My new year's resolutuion for 2011 (among other things!) is to begin updating my blog posts on a more frequent basis.
I am sure some of you are wondering what Kirk's doing now in the gym?
I am back to mostly bodyweight workouts. Honestly, I love training with bodyweight-only calithenics. Besides, they're still the standard of our beloved US Military, Hoo-Yah! I personally know a former Navy SEAL who is built like a "brick shit-house" and he uses high intensity bodyweight training exclusively. In fact, an interesting story.... A few members of his sniping team were in Bosnia during the conflict there in the late-eighties. They were cooped up for weeks in a "CIA safehouse" and had to perform ends sets and reps of bodyweight exercises to stay in tip-top shape as they were not able to leave the confines of that safe place, no running, swimming, etc. He said they did daily workouts encompassing hundreds of pushups, handstand pushups, lunges, etc. Thought you might enjoy this story. EVERYONE loves a good story involving Special Ops, especially the mighty SEALS!
Anyway, my normal resistance routine lasts 20 minutes, followed by 15-20 minutes of stationary bicycle. This is performed at least 5 days per week and I average 6 days per week.
Today's workout (Thursday, Dec 23rd):
Handstand Pushups: 8 repetitions ...immediately followed by:
Wide Grip Pullups: 8 repetitions...immediately followed by:
Hindu Squats: 50 repetitions...rest 60 seconds and repeat, a total of 4 sets!
Stationary Bike: ladder UP and then DOWN for a total of 20 minutes
