Today I heard some good news. Kehau, the female workout machine at Raw Fitness Maui, said when she first started working out she couldn't even do a pushup. Now she cranks out dips on the rings. What rings? Those gymnastics rings that you see in the olympics. Yes, that's right folks, at RFM they want you do do ring dips. They ain't easy.
Except Kehau manages to crank out sets of 15, 12 and 9. The whole workout was dumbbell hang cleans, knees to elbows and ring dips for 15, 12 and 9 reps and I think I did mine in 9 minutes. Probably more and not less. But I didn't do the ring dips, in fact nobody did ring dips except for Kehau. I don't want to make excuses but I think I'd be able to stabilize myself if I hadn't had that pec tear earlier this year. But I can still crank out regular dips so at least there's that.
And yes I wore underwear today. Or as Kristi asked, "Are you in uniform today Rod?" Yes, don't be afraid, the children will not go blind.
So I got this week and then it's the start of the Paleo diet on November 1st. Thirty days of natural foods and no processed stuff like sugar and pasta and all that. The tough part is going to be no dairy. I loves me some ice cream. And beer. Damn it. But it'll be nice to see the muscles under my gut again. I might even have the nerve to post some shirtless pics. Gotta bring the sexy back you know.
By the way, I apologize if some of you just threw up in your mouth after reading that last line. I know I did. But I do plan on going through with this 30 day Paleo diet. But first let's get through this week.
