OUTLAW! Bring on the Beastmode

Today was day 3 of officially following The Outlaw Way.  I have to say that I have a love hate relationship with it.  Designed for elite athletes Rudy’s program constantly reminds me that I have a long way to go before I can call myself elite.  But I can already tell that I’m feeling stronger in my Olympic lifts and that I will need to scale for a while.  Two days of Clean and Jerks and a day of Snatch has me excited for the program.  Heading into the gym I’m sure that I’m the weird guy already.  The place I’m a member of here is not exactly Crossfit friendly, in fact in the next couple weeks I’ll have a decent size equipment order on stuff to bring in with me just to do pretty basic movements.  The absence of bumper plates also has caused me to get a few weird looks.  You try doing snatches with the little metal 25# plates and seeing what people do when they walk into the room.  Overall though I feel like I’m hitting my stride here.  This was my last full week of training and other than some specific sessions for the job in the next two weeks - Log Hewing, Rope Making, Stone Cutting, and Historic Weapons (Black Powder) I’m in the swing of being a full time Ranger.  I love my job, and truly feel blessed that I can put on the green and gray and go to work everyday.  Now to expand my social circle.  When you life revolves around time at work or the gym or sitting at home it’s not exactly the most exciting way to live.
