The power of positive thinking?

Positive thinking is it the way or a load? To me it's a load. Don't get me wrong some positive thinking is needed in order to survive, but to rely on it that is another story. Everybody tells you be positive and good things will come, so then if I am negative all I get are bad things? Is that how life really works? I guess for some fools, for me it's a little positive thinking mixed with a whole lot of hard work. I can sit and positively think all day long that I am going to be a millionaire, but that doesn't make it happen. Hard work that’s right HARD WORK!!! That's how it’s going to happen. Some of those so called positive thinkers I have met in my life are the worst people I have ever known. So don't get sucked into that just be positive that you can do anything, and try a little hard work you might just be amazed at what the results are.

Now on with the gym process. It has slowed down a little in the amount of work that has been put towards it. That is because of school and conflicting schedules with the others. Still hitting the weights though. Here is another workout for you to try:

20 kettlebell snatches left arm
10 pull-ups
20 kettlebell snatches right arm
10 pull-ups
20 kettlebell high pulls left arm
15 pushups
20 kettlebell high pulls right arm
15 pushups
20 kettlebell clean and press left arm
20 sit-ups
20 kettlebell clean and press right arm
20 sit-ups
20 kettlebells swings left arm
25 pull aparts
20 kettlebell swings right arm
25 pull aparts

If you don't know what pull aparts are go to youtube type in BANDED PULL APARTS you will see a user named kroc001 check out his video on how it is done.

Way to fast

Life right now seems to be going way to fast. It's a blessing and a curse. Sometimes you just have to hit the brakes, step back, take a breath and assess the situations in your life. Take the time smell the roses, smile and try to enjoy the ones you care for. Weed out those that are toxic and get yourself into better situations. Life's to short they say. Work hard, play hard and workout even harder.

Got some more kettlebells for myself the other day. So a friend and myself decided to take a workout to the park. We used a 35# KB and a 44# KB. the other piece of equipment we used was called a T-handle. Here is a link for it:

We used the T-handle for the heavy swings and the kettlebells for the rest.

10 Heavy swings
10 Snatches 5 ea. arm
10 Heavy swings
10 Cleans 5 ea. arm
10 Heavy swings
10 High pulls 5 ea. arm
10 Heavy swings
10 Shoulder presses 5 ea. arm
10 Heavy swings
10 Swings 10 ea. arm
10 Heavy swings
Do workout in a circuit style. Do circuit 3-5 times. 2-3 min break between rounds. Finish with 10 100 yard sprints.
Till next time.

Last night's workout

Went to the gym last night had a limited amount of time so I decided to blow out a quick workout. So here it is:

8 BALL

8 exercises, 8 reps, 8 rounds, 2 min rest between rounds on the first 3, 2:30 rest for the remaining

Start with the bar(45lb olympic bar) 2 rounds with that, add 5lbs 2 rounds with that, add 5 more lbs 2 rounds with that, then strip off one of the 5 lbs do one round with that, then strip off the remaining 5 lbs & do the last set with just the bar.

Do all exercises back to back until you've finished the chest press . That is 1 round.

Dead lifts

Bent over rows

Cleans

Shoulder presses

Good mornings

Overhead squats

Snatches

Chest presses (on a bench)

Time yourself as well see if you can beat that time on the 2nd round with that weight

Remember it's not heavy your just not strong enough

Another day another dollar

Well another day is here. What have you done to make it a better one? Everyone has a motivator, a reason if you will to do something, change something. Stand up, take a look around, find what you need to do, focus, find your reasons and drive that all the way to the bank. You can sit and complain or you can change your life and make it a better one. Choice is yours.

It's a little slow on the process of getting the gym started but that's fine I don't want alot of mistakes made as I have witnessed with other gyms starting up. I am also involved with helping someone else set up their gym too. Will keep you posted on the progress of that one as well. Till then ............

Getting the medicine ball rolling

Today was a good start at getting the gym going. Met up with Brian who was selling kettlebells at $1.09 a #. We ended up picking up a set from 26#s to 97#s. Also I found some place local that we can buy chains and ropes as well. My workout today is probably going to be as follows:

1) BB snatches 5 reps x5 sets
2a) 1 arm DB chest press on a decline bench 15 reps x 4 sets
2b) BB bent over rows 15 reps x 4 sets
3a) Grappler press 8 reps x 3 sets
3b) Push ups 12 reps x 3 sets
3c) Pullups 8 reps X 3 sets
Finish with some sprints or sled

Remember its not heavy your just not strong enough.
