Wolverine Cycle!!
Ah ha, not the Wolverine you were thinking?
But just as intense!
With the ending of the last Cycle and the beginning of this one I was able to rest reset and enjoy the Holiday weekend. It was nice weather so I did get out on my bike for some cross training. I'll have to take you along next time I go on one of those rides.
Last Monday April 1st marked the start of this Cycle and it was no joke! So its 6 different Clubbell exercises with the Tabata protocol. Yeah that's 8 rounds each. I had forgotten how tough this cycle is. FUN an GAMES are over. Its down to business for this one. It just seemed I really had to dig to get through it.
Tuesday it became clear as to why Mondays workout was maybe a little harder than it should have been. The day started with gut rot.... So for me the issue is, I can't tell if its some kind of bug or Gluten contamination. Kinda went through the day feeling kinda tired so after work it was time to do a run for about 8 to 10k but it was all I could do to complete 5. the bottom fell out.
That evening I knew things weren't good, no apatite and energy levels were 0. But by Wednesday my stomach felt better, still a bit tired but seemed ok.. So right or wrong, after work I completed workout 2 hi intensity day. It felt good it was tough, left some of myself on the mats but happy to finish strong.
Well strong except maybe on one exercise....... Rear Lunge Flag Driver!!!! By far the hardest clubbell exercise out there, well in my opinion anyway. When I first went through this program I only had a pair of 20s and couldn't even do that exercise but now I have 15s and can make it , not pretty but I'll get there.. I will shoot some video and you will see, But by far the coolest exercise is Call To Lightning! Its a Clean, but using a clubbell.
Here's a great example of the great tutorials by Shane Hines and you will see why this my be a tough one, just watched it again a got more out of it, it funny when you think you got an exercise down but your only just starting to get it. Check out this link below.
This is a photo taken last weekend, the weather was great and it was nice to get outside and enjoy it. This weekend I put in 32k on my own, no big race just me and my thoughts. I will take you along for fun. I could meet up with different running groups in my town and its great I'm always welcome but sometimes its hard because they may be starting later or doing a distance that I'm not. When I'm out for over 3 hours I like to start early and get home to the family. I find it a great experience on my own sometimes, well a lot of the times.
Untill next week take care and feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments below or on Wreck Centre Fitness Facebook page.
Cheers, Scott Buredn.
