As many of you know I try to keep things fresh and different, its kinda my thing. Cakeboss has big calves, Apache is loud, and CSPAN is old. We all kinda have a thing. So I was thinking the other day what exactly is there left to do. Tires came to mind. I have been to a few workouts where a tire was around but never a true tire workout. You Tube here I come….

I prepared for the workout, but didn’t fully prepare for the turnout. I was anticipating 4-6 and got 10. Wouldn’t have been so bad if I had 5-10 tires but I had partner exercises planed and only 4 tires. O well, adapt and overcome. Things could have been smother but I know better for the next tire workout.

Warm ups consisted of fast lap around parking lot, 10 mountain climbers, 3*10 second 6″ hold (insert bombjacks here), 10 wall muscle ups, 10 imperial walkers, 10 wall muscle ups, fast lap back to tire station

We had 1 semi steer tire and 3 regular pickup tires. The count went until the group with the semi tire was done. Then each group rotated until we all had a crack at the big tire. Series 1: Big tire flip 30 each partner. Small tire groups did partner tire throws, partner pass tire sit ups, overhead tire presses, back to back tire passes

Series 2 : Big tire drag 150′ each partner. Small tire group did toe taps, half Turkish get ups (with a tire), side to side wood choppers (imagine making a rainbow with a tire), declined merkins, and dips.

The final set was pretty basic. We split into 2 groups while still keeping our partner. 1 team would run about 100′ carrying the semi tire then change to another team to run back with it. While everyone else waited we did merkins, Moroccan night clubs, SSH, sit ups, and squats. After all the teams ran is when we would rotate to a different exercise. Things went ok…ish until the 4th to 5th time of running with the stupid tire. Let just say it got heavy….

I want to thank the guys that came out today. Wasn’t my best organization and everyone did great with adapting as needing and staying moving. Prayers for family, friends, and wealth. Maltz challange tomorrow, bring candy filled eggs so Skate or Die does a lot of burpees. Sorry we didn’t get to the sledge hammer but hey, need to save some fun for next time.
