Just did my first Tabata interval set with tiny girly weights
« on: November 07, 2010, 08:27:30 PM »
So JNN, that asshole, got me all interested in interval training. (BTW this thread is NOT about him). Next thing I know I order the Gymboss (TM) from Amazon and it's gathering dust in the corner for like 2 weeks. Anyhoo, I decide to try it out before I head out to the liqueur store for some brewskis and maybe a flask.  ::)  

My knees are fucked so I've haven't squatted in a while but for some reason I decide to do these "cardio-stregnth" squat+dumbbell overhead presses with tiny 20lb dumbbells.

The first two 20 second sets seem real easy but at some point over the next minute I hit the wall. Next thing I know I've dumped the weights and I'm just doing body weight squats. I'm making strangling sounds, and my arms are flailing around like a fucking octopus. The last set seems like a 20 rep squat set.  ::)

So I drive to the liqueur store and I'm staggering around inside like a fucking drunkard.  ;D  Seriously. I have trouble walking, and since I've had my weekend 1/3 dimethyl I'm starting to feel really paranoid for some reason.  ;D

So l'm explaining to the store owner that I'm having trouble walking because "I just blasted my legs with a killer workout"   ;D

Oh man you could tell he wanted me out of there.

When I stepped down from the curb to my car I almost collapsed.  ;D  I could sense his eyes peeking out at me from the store.
