This ain't yo mama's double dutch

Cheap scotch and hip hop.
There's an apartment for rent,
inquire within.
When JT moves out,
let Jaron in!
 
When Jaron sent out the fourth phase of hypertrophy four weeks past, with an emphasis given to gaining vertical leap, I nearly LOL'd him out of the building when I read two weekly circuits of jump rope. Who the freak does he think I am; a third grader competing in the President's Fitness Challenge? Oh how wrong I have been... Black magic has nothing on the demonic spell he cast over my calves and knees. The devil's herd is currently knife fighting in my lower hinges.
 
At the end of the first and third workouts, a twenty minute jump roping set is the designated cardio. During the past eight workouts with jump rope assignments I have yet to make it more than two minutes straight with out stopping for either, a calf seizure, a near arch collapse, a shin-smacking rope miscue, or all of the above. Over the past month, my twenty minutes of jump rope has been subdivided into six rounds of three minutes. The first thirty seconds is a pre-set rest phase (to make sure the Pandora connections is solid). Then the trailing two-thirty is a monkey boy uncoordinated pogo. Laugh it up! Drop a comment if you make it more than one-thirty and cursing all things sacred.
 
Post Script
Next post will be the official launch of our merchandise line for The ODJ. Unlike earning your Insanity T-shirt, we are shamelessly selling swag to fund our citrus addiction.

  1. Bring all comers on this 3 minute challenge. Jump rope as a child seemed like nothing. As an adult, somehow this adolescent endeavor has transformed into a pain gauntlet! Can't quite explain it to the uninformed, but trust me, it is brutal. What was once a preteen novelty is now paramount to torture. No sane person should undertake such vile misuse of one's lower extremities. Unless that person has the desire to dunk a basketball at the ripe old age of 38! As for our new marketing endeavor, I don't want to give too much away, but if you are a male reader with little to no game...this one'll be right up your alley! Until next post...
