Higa's garage workout 10/27/10



Finished up my workout with the above video.  Stood on the 3.5" block with Hiking Boots on so it made it a real low pull.

My daughter Kaiea ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes too while I was working out!  She ran Intervals of 1 minute running, then 1 minute of walking all the way  for 30 minutes!  "You go girl!"

Hitting the heavy bag with my neighbor Al Dennis

My neighbor Al text me and asked if I wanted to hit the heavy bag with him.  "Sure!"  I still need help with my technique but it was fun to watch Al teach me some pointers.

Warehouse workout w/HIGA MONSTER & the crew (Kent, WA)

It was another great workout yesterday morning.  That medley was thought up by Laurion and I thought he was a sick man for thinking of doing something like that.  Makes me stronger training with people like these guys & girls!

Kristyn's 10.04-10.09.10 workouts

I apologize for my long absence!  Life has been rather busy lately, then it was time for a deload week, but now I am back at it.  I am pretty happy with my first week back, but I'm noticing a difference when I actually have time limitations.  Trying to fit a decent workout into an hour is really really tough!!!

1x205, with tacky
Well, I blacked out for the first time ever today...  I was going for the 205 and on my first attempt, I got it up to my chest, saw some stars, which is pretty average for me, but took too long to get it on the platform and bam, down I went.  I couldn't leave the warehouse without hitting the 205, it would be totally unacceptable, so I got up, drank some fluids and hit it again.  Next time I'm doing a double with the 205!!!


Chain Drag
50'x711

Hurts so good!

Today's workout w/HIGA MONSTER & Zack Nims



It was good to get a workout with Zack again.  Since the school year started, I hardly get to train with him during the weekdays now.

"Agent O" is the real deal...what a great pre-workout product it is!  I just got my sample today from Animal Pak and will be testing it out and recording my workout results.  Its supposed to be released next Spring.

Aloha,

Hilo High School class of '88 in Las Vegas

So even though I graduated from the "better" high school of Waiakea High, I still had some friends from Hilo High school that I am friends with till this day.
My friend Joe Gulisao organized a small get together of Hilo alumni to fly up to Las Vegas and have some fun.  Of course, any Waiakea High graduates like myself were allowed to "crash" da party too.  LOL

Beatty wanted us to meet here for lunch after our workout.  Bristol and I were a little worried when we pulled up to the parking lot and hoped that we wouldn't get sick!

This restaurant was featured on "Man vs Food" Beatty said.

"Brah, I cannot tie this bib around my neckrolls...my shoulders are too tight too!"

We ordered a pound of shrimp and a pound of crawfish, butter & garlic style.

Bristol holding the bounty!

Now its time to get messy!

Las Vegas BikeFest was in town, so alot of these were on the streets.

Look at how tall this guy's handlebars are!

Its taller than me!  How does he steer this bike?

How did this fool park his scooter with all of these bikes?  He even has a Yosemite Sam sticker on the front like he's a badass...LOL

The police were out in full force because of all the bikers in town.  Just in case...

Randal took us to this steakhouse in downtown.  It was awesome!

Hilo High's "podagee" slot tournament.  LOL

They each put $20 into the nickel machine and the last man standing would win.

"The King" had to make sure he got his "Pick the Pros" before the games started on Sunday.

He's looking a little dazed & confused.  Maybe he had too many Bud Lights.

Saw my friend Randy Chinen when I landed back in Seattle.  He's a Port of Seattle police officer.

I had a blast with my friends and we need to do this more often.  Its been too long!
