Day 11 of the Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering 2016!!
Today is possibly going to suck Pembroke.
But not too bad!
Just bad enough.
Today’s adaptation of the Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa holiday spirit brings you to bodyweight squats.
LOVE BODYWEIGHT SQUATS!!
And of course since suffering is in the title of the 2016 Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering Challenge it should be a pretty high number of significance.
Just because.
So today complete 379 bodyweight squats like a Hulk! Or She-Hulk.
Hulk first comic’d in March of 1979! Hence the 3 and 79.
Good luck!
Day 12 of the Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering 2016!!
Welcome to Day 12 of the 13 Days of Belley Fitness Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering Challenge!!
On the 12th day we celebrate the holy trinity: Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman.
And with that comes a easy effort of 250 Burpeees.
You know, because like, it’s like the 25th multiplied by 10.
My reasoning does not need to make any sense for this challenge.
Good luck in Pembroke, Marshfield, Duxbury or wherever you are!!

Day 13 of the Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering 2016!!
Welcome to Day 13 of the Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering Challenge!!
I’m counting down instead of up on this challenge because there’s enough “UP” in the holiday craze for James Brown and Rob Ford to resurrect from the grave for another carol.
And I’m kicking it off “Laughing All The Way.. HA HA HA” with The Joker.
200 Beast Reaches.
Why so serious??
Do em’all at once.
Do em’over many sets.
Complete individuality and control!
Unlike the um…Holidays in the title.
Enjoy!!!
And if you don’t know what a Beast Reach is, there’s a video attached sufferer 🙂
PS – Neither James Brown, nor Rob Ford’s corpses, and/or burial plots, we’re harmed or disturbed during the typing of this blog post. The more you know…
Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas-Hanukkah-Kwanzaa Suffering 2016!!
Today starts the speed bump tradition of Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas-Hanukkah-Kwanzaa Suffering!!!!
Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering 2016
Each day a movement pushed to unpleasant rep counts… because, well, the month of December just feels uncomfortable anyway. 
May as well have some fun with the unpleasant trips to malls and shops for completely unnecessary gifts, eggnog and sugar cookie body fat increases, public fighting over holiday season or Christmas wishes, Santa’s who aren’t Christian white men, is it Xmas or Christmas, the first world white people problems that’ll give you just the kick you need to crush some epic reps bro!!!
GOOD LUCK FOLKS!!
Or should I say “God Luck”??
Happy Fitnessing and Suffering from Pembroke’s own Belley Fitness!!!
PS – You’re allowed to participate too Marshfield and Duxbury 🙂
When Goals Backfire!
So this afternoon after training the bulk of clients at the studio from 6 am – noon today I decided to train myself after sticker-stamping the Christmas cards at the Marshfield Post Office – I know I know I’m a procrastinator.
Well let’s just say my goal for the random session backfired.
How you ask?
Well let’s see the original plan:
Today’s random Xmas week workout: For successful reps in a row: Descending Ladder
A1) Bodyweight Widest Grip Pull-Ups:
8 reps
A2) 12” Single Leg “Full Extension 25# Plate Overhead” Box Squats
4 reps
A3) Trap bar Shrugs (70% of bodyweight)
14 reps
NOTE:
Continue as many sets possible until managing all of the reps in 1 exercise dropping to 0
8-4-14, 8-4-14, 8-4-14, 8-4-14,
8-4-14, 8-4-14, 8-4-14, 8-4-14,
8-4-14, 8-4-14, 8-4-14, 8-4-14,
8-4-14, 8-4-14, 8-4-14, 8-4-14,
8-4-14, 8-4-14, 8-4-14, 8-4-14,
(160-80-280) = 60 sets
26,400 + 30,400 + 32,200 = 89,000 total pounds
Well, between people popping in to drop off Christmas cards quickly, and me logging this workout down after 2 hours and 20 rounds totaling 600 reps and 89,000 pounds of volume I decided to call it a workout.
I figured for sure it would’ve been a 90 minute workout ending in failure.
Basically I underestimated myself and should have upped the numbers.
I should have started the Pull-Up amount at 15, one legged squats with 25 pound plate overhead at 6 reps per leg and the shrugs should have been my bodyweight.
But either way I’m not complaining.
I also performed a 10 minute burst session this morning at 6am when I first entered the studio:
A1) Jump Rope
A2) Knuckle Push-Ups
A3) 1 Legged 24” Box Jumps
A4) Muscle-Ups (pull-up where you continue through pushing yourself up over the bar)
Plus I still have my functional session tonight I’ll perform a couple hours prior to sleep.
Point in case though, you are always capable of more, so long as you intelligently design the session.
What if I had only settled for a descending series that started and 8 and after 8 sets stopped at 1?
That would have been a very simple session.
So always plan intelligently.
Always give a little more than you believe you have.
Aim HUGE and watch where you end up.
Most likely increasingly further than you had originally planned.
Find the dream… and live it
