Punishment Game II – Crunches until I could crunch no more.

1 Comment

I let the Avenged Sevenfold single “Warmness of the Soul” play on Suzaku while I did my second punishment game on working out to failure. The full sit-ups were great but the crunches throughly wore me out. The last one I could muster before I just plain couldn’t trudge along anymore were the jack-knife sit-ups. I think the exhaustion from the crunches setting in killed me. I finally was wore the hell out. Tomorrow, I have plans for Punishment Game III and the target will be my arms and chest. My body will hate me, but when the muscle grows even larger, I don’t think they’ll mind me amping up the challenge.

70 full sit-ups, 200 crunches, 40 jack-knife sit-ups

A new day, a new stimuli! If you’re a Family Guy fan… you’ll recognize this dialog from the 6th season

Joe: “C’mon dudes let’s go exercise!”
Quentin: “EXERCISE!!!”
Joe: “YEAH!!!!!”
Parker: “I’m gonna do sit-ups until I poop myself!”

Fitness, Personal

Manual Work-Out Session: Squats to Failure

Leave a comment

With the Dallas humidity, it’s damn near driven me insane that I can’t sleep without tossing and turning. I got so bothered by the heat that even an icy cold shower didn’t do the trick. My last shot was to exhaust myself to doing squats on the pure force of gravity on myself and my own body weight. I have managed to do quite a number of them so I am rather tired… Hopefully this will spur the needed stimuli for me to break out of my plateau.

Squatting to Failure (Punishment Game) – Gravity Squat – 12 reps/set – 10 sets

2am and my quadriceps are basically begging for death… I can finally sleep now.
