Welcome

a space where I will rant about: baseball, fitness training, MMA, comic books, video games, philosophy, politics, society, and general assclownery.
NOTE: I annotate all my lifting as weight x reps x sets, so 200x3x5 would be 200lbs done for three repetitions for five sets.

This Is Sparta!!!



So I did the 300 workout tonight.

300
  • 25 Pullups
  • 50 Deadlifts @ 135lbs
  • 50 Pushups
  • 50 Box Jumps @ 24"
  • 50 Floor Wipers (left + right = 1 rep)
  • 50 Clean & Press @ 35lb Kettlebell
  • 25 Pullups

It wasn't quite as bad as I thought. The floor wipers were probably the worst part, keeping 135 locked out is fucking brutal at that point. I finished it in 17:18 which seemed like a decent time.

Here's some dude from Men's Health demoing the excercises.

Baseball Prospectus 08

Just got this year's Statgeek bible. As every year about this time, I will be on literary lockdown while I devour this. I will admit to being a bit pissed to see Clay Bucholtz on the cover with the caption "Better than Joba." Everyone is entitled to their opinion but no way is that laptop stealing piece of shit better than Joba.
