Wipeout 2.22.12 Re-Cap (Test Results)

The turnout was light, but the test results were great! Everyone showed a marked improvement, either in the number of reps done, or the increase in difficulty of a certain exercise. While I was expecting to see an improvement, I was still impressed with the results. Nice job everyone. This proves that we are all getting stronger. The Wipeout is working. Keep it up.

We added a new member last night, Kyle Guinn, and introduced him to our workout on a perfect night. Kyle is a member of the KCBC Racing team, and rides with myself, Tyler, Laura, Adam, Dan S., and David. He is a very strong cyclist, and will become even stronger with this additional training. He came in cold, did the test, and set himself a baseline to work from. Welcome Kyle.

Here are the new Test Results:

After the Fitness Test, we opened the floor to requests, and let it become very informal.

I demonstrated a few new exercises using fitness balls. Kirk and Dan T. demonstrated a fitness ball/kettlebell workout. Jennifer showed us one of her favorites on the fitness ball, and Alex through out yet another killer ab exercise on the ball. It seems like everyone loves the ball. I think we should use it a bit more often.

Kirk brought the weights and bar down from his office, and the guys were drawn to it like moths to a light. We all tried to do thrusters, cleans, straight arm overhead squats. We wanted to see what it would be like to do the "Fran" workout. Holy Moly! We're not there yet, but give it time.

We did a few rope climbs, messed around on the pegboard, Kirk did a muscle-up, etc. It was kind of nice to just play with a few things after putting out a good hard effort in the Fitness Test. But don't get used to it. Next week, it's back to usual.
