Back to Nature’s Garage Gym

It’s only mid-March, but Aspen is experiencing an early spring, so it’s back to Nature’s Garage Gym for me! I was NOT feeling working out today, with an intense sunburn from Miami, but I did it anyway (it was the Hap for the day, and how can I not do that?) I ran down the Rio [...]

“I just have a few more pushups to do”

I love the gym so much. Last night, I’m doing a barbell complex over on the Olympic rack when this happens: “Oh hey, what’s up?” I don’t look over, unsure if he’s talking to me, sure I don’t want to talk to him. “Yeah, man, I’m just at the gym. Lifting some weights. Heavy weights.” [...]

Russian Baby Makers

At least half of the reason I go to yoga is to do hip stretches (and work out the IT Band kinks). If I don’t have time to yoga, I will almost always do bound side angle, dragon, and pigeon after working out to keep myself limber (occasionally, if no one is around, and it’s [...]

Compliment or Insult: Bar Edition

Today, let’s take Compliment or Insult outside of the fabled Aspen Club gym and into a little basement bar we like to call Escobar. It’s where Brooke Mueller got arrested with like five ounces of cocaine “for her friends.” It’s a Tuesday night, and Nappy Roots has sold out Belly Up with $15 tickets. I am [...]

Welcome to this edition of my very favorite gym game, Compliment or Insult. Scene: Aspen Club Strength Workout: 3-3-3 Deadlift, with the 3rd lift at 245# Man: staring at me from the cardio deck above the weightroom floor. Possibly from a treadmill. Burn Workout: 5 Rounds: 5 DL @ 115# / 10 pushups Man: “Where’s [...]

It’s tough to leave this …

++= AMRAP 20 mins 7 HSPU (sub decline pushups) & 12 L-Pullup (regular pullup). … but I’m in Austin for the week! YAY!

I <3 Red Black Gym

Y’all know I like my workouts to look like play … Nature’s Garage Gym was my own personal playground, and then I did workouts on an actual playground. Well today I got to return to my roots at the Red Black Gym (nee SicFit) with the 1:15pm class with Big Mike. LOVED IT! Warmup: lots of [...]

HCG Diet Day 7

Technically, this is the 5th day of the diet part of the HCG Diet. The first 2 are loading, and the more I don’t eat now the more I wish I had eaten then … an oreo brownie? a BeauJo’s veggie pizza? Chocolove chocolate bars are on sale? Man I could have eaten all that [...]

Here’s My Ankle

Because I love injury photos … Bruises look so nice a few days after whatever happened, huh? I’m really mobile on the ankle, went for an hour and a half walk yesterday and felt great. Woke up sore this morning in the ankle, but nothing a little MSM and ibuprofen can’t handle. Laying off the [...]
