I HATE MY GYM BOSS!!!!

There are days when you know you want to train heavy. Then there are days like today, when I have to tell myself not to. The reason is simple your body needs change and so does your mind. So today was a fast and furious session. These are the days when I hate this little timer called the Gym Boss. It's a dual interval timer that will run on auto until the batteries die or you shut it off. I set a work interval at 40 seconds and a rest interval at 20 seconds. This seem to work well for me. Each round = 60 seconds and you can blast out a session in 10 to 20 minutes. Let me tell you today was a killer.

Here is the circuit that a buddy and I did four times in a row.
24kg get up sit up
double 24kg in the rack walking lunges
24kg swings
squat thrust jump into pull up

That's it 16 minutes. I had a little dry heave on my last set of rack lunges, but all was well.

I bought myself a Gym Boss because of your blog. Yeah, it's an unforgiving little fucker, and I haven't really broken it in yet.

I got two more: one for my wife, and one for my sifu.

It's a love/hate thing with the Gym Boss. When I got I thought, "How did I ever live without this thing!"

Now, not so much.

Doug, I'm very simlar to you in that I like to get in and get out, a 30 minute training session tops, 15-18 for conditioning seem to be the sweet spot for me.

I have to get one of those it seems although I am NOT like you guys, I tend to want to live in the gym and go slow. too many years of gymnastics and powerlifting where you rest alot between sets.

Haven't had the dry heave in a long, long, time. Guess I'm not getting the Gym Boss.
