I regret to inform people who are coming to these workouts that I got sick this weekend, and thus fell behind in my work and feel quite awful everywhere... Therefore I will not lead anyworkout tommorow Tuesday Jan 26th, but I challenge others who have come to any of the others to step up and say "lets do things that hurt our legs, because it makes us awesome." If you do want to lead just remember Adam's golden rules of exercise. "Dieing is bad" and "Breathing helps you not die." Besides that its all good.

I'll be better for Friday, and if not I'll post again. Sorry everybody.

I may come and do round one at 6:30. Anyone still interested? If there is some interest I can step up and lead the exercises. (you should definitely expect a little bit of the slapping game)

So my being sick turns out to be much more serious... acute pancreatitis, I therefore cannot have fatty foods or workout (at all ever) for the next 3 to 4 weeks. I will continue to come to the plyoworkouts and lead coach style so that others may be more awesome while I wither away.

I will be there on Friday and promise that the workouts will have specific goals and carefully laid time frames since I won't be able to gauge the intensity by my own legs.

Hope people come.

I'm taking requests for workout style on Tuesday Feb 2nd. I need an infusion of new ideas for the training process.

A sad scheduling anouncement. Friday Feb 12th is going to be a 9:30 - 10:30 pm "angry" workout. That is, I'll be in a bad mood after taking a three hour statistical thermodynamics midterm and we will be fitting 3 hours of plyo into about 55 minutes. Its not good to do regularly, but like a 185 km ride, you've got to do one every now and then.

I will be back to top form by then, (getting doctor permission in 45 minutes). Be ready to bang.

Adam.

P.S. I'm not in a bad mood for tonight so keep smiling. Smile

Hey everybody, I just got the internet working, There will be no Plyo until March 2. There will be none on March 5th since we will be on our way to Rutgers. The next will be March 9th.

Recap:

February 23 - NO
February 26 - NO
March 2nd - YES
March 5th - NO
March 9th - YES

I am adjusting the calendar now. Please don't be sad, you can still workout on your own.

Sorry but my cell phone is still from Idaho with a contract type thing and would be expensive for everybody invovled.

I am at the gym right now. I apparently did not correct the calendar properly, I meant for there to be a workout today (march 12th) So I'm going to keeep at it myself. This weekend I'm going to look over what I need to do in terms of work and training for the three weekends of racing and post a new schedule, here and on the calendar.

Hope everybody is switching over to more bike work as I am. We want to represent as well as we did at Rutgers a month from now.

Hoorah.

So here it is. There will be one session of plyo every week on Friday.

March 19,
March 26,
April 2,

From 7 pm to 9 pm. Everybody who has been coming has realized that we are all about the same level of fitness now and have been pretty much running a single workout that lasts about 2 hours. If you have never come before, its never too late, and I'll always make sure you feel comfortable with the excercises and intensity.

Bonus: There will be freight train style upper body from 6 until 7 before each of these workouts.

Thanks

Boush

I am very sorry to all of the people who want to get big. There is the movie premiere that I am bouncing at tonight. I will be showing up for a few moments to explain the workout, I'm very sorry. Here it is:

warmup
7 minute death sets x ? (however you all feel)
big box jumps, long rest, as high as possible, keep raising the height and max it out
pyramid the leg press.

Very sorry about that folks. Wish I understood calendars better.
