HIT Workout - July 21st

Last workout at Pulse Gym since tomorrow is my last day working in Greenwich, CT!  This concludes over 2 years of doing HIT workouts with Chris Childs.  My first session was on May 21^st, 2009.  You can see the results of these 2 years in the %Increase column.  I worked out fasted and was happy to see a lot of blue – I felt strong today, recovered.

HIT Workout - July 14th

Only did a Big 5 this week.  I was wicked hung over from a wine dinner last night and the exertion made my head throb.  The wine dinner was a fantastic cooking class with all you could drink wine – the theme was ‘grilling’.    The Jack Daniels short ribs were the best part of it, but the blackened prawn over watermelon arugula salad came in a close 2^nd.  Anyway, I digress…

 

This was my 2^nd to last workout at Pulse Gym in Greenwich, but Chris has already given me the name of a HIT trainer in the city near my new work location.  I worked out fasted (and hung over) and had a chicken chili peppercorn dish for lunch an hour after.

HIT Workout - July 7th, 2011

This will be one of my last workouts at Pulse Gym in Greenwich, CT.  I accepted a new position in New York City yesterday and have resigned from the hedge fund I am currently working at.  But, my trainer Chris says there is a HIT gym 2 blocks from my new office – in fact the trainer there has been friends with Chris since they were in nursery school.  The HIT community is a small world!

 

I also went to my local gym last weekend and hit a new personal best on the Dead lift, 375# - 1 rep.  I managed another rep at 365#, then dropped it to 315# for 5 reps, and then to 225# for 2 more sets of 5 reps.
