Needed a Benchmark

I've had a scattered training program for the last couple months, so I thought it was time to put myself to a measuring stick.

Weight 190
Body Fat 18
Waist 33/34

These numbers are all way to high. Last year I was 177 at this time. 

Too much crappy food and a lack of focus on training. It stops today.

Benchmark Test

50 Manmakers
2 - 20 Kg
For Time

Manmaker is:
2 Kettlebells on floor - hands on handles
Jump Back to Push up position
Push Up
Row L
Row R
Jump forward
Clean kettlebells
Squat
Thrust to Press
This is One.

50 is a lot!

50 Manmakers
25 Minutes 10 Seconds

I was having problems motivationg myself to keep going. I started with sets of 10. That lasted 2 sets, then I went down to sets of 5. 

I could get 10 reps in at 2:40 but I need to catch my wind. So My rest periods got out of control but I had to rest to keep my form...

What did I learn?

Loose some weight, gain some strength and lower my time!

Tom,

Glad to see you back at it. I think I have found a balance for training with a 5 month old. We should try and get together soon and train.
