At Fogo de Chão, the servers keep giving you food until you say stop. And then when you’re ready to eat again, you ask for more and they bring you more until you say stop. And that can go on forever for $50. No lie. You keep eating until you feel like you’re going to throw up.

Fogo de Chão Reservations

This workout keeps going until you say stop. You can try to do this all at once but I recommend a break in between. Either way you will probably feel like you’re going to throw up.

10 Example of How to Ruin a Picture

My safe-for-work favorite:

 
It’s subtle.

“HOW TO RUIN A WORKOUT”

Run 1 mile
Two minutes of each:
Row
30 pound Dumbbell thrusters
20 pound Medicine ball cleans
Double-unders (demos)
Pull-ups

• Post total time and total reps plus calories (from row)

• The clock runs continuously for the ten minutes after the run.

MY TOTAL: 107

I call this how to ruin a workout because of the double unders.  I was using a piece of shhhh jump rope.  This thing was made out of yarn from an old afghan.  (No not an old Afghan.)  The best jump ropes have some good weight to them where you can whip them around.  Probably the best you’re going to find is (no lie) the ones with the plastic beads on them.  They’re heavy and FAST.  Stay away from rope with these Nike handles.

I’m not feeling very creative tonight.

FOR TIME

TIME: 34:33

Compare to April 15.

Only a little better than last time, but something is wrong with my shoulder and my bicep was over-compensating and then my elbow isn’t feeling right.  Not good, holmes.

I did jumping pull ups for 40-70.  Last 30 were real deal.  But see above.

From Crossfit.com

S01 (SEAL) Jason Dale Lewis was killed by an IED while conducting combat operations in Southern Baghdad July 6, 2007. We name this workout “Jason” in honor of his life, family, and courage. Donna, Jack, Max, and Grace, we’ll forget neither your husband and father nor your sacrifice and loss. Fair winds, Jason.

“Crazy 8’s”
8 Reps – Bent-over Row
8 Reps – Squat
8 Reps – Shoulder Press
8 Reps – Sumo Deadlift
8 Reps – Thrusters
8 Reps – Lunges (8 each leg)
8 Reps – Good mornings

DO FIVE ROUNDS (1 min rest between rounds)

(So this video is some kid walking around.  And that’s it.  And the point is that his sneakers are untied.  Is this what the internets were built for??? Weird.  Anyways, I used to have these in like 8th grade and they were dustmongers.  It was like I was wiping them off every 15 seconds cuz they were so slippery in the gym.  Bad times.  But generally some comfortable kicks. I’m rambling.)

RECAP: I did first 2 rounds with 65lb, then the final 3 with 75lb. I will try to get up to 95lbs on the next time around (which isn’t for a while, I hope!!). I am mad sore today in my shoulders and my hamstrings.

(if you’re not sure on any of these, check out my demo page)

“Michael”

Three rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
50 Back Extensions
50 Sit-ups

In honor of Navy Lieutenant Michael McGreevy, 30, of Portville, NY, who was killed in Afghanistan June 28.

With heavy hearts we offer our prayers and condolences to his wife, Laura, and 14-month-old daughter, Molly.

The price of freedom, and its worth, is found in Michael’s passing. The debt owed to Michael and his family can never be repaid but only honored by remembering Michael and remaining free.
