2 WEEKS: A PHOTO ESSAY

Social Workout'ers, I'm sorry.  I abandoned you suddenly and without notice.  I'm sure you were worried sick.  My precious laptop died about two weeks ago.  Thus, my iPhone has been my BFF to do everything and when I get to a computer, (sorry) Social Workout hasn't been my first click.  Shoutout to Prairie whom check in on me!

Split Jerk = Cool Dance Move

Who does Split Jerk presses on a normal basis?  Not me!  In fact, I've never done one in my life...until this morning.  Turns out, they're pretty darn fun.

We warmed up doing a combination of burpee pullup (Yep, you read that right.  A burpee down to a pushup, jumping up to the bar for a pullup), situp, squat for 6 minutes.  That sure got me warmed up!

Snoozefest of a Boot Camp

"BOOT CAMP TUESDAYS!!!" Every week, I hear shrill screams around the office with girls yelling this at 5:20pm.  I never join them in their Boot Camp at the office because of two reasons:

Coach Robert x Human Potential

You wrote, we like... ~ The Eds.

Sometimes, all it takes for you to believe in yourself is having somebody else show their belief in you.  Realistically, it should all come from within, from your own voice and your own self confidence, but that little voice of encouragement and true words from another person can make a world of difference.

Rooftop Basketball

Sunday was tough for me.  I was hungover from the previous evening.  Reason?  They made me pay $20 bucks to get into the club when I was on the guest list, then the manager came and profusely apologized to me and bought me drinks on the house to make up for it.  So I switched alcohols every drink (Champagne, Vodka/Soda with lime, Rum/Coke).

Soccer Saturday in the Sun

I love Saturday afternoons, because the soccer orphans of Los Angeles have found a new court to call home.  I have officially taken over the rooftop field at our popup space in Hollywood, The Montalban.

Me and my boys played for 90 minutes of futsal in the warm Cali air, just above the Walk of Fame.

A Burpee Tried to Assasinate Me

Saturday morning in Los Angeles.  Beautiful, warm, blue, clear.  What's better than to start your weekend off with a killer workout?!

This morning's coach was Cesar, whom used to be in the military.  He's nuts.  He likes to punish us and yell at us, but also pushes us to new levels.  His yells are encouraging at the same time.

Workout

120 Pullups x 120 Dips

Woot woot, this one is going to be a certified arm killer!!!  Stumbling into the CF Hollywood gym at 6:59am, I blearily glanced at the dry erase whiteboard to see what my morning fate would be.

30 muscleups OR 120 pullups and 120 ring dips.

For the love of...

My Snatch is Great

Zing!

With the official workout being a short one, max snatch lifts, we have to fill the time another way.  So as a warm up, our coaches Andy and Robert had us get those muscles moving and blood flowing by doing a timed 1 mile run.
