She was taking some hits and dealing some out too - had a line of girls from various boxing classes lined up to jump in the ring. I think she'll do ok in the fight for life. The reach on her is crazy!! plus she is heavier than she looks (being super tall but trim) so I think her opponent might be surprised by how hard she hits.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Sounds like you'd be keen to do a few rounds with her Paeks.....<br><br>
Then maybe do some boxing afterwards. -
<p>Waaay too tall for me bro. But buy me a few drinks and who knows!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Either way I don't think it's anything that'd make the cut for Mokey's novels!</p> -

<p>Depends if you are aiming to be the hero or comic relief sidekick. Or maybe the villain?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or Irene could be the villain, an Amazonian warrior who jab/cross/kicked poor innocent PKB unconscious and dragged him away to her jungle lair.</p> -
<p>Torture session 3: trainer kindly referred to my ass as the sleeping giant.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today: 4km cycle warmup, jab crosses, jab cross kicks, jabs, crosses. Rope squats, pushing giant metal fucker, rope squats, glute press, 1 min cycle (off seat) glute press, 1min cycle (off seat) leg lifts, alternate glute squeeze/pulse while balancing weight bag on abs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure I will be able to walk tomorrow.</p> -
<p>Gotta stay low on the sled... if that is what 'Giant metal fucker' is describing! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Those things get real evil when you are knackered - keeping any kind of form going when fatigued is super tough.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sleeping giant aye? will avoid any BFG comments :whistle:</p> -
<p>Google waiters carries - the Kettle bell version. Magic for shoulders, posture and a bit of core too. Try the variation where you balance the KB upside down on it's handle rather than in a clean grip, with the KB against your wrist/forearm.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I promise once you get the hang of them you will love em. I've got shitty office monkey shoulders and doing these 1-2 a week has made a huge difference to my posture.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The trash heap has spoken!</p> -
<p>Ugh, I am one sexy pink blowfish right now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today started with 4.5km cycle then moved to boxing sans gloves, just those wrist/knuckle wraps. Jab/cross sets, fast crosses, jab/cross kicks. Then moved into rope squats and lunges. This was followed by a crazy game where trainer and I both batted balloons into the air and had to dash from side to side stopping either from hitting the ground. Then deadlifts and lunges using the elastic plus pole thing that you slip around your feet as resistance. So my arms are starting to cry then trainer gets all smiley and says we have to open up my shitarse weak shoulder blades, so four sets of 10 pullbacks. After this I got handed an 8kg kettlebell and learned the basic front back swing (because I am totally unco trainer said we would work our way up to waiter lift). Finished with chest stretch.</p> -
<p>ah, yeah probably a good idea to get more familiar with KB's before doing waiters carries.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can't stress enough how work on your mobility will pay off, and sooner than you think! It opens up a whole range of cool (read painful) exercises for fun times! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>With the KB swing it's all in the hips and glutes, fire those bad boys and you shouldn't need to use your arms at all to get the KB moving. </p> -
<p>Thrust the hips!!! channel your inner Elvis or just pretend you're doing the timewarp!!</p>
