only slightly harder than doing them on the wall. Even with the spotter only barely touching.
Also, I notice that I lose my balance more when trying to push back up than anything.
I conclude that this is a balance issue more than stabilizers and raw strength is not involved at all.
Will continue to practice and report back.
On another subject, only managed the CFWUX3 yesterday - nothing more. Well, there was the margarita bicep press at a birthday celabration for a friend...Comment

Weight room from 9:35 to 10:25. I did stretching, abs, legs, shoulders, and triceps. Then after school i went to pre season practice. We first ran half a mile. Then did sprints for a while and at the end of each sprint we had to do situps or pushups(switching off). Then we had to run the whole football field and back. I pretty much went really hard(harder than anyone else) for these excersizes(what i just described). BUT, then we had to run the bleachers 10 times! And there's like 10 or 12 different starewells for each bleacher. So thats like 100 to 120 stairs we had to run up and back down! Plus, we had to run back all the way to the start of the bleachers. I was so exhausted from that. More exhausted than i ve been in a while.
Then we went back into the mat room and drilled singles, doubles, head clears, snap downs, switches, stand ups, etc. But that was alot easier than the 10 bleachers. Then we did some live wrestling. And finally we did 10 pullups and that was it. Im glad i went.Comment

1.5 mile jog. Hamstrings smoked from yesterday's walking lunge steps.Comment

A typical boxer's training regiment has him running 2-4 miles per day to maintain a base level of cardio vascular stamina and leg endurance.Originally posted by Hardball View Post
Muaythai fighters need more leg endurance and stamina because of all the kicking, kneeing and leg on leg impact so they run 4-6 miles per day. I think olympic TKD fightes do a great deal of running too.Comment

Went to MMA but had to sit out during a lot of it.
I did some work on Thai kicks. Then I did as many knees as I could do on each leg. Dude holding the pads challenged me to follow that up with 100 flutter kicks and 30 squats, so I did...
Saving yesterday's WOD for later this week. It'll be a week or so before I want to do more upper body stuff.Comment

2 mile run (15:00)
5-6 x 3:00 rounds bag work.
5 x 200 meter hard-runs.
Got a little critique on my bag work. Normally I throw hooks pivoting to the side and exploding off that leg. I got introduced to the short right to the body since its straight and often unexpected.
Had to practice it a bit, but landed a couple of solid ones when I set it up.
Need to get more sleep these days...Comment

Anybody got good lower body/core workout suggestions for me? Anything I don't have to use my arm for even though it's feeling better, I want to be nice to it. Let's see...jogging/running, lunge steps, squats, leg lifts, flutter kicks, situps, box jumps, tuck jumps, good mornings, back extensions, hollow rocks, supermans... Anything else?Comment

I got a great excersize that you can try....
This doesnt require weights... Just stand upright, and raise your arms to the side, like a bird flapping its wings kind of. Do this about 200 times(it takes disclipline, youll start feeling the burn at 50), and youll be so sore the next day. This works your shoulder muscles, but it wont make them all big and buff, it will carve out the fat of your muscle because of the low weight high rep nature of the excersize.
And for the core excersize, you should just keep doing sit ups, situps on each side, and more situps.Comment

LOL, except I'm trying not to use my right arm.
Situps are fun. I want an abmat.
I'll do the WOD I missed (tuck jumps and back extensions) tomorrow and for Monday I was thinking three rounds of 25 box jumps, 50 back extensions, 75 leg lifts and 400m run.
I guess I can always do tabata squats or situps too.Comment

Ever try a spinning class?Originally posted by treelizard View Post
I'm sure you're familiar with it, but for the others who may not be its basically a group class on stationary cycles where the class leader works intervals and you keep up. Its a good way to blast the legs and work cardio; doesn't require any upperbody.Comment

Alright...it looks like this is really working out for some of you so I'm gonna hop on the wagon:
Approximately 2.5 miles worth of intervals.
Broke up the intervals by going into pushups, situps, and lunge steps(these really truly suck when you take off running again).
Ended running with cooldown lap. Went into the lower body and abs part of Scrapper's Workout 1...then limped home.
TL...I think Scrapper's W/O's are pretty good to finish off a workout, especially if you do it HIIT style. I like doing it after runs to throw some pure agony in. And they're bodyweight too, so I can do them on the track.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I also looked at the Daily 16 and found two things that don't use arms... and this Crossfitter recommended pistols, scissor lunges and calf raises between sprints.
Today I did 50/40/30/20/10 tuck jumps (as close to tuck jumps as I could get 'em) and situps. 9:49Comment

I have badly fallen off the workout wagon in the last two weeks. I've done a little of this and and little of that and nothing nearly approaching my goals.
I'm gonna go put on my fat-pants now and see how they fit.
