Tabata Combos

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Moseyed out of the parking lot towards the hill behind the school. As we moseyed down the hill to the pull-up bar area we performed buttkickers, high knees, and karaoke x 2. Once we arrived at the pull-up bar area we performed Windmills x7, Tappy Taps x 10, MNC x 12, and SSH x 21 all in cadence.
THE THANG: Tabata format wo, 30 sec of exercise followed by 10 sec of rest. A round included 3 different exercises. Complete 2 sets of each exercise and then move to the next one. Once 2 sets of the 3rd exercise is completed run through the 3 exercises again but only 1 set of each. Target is 4 1/2 minutes of exercise with 1 1/2 minutes of rest per round.

1st Tabata Rnd:
Mountain Climbers ( 1 rep each leg ) into a Merkin Alt. Single Leg V-Up ( 1 rep each side ) into a Full V-Up
Alt. Side Lunges ( 1 rep each side ) into a Ski Squat Jump ( legs are close together )

In between Tabata rounds we strolled over to the pull-up bars.
1st pull-up bar routine: 5 reps of 1/2 pull ups ( only completing half the rep pulling up ), followed by 5 reps of 1/2 pull ups ( only completing half the rep coming down from apex ), followed by 5 full pull ups. Completed 2 rounds.

2nd Tabata Rnd:
Inch Worm Merkins
Alt. Freddy Ms into a full body crunch ( keep legs at 6 inches, complete Freddy M on each side and when body is fully extended go into a full body crunch bringing knees to chest and trying to touch your toes )
Alt. Backward Lunges into a Jump Squat

2nd Pull up bar routine: Pax that were waiting their turn gave the Pax on the bars 10 counts. PAX on the bars had to hold 3 different positions for a 10 count. 1st hold was chin above bar for a 10 count, 2nd hold was half way down for a 10 count, and 3rd hold was a dead hang. Completed 2 rounds.

3rd Tabata Rnd:
Apollo Onos x 3 into a Single Leg Burpee ( the Apollo’s are on a 3 count so you switch legs for the single leg burpees )
Broad Jump to Burpee followed by 2 SSH moving backwards ( gets you back to starting position from the broad jump )
Ski Abs ( 1 rep each side ) into a Plank Jack

Ran out of time so the fellas missed the final pull up bar round. Moseyed back to COT.

MARY: None needed
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter on 8/4, CSAUP- The Final Countdown
COT: Lifted up marriages, health, and safe travels for traveling PAX.

Warmup hanging out with the bot

Leave a comment

WARMUP:

SSH
low slow squat
merkins

mosey down left side of school
changing mode of transport at each light pole
mosey
nur
bear crawl
karaoke
lunge walk

stop at end of blacktop
suicide runs down the length of the driveway area using the 4 lights as the stopping points

3 rounds. 1 minute each. Split into 2 groups
Group 1 – dead hang
Group 2 – Plank
Switch
Group 1 – dead hang
Group 2 – Al Gore
Switch
Group 1 – dead hang
Group 2 – hold a lunge
Switch

activating the lats during a dead hang helps with the movement and also recruits more muscles to punish. We don’t do a lot of grip work, nor pullups due to the nature of the F3 sites, so I think this is important to incorporate OTB or more regularly in workouts.

AMRAP 12 minutes
20 merkins
20 plank jacks
20 bomb jacks
5 burpee pull-ups (PAX can use their momentum from the jump to assist)

THE THANG:

5 pull-ups
Mosey back to COT

MARY: yes

ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots of 2nd F

COT: Named our FNG Focker. He is Funhouse’s daughter’s boyfriend so it seemed appropriate. 17 year old who is going to be a senior at Catawba Ridge, and we are glad to have him.
