Wow! This blog post is LONG overdue, and for that I sincerely apologize. However, it is here now, so let's get to it. Okay, so last week I was on vacation with my family at a resort in Tulum, Mexico. The weather was absolutely beautiful, and it was very nice being able to get off the map for five days. I also took the opportunity to devise a basic plan as to how someone can survive a similar resort and leave with their health intact, as the unlimited food, booze, and free time give the average traveler very little incentive to not completely destroy their body. This plan will be posted in this blog in the very near future.
There wasn't a weight room at the resort we we were staying, so I decided to use last week as my deload week from training. If you aren't sure what a deload week or deload period are, check out my latest article, "Deload To Reload". Sunday I was traveling all day and Monday I just read out by the pool. However, I brought my TRX with me and I have a door attachment, so on Tuesday I did a TRX circuit for about 20 minutes right outside of my hotel room.
Wednesday was a great day as I woke up at 6:00 and went down to the beach for a workout along the water. I did a dynamic warm-up, then moved into some plyometric exercises, followed by a body-weight strength circuit (which included bear crawls, pushups, cliff scalers, and forward and reverse lunges), and I finished with a 300, which in sand was VERY slow haha. Then, a few hours later my family and I did some hiking around the Mayan Ruins, and what started out as a very touristy event soon turned into a brand new workout, as you can see:
On Thursday and Friday I did another TRX circuit. That was the extent of my workouts for the week.
The big news on the Self Made front was that I wrote a new article (“Deload To Reload”) (see above), and I got my third article in the last five months featured on EliteFTS.com.
Well, that’s all that happened last week. Now it’s time to go live this one.
Get big or die tryin’.
