It's pretty damn awesome here. Not going to lie. It was eighty and sunny. Did some drills for a couple of hours. I need to find a gym though. I gotta keep lifting. The jobs that I moved out here for night fall through....so I'm quite nervous.

That would be awful! I will be thinking of ya...hope things will fall together and you'll be set.
Thanks Roxy! ME too!
Thanks My Brother. I don't know what's going on. I'm quite hosed if they fall through. We'll see what happens. Appreciate the best wishes though Zed!
So today was good cause I was able to do quite a bit of training.
cardio with medice ball in the deep Huntington sand is a bitch!
Star drills
Start at a center location then go forward (3 steps with proper footwork as fast as you can while holding 20lb ball) and to the left to the 10oclock position, then back to center, then to nine o clock, then back to center, and so on till you have gone around the clock. Then go around twice, then twice again then do one more single set.
No resting though as between each set of star drills you're doing front squat to push press with thera bands, and front and side shoulder raises with 12lb kettle bells. No rep count, just till the other dude finishes his set of star drills.
Then it's serious reps on the court. Which blows cause after my 10 min jog in the sand, and the cardio, my legs are completely fried. Drills usually consist of One team serves every ball to one guy, and it's the first team to 21. There is no rest, full speed all the time. I really can't describe how out of place, and how absolutely awful it makes the legs hurt. It's sooooooooo much harder than it looks on tv. Basically the reps last from 9am to 11:30 am. At which point I went home and ate a good solid meal. (I haven't been cheating by the way!, still going strong!!!!) then went to Casey's house for lifting. Which will be a everyday thing now. And wouldn't you know it. Leg day!
(Circuit #1. No rest in between exercises)
Cleans
4 sets 6 reps each 155lbs
Front squats
Body weight 4 sets 20 reps
Goblet squat
45lbs 4 sets 20 reps
Side lunge with 12lb kettle bell
4 sets 8 reps each leg
Circuit #2
Reverse fly
10lb plates 3 sets 10 reps
Pike push-ups on Bosu Ball
bodyweight, 3 sets, 10 reps
Swedish Twist on Bosu ball (super hard. Casey made it look easy. He's 190 and 6'7"....explain how that works?....)
Body weight, 3 sets, 10 reps
Opposite arm to toe touch on bosu ball
Bodyweight, 3 sets, 10 reps
So basically I'm laying here, knowing that tomorrow at 8:00am I'll be doing it all over again. I'm fried. The sun just zaps it out of you. I'm cramping in my hamstrings, toes, quads, and arches of my feet. And yet...I think "bring it on" ...cause there will always be somebody better, and that might as well be me.
Not to sound like a jerk, but ya'll never stood a chance in this competition.
Just discuss amongst yourselves who's competing for second.
