So, here's a couple of updates.
I think I can handle front squats now.
We were doing them the other day and of course my wrists hurt like a mutha. But then Bumper showed me how I needed to shove that bar so close to my neck that I was almost choking and damn, if that wasn't like 100 times better.
I ended up doing 205 lbs for one rep. Considering my back squat is about 265 lbs for my one rep max I think that's pretty good.
Oh, but then today I regretted going heavy on the front squats. For today was the Filthy 50.
Not sure I can remember it all but it went something like this: 50 box jumps, 50 jumping pullups, 50 lungs, 50 knees to elbows, 50 of this 50 of that and on and on.
The end result was several times during the workout I laid down and wanted to stop moving. But then the clock kept ticking and you get up and keep trying.
Oh man. I'm beat. I need 2 days of rest I think. Maybe I'll go back to the gym on Saturday instead of Friday.
But before I go I leave you with my latest radio script for the RFM ad that will be played on Wild 105.5 FM.
The station manager is a friend (and employee of mine at the County) and is giving Bumper and Kristi some radio commercials in exchange for a membership. I wrote a mockup of what I think the first commercial should be, here it is starring Kristi and Kehau, aka Tehau:
KRISTI: "Hi I'm Kristi and I'd like to invite you to a free workout at Maui's premiere Crossfit gym, Raw Fitness Maui!"
KRISTI: "We just moved into our new location in the Wailuku industrial area and have more room than ever before for new members, so come on down!"
KRISTI: "Our trainers include myself, Robert Bumper Kikuchi and Tehau, Maui's strongest woman! Say hi Tehau!"
TEHAU: "CHEEEEEEEEEEEHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
KRISTI: "That's right, come down and sign up today and Tehau will push your car into the parking lot for free, no sweat!"
KRISTI: "That's Raw Fitness Maui, right next to Sack and Save and a shitload of Korean Bars. See you there! Aurite."
I know, I'm a genius. Thankyewverymuch.
