Navy Seal Workout.

by Harry on June 24, 2009

in Workout Logs, Workouts

The Navy Seal workout is a great full body workout broken down into:

* Warm up
* Pull Exercises
* Push Exercises
* Abdominals
* Legs

For the pull exercise you need a pull up bar and somewhere to do dips, I have a doorway pull up bar and used a chair for the dips.

The warm up starts with 4 count jumping jacks for a count of 40 then into half jumping jacks for a count of 40. Next up is windmills then 2 count windmills. Next is trunk side stretch.

The warm up is followed by the pull session, these include wide and close grip pull-ups, these are done in sets of 3, followed by wide grip pull ups. 30 seconds pause between sets, keeping good form. Next up is close grip chins followed by behind the neck pull-ups 30 seconds pause between sets, keeping good form. Then its into regular grip pull ups again sets of 3. These are followed by close grip pull ups.

The push exercises are next with dips up first, if you don’t have any dip bars use a chair. First set is 12 dips. 1 minute rest, second set is 10, third set is 15 and the Seals are left hanging for as long as possible… ouch.
Then we are into push-ups. Regular push-ups for a count of 10, followed by another set of 10. Next up is Tricep push-ups three sets of 10, these are my favorite push-ups, followed by 10 regular push-ups. Next is Tricep push-ups again for a count of 10. Next its 10 wide grip push-ups followed by another 10 regular push-ups and 10 more Tricep push-ups. Dive bomber push-ups are next for a count of 10.

Abdominal exercises are next starting with 50 sit-ups followed by 50 cross arm sit-ups. Next its flutter kicks for a count of 50 then its 50 half sit-ups followed by 50 cruncher sit-ups then 10 lizard stretches followed by 50 atomic crunches, these are my favorite new abs exercise. These are followed by 50 good mornings. Next up are 50 neck rotations these are four count. Followed by 100 neck lifts.

The legs are next. First up is alternating leg lunges for a count of 30. Next is 100 squats followed by 50 charlie chaplins and another set of 100 squats . This concludes the navy seal workout. This was my workout for 24th June.

Fight Club.

by Harry on June 24, 2009

in Wasteland

I’ve long been a fan of combat sports so have added a new category where I’ll post my favorite boxing, wrestling and MMA videos. I’m also a fan of the book and movie Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk so have decided to call this category Fight Club. Below are a few of my favorite quotes from the movie.

Rules of Fight Club

1. You do not talk about ‘Fight Club’.
2. You do not talk about ‘Fight Club’.
3. When someone yells “Stop” or goes limp, or taps out, the fight is over.
4. Only two guys to a fight.
5. One fight at a time.
6. No shirts, no shoes.
7. Fights go on as long as they have to.
8. If this is your first night at ‘Fight Club’, you have to fight.

“Our generation has had no Great Depression, no Great War. Our war is spiritual. Our depression is our lives.”

“You are not your job.

“You are not how much you have in the bank. You are not the contents of your wallet.You are not your fucking Khakis.You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.”

“This is your life and it’s ending one minute at a time.”

“Tyler, you are by far the most interesting single-serving friend I’ve ever met. I have this thing, everything you get on a plane is single-serving…”

“It’s only after you’ve lost everything that you’re free to do anything.”

“With insomnia, you’re never really asleep; you’re never really awake.”

“That old saying, how you always hurt the one you love, well, it works both ways.”

“We are defined by the choices we make.”

“The things you own end up owning you.”

“How much can you know about yourself if you’ve never been in a fight?”

“We were raised on television to believe that we’d all be millionaires, movie gods, rock stars, but we won’t. And we’re starting to figure that out.”

“You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.”

“The condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip it on, you dance the night away with a stranger, and then you throw it away – the condom, that is, not the stranger.”

“Like everyone else, I had become a slave to the IKEA nesting instinct. If I saw something like clever coffee table sin the shape of a yin and yang, I had to have it. I would flip through catalogs and wonder, “What kind of dining set defines me as a person?” We used to read pornography. Now it was the Horchow Collection. I had it all. Even the glass dishes with tiny bubbles and imperfections, proof they were crafted by the honest, simple, hard-working indigenous peoples of wherever.”

“And then… something happened. I let go. Lost in oblivion — dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.”

“I wanted to destroy something beautiful.”

“Every evening I died and every evening I was born again. Resurrected.”

“On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.”

“I wanted to put a bullet between the eyes of every panda that wouldn’t screw to save its species.”

“If you wake up at a different time and in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?”

“After fighting, everything else in your life has got the volume turned down.”

I hope you enjoy this collection of Fight Club quotes. If you have a quote you’d like to share, please add it in the comment section so I can update this post.
