Routine of the Day – Angie (difficult version)
Posted by bradinator in Fitness, Routines on January 4, 2010
Warm up – 3 Rounds for Time (4:20)
- 20 Chair Dips
- 20 Pushups
- 20 Bootstrappers
- 20 V-Crunches
- 10 Pullups
Routine of the Day – Angie (difficult version)
Complete as many round as possible of -
- 5 Handstand Pushups (wall assisted)
- 10 Assisted Pistol Squats (1-Legged Squats, used the stairs to assist)
- 15 Ring Pullups
9 Rounds finished, 1 minute to spare, rep’ed out 27 Ring Dips.
It does not look like much, but this is a challenging routine. Only a few months ago a single Handstand Pushup was nearly impossible for me, but rep’ing out 5 in a row is cake (for the first 5 rounds anyways).

Beer Review – Hoegaarden
Posted by bradinator in Beer, Beer Tasting on January 4, 2010
Name: Hoegaarden
Origin: Belgium
Style: Wheat Ale (Witbier 4.9%)
Appearance: Orange and copper in colour, this beer pours with a small, fizzy head.
Taste: Some minor aromas that remind me of incense and floral hoppy notes as well. This whit is spicy with strong notes of cloves and banana. Finishes sweet, with a lingering banana like aftertaste.
Mouth Feel: Soft and easy drinking. This beer is highly refreshing and easily quaffable.
Final Thoughts (3.5 out of 5): It’s hard to believe I am drinking the same Hoegaarden I had several years ago. All I could taste then was the overpowering spices and could barely finish my pint. It goes to show you how much your tastes can change and evolve overtime.
