Zen and the lifting of heavy things.

“You going to train trapeze on that diet, fat boy?”

Russian for “hardcore motherfucker”

New workout – trapeze training Soviet style. Note the lack of actual trapeze, apart from one or two exercises:

Squats
Shoulder press
Vertical rows
V-snaps (2×10)
Rope climb (2)
Inverted situps (2×20)
Chest raise (2×20)
Dish (60 seconds)
Superman (60 seconds)
Round-the-world (2×4)
Chinups (2×8)
Dips (2×10)
Handstand (60 seconds)
Leg Lifts (2×10)
One arm hang (2×30 seconds each arm)
Planche rocks (2×5)

That’s a workout. Alternating workouts swap the press and vertical rows for deadlifts and benchpress. This is because I was getting undisciplined – I’d do the one arm hangs “sometimes”, because hey, I get that while I’m doing tricks, right? YEah, not so much. So I do this three times a week, and on the other 3 nights, I’m allowed to actually play on the trapeze. This may kill me.
