Moments before writing this I reached over and scratched my left arm. I felt something there I haven't felt in ages. It's the same thing I feel when I hug my grandmother or give my mom a pat on the arm. It's that same soft skin I have been rebelling against for the past 5 years. The skin on my upper arm is soft like a cupcake (without icing, because with the icing it would just be messy). I'm preparing myself for the impending pain of wearing short sleeves with soft arms this spring. It was so cool last summer watching my arms as they tightened up and eventually had a nice little ripple. Unfortunately, that's not so much the same story this year.
I'm okay with that though, and I'll tell you why. It's because I am in the midst of developing legs as tough as rocks. Do you remember the rockbiter in the movie, The Never Ending Story? I'm just like that guy. Except I'm not gray like limestone, and I have better teeth. It's like I'm eating rocks and they are going right to my calves and thighs. It's kind of cool to see my legs shaping up the same way my arms did. Take a look at Wednesday's workout and you'll get a good idea why...Workout:
3 Rounds (2 minutes rest between rounds)
AMRAP in 2:00 Minutes
Squatting Box Jumps: 20/21/22
30 sec rest
Side Shuffles: 40/45/50
30 sec rest
Situps: 38/40/45
30 sec rest
Jumping Deck Squats: 25/26/30
Total Reps: 402
This workout encouraged short bursts of intense output with a good amount of rest inbetween. This allowed us to really work on explosive movements.

Didn't you do this with the x-vest, too? Either way, I think you can officially start playing "She's Got Legs" or "Miss New Booty" as your theme song as you walk down the street.
No, no! No x-vest here. I'm not that crazy!
