Winter Storm Workouts and Reading

This weekend, I was stuck at home due to an impending ice storm and blizzard that hit us on Christmas and is lingering a bit today yet.  I didn't travel anywhere for it, so I had ample time to relax, watch some TV shows I've been meaning to watch on Netflix, and also workout a bit.

I took Saturday off as a recovery day, I actually had 14 straight days of workouts and my body needed it.

Sunday I ended up doing a 19 minute HWR workout in the evening, adding some dumbbells on some exercises to add a bit extra to the routine.

This morning's routine was out in the driveway to start, shoveling for about 15 minutes or so to get rid of the first batch.  The wind is still blowing things around and I'll probably have to shovel again, just not so much this next time.

After the shoveling, I ended up doing a kettlebell clean workout of 10 per side, 20 in a set, every 90 seconds on the way up to 15 minutes.  10 sets of that equals 200 cleans total with the 53# kettlebell.

I also got some new reading material that is some pretty classic stuff.

They are two books by Reg Park, a famous bodybuilder and actor from the 50's and 60's.

The origins of the "5x5" plan are in the "Strength & Bulk Training" book, and part of the reason I got it was for the historical perspective of it. "Training for Power" is also another compliment to this book and worth adding to my collection.

I am a history nut and books like this really intrigue me.  The roots of many current programs and programming are said to come from this author, so that alone really struck my interest.

I haven't read through both yet, but got started on the Strength & Bulk Training one on Sunday night. They are pretty short reads, so I ought to finish both today.

These were both 'mail order' guides from years ago and are still in reprints today from http://superstrengthtraining.com. This site is full of historical training guides and worth a look!

Have you considered what you'll be doing in January yet?  The 24 Day Challenge is still there to take, and ordering early this week should get it to you by the end of the week.  The free shipping offer ran out on December 20th, but you can still get a great deal and also get the free gifts too if you order this week. 

Not sure about that entire package?  Might I suggest doing this combination: a box of Spark with a box of the MNS series.  This may be more affordable for you and still allow you to get some quality products from AdvoCare to use.  The MNS packs are pretty simple to use, they even tell you when to take them.  Even 2 boxes of MNS would get you through 4 weeks of effort.

Check out all these options at http://tinyurl.com/asapadvo and be sure to ask me anything about the products if you want more assistance. 

Don't forget to join the 24 Day Challenge Group I've setup on Facebook too, it is free for everyone to do, regardless if you are taking AdvoCare products or not.

Success Starts Here!
