So me and Bump talk about zombies sometimes and how all this training at RFM will come in handy one day should the undead walk the streets.
Today I was looking for material to write about on the blog and Googled "zombie cardio" just for fun. There's some guys practicing parkour around Chicago. Pretty cool, check out the video: http://zombiefit.org/category/media/
If you think about it parkour would come in pretty handy if you came across some zombies. You could scale a wall in seconds and flip over any obstacle. Of course some of that stuff looks pretty crazy, I think I'm going to stick to RFM for now.
BUT . . . I did find a website about a ZOMBIE OBSTACLE RACE. Righteous. If you go to the webpage there's a video you can watch if you click the link under the title: http://runforyourlives.com/locations/south-temecula-ca/courseobstacles-san-diego-ca/
Sweet. But I digress. On to the workout.
Today was the perfect example of how a simple looking workout can really mess you up.
Deadlifts for strength then three rounds of 10 pistol squats and 15 toes to the bar.
First off, deadlifts. I did five reps of 305 today. Felt pretty strong but it wasn't easy.
Then the WOD. Oh man I knew I was in trouble, mostly because I can't do pistol squats.
Once upon a time I could do 10 on each leg, BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL. Now I can't even bend past my knee before I end up flat on my ass. So I gotta grab something to help me go down and get back up.
But the toes to bar ended up being worse. Yeah.
Anyway, the first round of pistol squats suck, but I manage to do the toes to bar unbroken. Then the second round of PS really sucks and then for some reason when I try to do the T to B's my hip flexor muscles are WASTED. I can barely get my legs up.
By the third round I'm doing one toe to bar then having to rest. My grip is shot and I have NO muscles left in my legs to get them up.
I finish last. Dead last. My forearms hurt and my legs were wobbly. If the zombies attacked right there and then I would only be able to hobble to the Korean bar down the street just so I could have one last beer before I am eaten alive by the undead.
Anyway, typing makes me tired right now. Time to get some rest.
Later peeps,
Rod
