Simo - The Red Shoe Diaries (Part 1)

Damn solid effort in fighting for that bench rep. And the depth on that squat looked good to me

Great stuff, Simo! Hell of a fight on the bench and very good results on the squat and deadlift!

Heading off for a week of relaxation with the wife and kids in a couple of days. When I get back it’s time to get into transformation mode and get this body moving. Going to add in some weighted walking a few mornings a week and will also add a boxing heavy bag session and eventually another met con / WOD / barbel complex session.
Looking for some ideas on good short sharp sessions so feel free to chime in

Every day during my “athletic” phase last year, id do a 30 min fasted walk, followed by whatever wod they put up on CrossFitWOD on instagram

If you like the same consistent thing, my go too workout is
1×pull up
2xpush up
3x mountain climber
4xpower cleans
5xbear complexes (power clean/push press/squat varition)
5xpull ups
4xpush ups
3xmountain climbers
2xpower clean
1xbear complex

As many rounds as you can until time limit, rest invertals are 60 secs

I love the barbell stuff like the Bear Complex but I can’t do them anymore with my hip. Front squats are out. However, one of my favorites was EMOM of 2 hang cleans, 2 front squats, 2 push presses. Here’s a shot of me doing them in April of 17 before all of my hip problems really surfaced.

Once you’re close to being a bad ass, look up Macho Man and Hulk Hogan :wink:

sounds like a plan… On occasion I like kettle swings for condition work.

look up cross fit wods:
Jack: push press x 10, KB swing x 10, box jump x 10
Cindy: pull up x 5, push up x10, squat x 15
some emom stuff: even minutes: pull ups x max, uneven: 10 burpees
Chin up x 5, DB press x 5, burpee x 5

do any of the above as a finisher for 10 minutes and you’re toast

Sorry I should of mentioned that. I usually explain it like that to people who arnt versed in it so they dont wimper out.
Get them to come with me to a CF box and they see how its done, by then its usually too late to back out :grin::joy:
