Floor presses and points

I did my regularly scheduled Beautiful Baddass Simple Strength 1 workout and followed up with some bodyweight stuff for Fitocracy quests :)

Yes, I never wanted to do burpees or squat thrusts again, but I guess I'll make an execption for the chance to get closer to the hub's points!  Ha!

mobility and foam rolling
arm bars, 5x20# arm bar presses
Floor Press - 8x45#, 5x70#, 9x85#, 9x90#
Diamond Push-ups - 6x6
Palms Up Inverted Row - 6x6
Then some Fitocracy point stuff:
1-arm DB row - 3x45# each side
BW squat - 15, 15
BW lunge - 10, 10
BW jump squat - 10
Burpee - 10, 15, 15, 15, 20 ,25
Push-up - 5, 5, 10 (because the diamond style push-ups didn't count for the quest, apparently!)

Squats and swings

Yesterday was a good squat workout.

Squats - 20x45#, 9x65#, 9x75#
Reverse Lunge - 6x6x65#
Hanging Knee Raise - 6x6
Plus a bunch of stuff to get points on Fitocracy.

Today, I did the 2nd workout from Mastering the Hardstyle Kettlebell Swing. Good stuff. I could follow along a little better with this one. Still not sure I like follow-along videos for kettlebells. I get annoyed when I'm not in synch with them. But, it was great to have the cues and the programming ideas.

All together I did:
230 2-handed swings with the 16kg bell
150 1-handed with the 12kg bell
90 1-handed with the 16kg bell

1-handed swings, in particular, are giving me issues with grip. I have a hard time gripping properly so as not to cause callouses. Hmmm....

I also did some silly stuff for Fitocracy quests:
BP 3x45#
Seated DB Press 10x15#ea
DB Chest Flyes 15x15#ea
DB biceps Curl 15x10#ea
Cable Face Pull 10x20#
Dance 10 minutes
