NEVER and I mean NEVER do deadlifts with Bobby the night before MM. Or at least attempt to do as much weight as him...
Woke up on Thursday with a tweak in the lower back that was enough to bench me for last night's welcome back madness. I am very upset about that as I was looking forward to seeing the crew back together this new year. UGH!
I should certainly be back next Thursday.
I few more nights sleeping on the floor should do the trick.
Man, if this Madness had really been blank, I think I'd feel a lot better now. Anyway...
1st Tabata... -ish, thing: 25 lbs, it was hard to keep up the pace, especially in the later rounds, but it wasn't too bad.
Big Crazy Shit That Happened In The Middle: Everything was at goal, with the small box for the jumps and standard pushups instead of the clap push ups. I started really well, but really got killed on the bent over rows. After that, had trouble getting back into a solid groove because of fatigue. Stamina issues aside, it felt like a good weight.
2nd Tabataish Thing: This was a joke. I think maybe I did half the work? A quarter? Anyway, gave it my best shot.
Bonus round: I don't actually remember much of this, but I just did it, didn't even bother counting. Good to work with partners and I got my second wind which really helped.
So, to sum up, good to be back, but too much slacking off over the holidays means I've lost a lot of stamina. Now I know what to work on for the next couple of weeks before this all-nighter you guys keep talking about.
Be smart. This is dangerous physical training. The evolutions (daily workouts) on this site are completed under professional and well educated supervision. This blog is intended to inspire and chart the growth of our clientele, it is not intended in any way to be a suggested workout plan for any person who is not under our direct supervision and guidance. Should you choose to do any of the evolutions or movements on this site you do so at your own risk. EFC (Extreme Fitness Concepts) is not responsible for any negative consequence you may encounter as a result of your choosing to do this intense form of physical activity.
Extreme Fitness Concepts
Extreme Fitness Concepts (EFC) is a fitness ideology that combines multiple energy systems in a short durational high intensity training session to create a superior level of balanced fitness. Psychology is a key factor in EFC training as breaking through mental plateaus is essential to complete the day’s evolution. We train minds. We train the spirit. We develop philosophies and test them daily. Through physical exhaustion we seek the higher self.
Olympic lifts, Power lifts, Kettlebell movements, Sandbag training, Bodyweight movements, and improvised object implementation.
The Evolution:
An EFC session is known as an evolution. After your session, you are not the same person that you were prior to it. Therefore, you have evolved in some way, however subtle it may be. An EFC evolution can lasts between a few minutes to an hour. It is essential that the session is treated like an event. Start with a goal and race for it. A typical evolution leads to full systemic overload. The heart of the evolution is the goal orientated completion of a task working against personal bests.
