| Getting ready for my Silverback Test!!:) haha |
Man today was a great busy day! Meetings this morning, classes, privates, workout, more meetings and more classes!! Whew! Over the weekend i was in San Fran and ran into a cool young trainer named Charlie who is a solid trainer who lives in SF. Actually got something cool from his blog that i wanted to share with you all as well.
When in SF it was really really awesome to see my dad in action at the show..he's been doing these fitness shows since 1973 and he's basically a legend at the shows:) he was having a blast, walking all over the place and working out the whole time...it was great! He loves doing the shows and feeling the love folks have for him....and he's still a bad bad man!! Can easily rattle off 10 chin ups no problem!
QUESTION OF THE DAY: What inspires YOU to follow something or someone?
Is it a YouTube of something that you want...like being yoked? (if you dont know what yoked is, being Yoked is a 1990's term for someone who is in crazy great shape....dang:) haha
Is it the facts of some studies done?
Or is it a testimonial done?
A Look? A Feat? A Fact? A Quote? which is it and why?
MBG 1 restoration - did some Eischens Yoga in class today as usual:)
MBG 2 training adventure - here is where i will share with you something someone shared with me that i thought is sort of fun and challenging. My friend Charlie on his blog somehow found out what the entrance test to get into the Barbarians club to train with them and it's sort of cool:) So i did it today, but one thing it is for sure missing is the legs stuff...so i am adding some i think would be a good challenge for you all out there...these are our MBG Silverback challenges for all our MBG trainers and power level students.
First the "Barbarians Test" do the following as fast as possible under 6:00
- 5 Muscle ups
- 45 Dips
- 25 Pull ups
- 55 Push ups
- 5 Muscle ups
It was a good challenge and i did it in 5:58...the muscle ups at the end almost ruined me:) haha as i was done with the first 4 exercises in 4:20 then missed on 7 of 12 muscle ups in the last 1:38 haha...but, i got it!!!
Now for the second part, you can try this one on another day and see how you do.
This is the MBG Silverback Challenge part II
- 100 Jump Rope doubles in a row without missing
- Vertical Jump - 30" plus over reach for men, 24" plus for women
- Broad Jump - 30" plus over height for men, 24" plus for women
- 100 yard Power Wheel crawl without stopping
These are really a great test of conditioning, power and core strength...if you think i should add something give me a holler on it....right now this and the above give great advantage to the smaller guys...so a part of me wants to do something like 40k's deadlift for 40 reps (28k's for women) in a row....that might even the field a bit:) haha
MBG 3 plant based eating! Great strong meals today...excellent and super strong!!
- Maca cafe'
- soy yogurt, almonds, banana, dates, raw protein
- apple juice, raw protein (after workout)
- kale, spinach, bean curd, brown rice, vegetables
- banana, chorella green drink
- kale, garlic, quinoa, lentils
- spice tea
Good day, feeling pretty good after the trip and everyone at the mbg was great today! Had great meetings and everyone is pumped and excited about what we're doing!!:)
peace my friends!
