In case many were wondering how many reps I do within my 30 minute supersetting calisthenic routine. I did the math and to a suprise to myself, it came up to 903 reps.

Here is the breakdown. I usually do them in sets or sessions of 3 back to back 6x with 1 minute rest in between each 3 sets. Then I do the other 3 back to 6x as well. This is what I do in total.

Wide Grip Pullups - 6 x 10 = 60
Pushups 6 x 50 = 300
Reverse Pullups 6 x 18  = 108
Dips 6 x 25 = 150
Chinups 6 x 10 = 60
Reverse Dips 6 x 25 = 150
Then 75 Pushups = 75

Total = 903 Reps

This is what I now do in combination with my weight training. I know it seems intense, but it is what is working me and getting me into shape. I also will be incorporating handstand pushups soon. Somehow i will round it out to 1000 reps in 30 minutes. Hey I will make a movie and name it "1000 - The Non Spartan Movie". - lol .

So Sunday June 8, 08, I got to go to South Beach in Miami, Fl. It was very interesting. I got to work on my tan and actually got some color or darker. Already had the color. So on the beach, I really felt good and and no fear of removing my muscle shirt and exposing my chest. I thought I was doing good and felt great….until…..We let me decribe it like this…Im a wienie. Everywhere I turned were the mini Arnolds. Mini but no so mini. So the slowly found my spot in the sand laid down and buried my self under all the sand. Feeling so defeated. So today I woke up at 5 am, went to the hotel so called gym. Trained for an hour and then I jumped in the hotel pool that really was a pool and I sprinted 20 laps. 10 breast stroke and 10 freestyle. Swimming does miracles for the body. So that was my thus far 2 days in Miami….Bienvenido A Miami!

I know I have not written to the blog in over a month, but it has been very busy for me since I travel alot. Overall my now 4 week calis and then 2 weeks of calis/weight combo has been phenominal for me. As some may have seen in my progress shots and my 3 personal videos, that I have had some significant success. Though I have not reached my goal yet, I am very happy with the results thus far. Also, my abs who have been hiding for many years, have begun to make an appearance, and that to me is an outstanding success. So with that being said, keep on the watch to as I do my best to progress even more. BTW: Check out my videos and progress shots on BB or YouTube.
