Motivation and “Cindy”
Today will be short and sweet, just two quick things for you.
The following video clip is mandatory. If you don’t watch it now you’ll likely suffer through a sluggish and unmotivated weekend.
Refer back any time you’re ready to kick some a## and need a little extra juice.
Pretty good huh?
For my last deload session of the week I ventured in to the world of crossfit and knocked out cindy. For those that aren’t familiar with this one, it’s pretty simple.
5 pullups
10 pushup
15 squats
Set your gymboss timer for 20 minutes and complete as many rounds as possible.
I completed 19 rds. I had hope to knock out at least 21 so I certainly will be aiming for more the next time I knock out “cindy!”
That’s it for the deload week. I did two strength sessions and two conditioning sessions.
It’s only Friday and I’m chomping at the bit for Sunday’s session.
As the Wild Gorillaman told me: “If you’re getting itchy to train, you know the deload is working!”


What’s goin on champ? Have you tried Fran yet?
21, 15, 9 reps of thrusters @95# and pull-ups.
Next time try “Mary”
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Handstand Push-ups
10 One legged squats, alternating
15 Pull-ups
Last Friday we did 4, 3 minute circuits of:
As many reps of pistols, sets of 5 unbroken chest to bar pull-ups, handstand push-ups and regular push-ups as you could do in the 3 minute period.
It was a good workout – I got 70 pistols, 40 CTB pull-ups, 30 HSPU’s and 86 reg push-ups. Good stuff!
Good s**t Matt. I will have to give that a shot!
