Let's see how long I can keep this one going. In two month's time, I'm scheduled to dress up like Riddick, so I have to get serious.


Here we have newly-polished (pronounced "harder") swings, the temporary omission of hang cleans (to focus on the full hip snap), and my new trick: snatches.

Yesterday there were 20X3 swings (and I felt them more than 25X4 of the ones I used to do), 2(3X10) "swing" cleans (they seem to hit the biceps more and the rhomboids less, and they're a bitch after real swings), 2(2X3) pull snatches (no need to get overzealous), 2(3X5) military presses.

Today there were 20X3 swings, 2(2X5) pull snatches, 2(3X5) military presses, and 5X12 "Bottleimp Shoulder-Sparing" pushups.

Yes, these are sissy workouts. When overcoming a slump, I take what I can get. Tomorrow will be more intense, and so forth.

Dude, I have totally no costume idea yet. :-/ And my workouts would have little to do with it, unless my costume is Sweaty Taekwondoist.

Wherefore costuming?

(you'd already make a fine Riddick)

Just stating the obvious, but nevertheless you are welcome. :-)

So, are you talking about general Halloween costuming, or something specific?

Halloween, yes.
