Updates + Sissy Challenge...

Been a bit out of sorts lately, what with the fire. evacuations, etc..
Fortunately Joy and Lorilee came over Friday & Saturday to apply some much needed pressure to get me back into the swing of things...

Like most guys I work harder when there are women around who are stronger and faster than me.

Today's solo session was from Shane Englands RKC's 'The Edge Sissy Test Invitational '

Official Sissy Test Instructions:

Step 1:Start the timer

Step 2: Perform 25 burpees (If you do not know how to do a burpee, shame on you, and please do not attempt this challenge)

Step 3: Perform 1 kettlebell swing (If you do not know how to perform a proper kettlebell swing, shame on you, and please do not attempt this challenge). Bell size is your choice, but the weight should be moderate for you as you will be very tired and if your form breaks down Pavel will appear and kick you in the face.

Step 4: Perform 24 burpees

Step 5: Perform 2 kettlebell swings

Steps 6: Continue that pattern until you work down to 1 burpee and 25 kettlebell swings. If you are not smart enough to continue that pattern, then please do not attempt this challenge.

Step 7: Upon completing your 25th swing stop the timer. Note your time and go get a drink of choice.

Enjoy!
