    Thanks Brad. I did watch the video and he makes it look so easy. It's like watching a video tape of Michael Jordan and figuring you'd be able to dunk. I did notice I may be leaning back too much. My first movement was back rather than down and I think that was throwing off my balance. I was probably using the JG straps too much. I'll keep at it. Thanks again for the suggestion.

    I just did the March 12th workout and it was a ball buster, mainly because I am so weak on my pistols. Any advice from anyone?

    That does help. Thanks.

    I cannot find a video for a lateral cable jump. There is one for a lateral jump. Is that the same thing?
  • Counting
    Board >> Workouts >> 60 Day Fitness Challenge
    When counting skaters and umpas, do you count 1 after both sides or does each side get a count?

    Question for the triathletes out there. How do you work MBG workouts into your tri training and how will that develop as the season gets underway? I am new to sprint distance trialthons and would also be interested in some swim-bike-run workout plans or tips.

    Really enjoyed yesterday's 40/20 workout. Mountain Climbers were killers. Did the deck squats from memory and did them wrong. Actually did a sumersalt into the squad. People at the gym where I work out thought I was a nut, but what the hell. Not the first time won't be the last. Did my cardio before and it made for a great package.

    Does the 60-day schedule put in rest days or do we plug-in our own. Also, those of you who have been through the 60-day program, if you miss a workout day, do you pick up with the workout the next day, or go back and hit the one you missed? If the plan adds rest days and we rested a different day I would guess you go back and do the workout you missed. Any sugestion for this rookie would be appreciated.

    Thanks Matt. I have the JG strung over a steel beam in my basement and I think I did finally hang (pardon the pun) of the assisted chin-ups. I did mess with my foot placement over the TNT cable, but never felt like I was doing it quite right. In the video it looked like the guy was using a different cable system. I'll keep working with it and adapting as need be. Thanks again.

    Very helpful information. Thanks Brian.
  • First day
    Board >> Workouts >> 60 Day Fitness Challenge
    Got started with the 60-day Challenge today. Didn't feel great about it. Didn't have the proper equipment to do the cable deadlift. Wasn't sure about the muscle ups. Did chin ups on the JG from a seated squat - not sure if that was right. Pistols were tough. Was lucky to do 3 on each leg for the 5 sets. Liked the cable squats. Didn't feel the 5X5 was enough so I did 5 sets, 8 reps (except the Pistols) Did a modified cable deadlift with the bands I had, but it was not very good.

    I am concerned about setting the JG up correctly for the different excercises. Any advice would be helpful.

    I really need to take the nutrition aspect of the plan serious. I have improved my eating habits greatly over the couple years, but there is much room for improvement.

    I started doing triathlons last year (sprint distance). I condition all year round and would be curious how some folks work cardio into the 60-day challenge workouts. Before or after/alternate days?
