Med-Ball Circuit from Excel
Here it is the med-ball circuit I have been doing while training at Excel Strength with Eric Cressey. This is also up at The FitCast Insider as a High Quality Download. I was able to clock this round in at 1:15, my best time yet. Keep in mind, my form is NOT PERFECT in this video. It suffered towards the end as this was the 4th set. Here is the list of movements, do 10 reps for each. These are not the official names: Right Chest Pass Left Chest Pass Center Chest Pass Between... Read More

Training at Excel: Week 4/Workout 13
Reverse Sled Drags Make You Puke Tonight went well. Eric Cressey and I came to the conclusion that my hips need A LOT of work. My box squats sucked tonight, like really bad. Borderline pansy like. There was still more to do that night so I am not going to let that get me down. I did 275 lbs on the trap bar deadlifts for 3×8 which is nice. Then came the reverse sled drags. I got to show off a bit by adding 35 lbs more than the rest of the gang which felt good. Even Eric... Read More

Training at Excel: Week 3/Workout 10
Could You Beat Him in a Med-Ball Circuit? Last night was rougher than I thought it would be. We were doing mostly upper body with benching and rowing. Just from Eric Cressey correcting my form on the bench, my weight went up 20 lbs. And my seated cable rows went up to 180lbs for 6 reps (Up from 160 in week 1). Again I think it had to do with correct form. Then, to finish the workout was the dreaded med-ball circuit. To be honest, I really enjoy the challenge of bettering my time... Read More
Training at Excel: Week 2
I have been slacking on the blog posts, I have been kind of busy with friends coming home from school. From time to time you need to take a break, even from something I love to do like The FitCast. Back to training. This week went pretty good. Again, I seem to be learning things from Eric Cressey everyday. I am just glad he isn’t sick of all of my stupid questions. All of my weights stayed pretty constant, I did a bit more on the seated cable row. According to Eric and... Read More
Training at Excel: Days 4+5
On Saturday I trained with Tony Gentilcore at Excel. I wasn’t going to make the 40ish minute drive on Saturday, but I thought it would be great to get some info from Tony throughout the workout. It turned out that I learned a lot that morning because not only was Tony there, but Carl Valle showed up as well. He always has something on his mind, and not afraid to speak his mind of the subject. Today we did lower body again. Started with DLs. I keep cutting up my legs pretty... Read More

Training at Excel: Day 3
Day 3 is done. Just got home, grilled some chicken breast and ate a bag of green beans. I also popped a Flame Out cap. I decided to give it a shot after I had to order some more strawberry MD. Anyways, another lower body workout. Some snatch-grip rack pulls, reverse lunges, GHRs (first time doing REAL GHRs), you know, the good stuff. I feel great, sore, but great. Everyday I look forward to having Eric kick my ass. I will talk more about the environment change on this week show. My... Read More
