Forgive the heavy use of exclamation points and allow me to make up for lost time the best way I know how, making fun of Nazis.
Yes those Nazis had it coming. On a more relevant note, there really has been little activity for our band of Nothing To It'ers other than Steven and I getting into the gym this past Thursday for a quick burn. Our workout consisted of...
WOD:
Four Rounds of as much time and as many reps of Two Exercises in One Minute followed by One Minute Rest of...
Straight Arm Support on Rings
Thrusters
Thrusters were performed at 55#. Not a bad workout. Quick, functional, effective. I have been wanting to get more into gymnastic exercises, and straight arm support is a fundamental place to start. The goal is to support yourself, straight arms, and palms and elbows out in order to get your arms away from the straps.
I liked this workout, and as time progresses, hopefully our strength does as well. A combination of heavy thrusters along with more advanced gymnastic exercises (ie. back/front lever holds, dips, MU's, etc) would fit this model well, IMO.
Further note: Arnold's World Championship in No Gi Grappling is this Saturday. Nothing To It.

I've been focused on supports since my wife bought me my rings at the beginning of the year. I'll continue to be focused on them until I can do 1-2 minutes of continuous support. And next, good L-sits.
Thanks for the post Sean. Owning your own pair of rings is great isn't it.
Yes, having my own rings at home is awesome. It is probably the single most effective and versatile piece of upper body equipment I could own. I can't believe how much stronger I've gotten in a couple months.
Well, nothing to do with sports, but the video isn't as funny if you know the film and understand what they're actually talking about xD
What was the film?
German film - how could it be ;) - "Der Untergang"
