Yesterdays Workout

Yesterdays training was a small group session focusing on conditioning and overall fitness. It consisted of 5 total rounds for time, meaning as fast as you can complete the session. The rounds consisted of a 400m run, 1 tractor tire flip, 5 pull ups, 10 box jumps (20"), 15 burpees, and 20 sledge hammer strikes (10l/10r). The hammer strikes were performed with a 6lb and 8lb sledge hammer where you stirike the tire as hard as possible (like chopping wood). For those who have never seen a burpee, it is a core Crossfit exercise. It is basically a squat thrust, push up and when you stand back up you jump in the air. If you have never tried them, see how fast you can knock 50 reps. It'll wake you up in the morning. Times ranged from 28 minutes flat to 30 and some change, pretty respectable. Three athletes participated in the training which turned out to be a grueling test of cardiovascular/muscular endurance. "Never Quit"

Big Numbers

Yesterday I was joined by three friends in the gym. We worked on a huge volume set of body weight training. The workout went like this. 1-pullup, 2 ring-dips, 3 pushups, 4 sit-ups. We wene from 1-10 and 10-1 Example set #2 2 pullup, 4 ring dip, 6 pushup 8 situp. Set #3 3/6/9/12. This was done all the way to set #1o of 10/20/30/40 then again set #10 and back down to 1. This workload turned out to be grueling and some did not finish. If you finish you just did 110 pullups/220 ring dips/330 pushups/440 situps. Small individual sets that equal a huge volume workout.
