I love front squats

Leave a comment

Dora with farmers carry, running and bear complexes (hang clean, front squat, press, back squat = 1 rep) around 60-70 reps completed with 800 meters for farmer carry. Bag toss overs with man makers. Finished by a row, press and front squat on repeat for five minutes.

Sink roulette deck of cards

Leave a comment

17 eager and excited pax showed up. Some brought sand bags, some brought just their willing attitude which was quickly put on point upon the pile of sandbags awaiting them.

After a quick run around the parking lot, a few in cadence SSH, followed by burpees, and that repeated a few times, it was time for business.

Deck of cards was the game. Rules were simple. Follow the count on the card and suit to the key on the paper.

Here’s the extra kitchen sink rule: for the 4 cards laid out, 1 card was chosen by a pax to either pick red or black. If correct, follow the card suit/count. If incorrect, penalty was double the count.

All exercises were done with your sandbag.

– 2-7 diamonds manmaker
– 8-Ace diamonds squats
– 2-7 spades lunge
– 8-Ace spades merkins (just do regular merkins
– 2-7 clubs clean and press
– 8-Ace clubs flutter w/ a press
– 2-7 hearts chest press
– 8-Ace hearts curls
– Joker gear carry shuffle 100 yards and then 1 min sandbag toss over shoulder, 100 yard shuffle
– A few “breaks” were added which included some slick run cool downs and a few gear shuffles with no bag toss

For the record, there were some incorrect cards chosen which were a crowd favorite as you’d expect.

Sandbags: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Acknowledgement that Divac’s Q is getting postponed until next week so you’re stuck with me. We chose the gift behind door #2 which means I would be coming up with this on the fly.
Mosey around the parking lot.
THE THANG: Workout consisted of farmer carries, overhead presses, bear crawls, bent over rows, curls, sand bag tosses, over-the-shoulder tosses and possibly some other stuff.
No 120lb sand bag was used in the making of this workout. Q was soft.
MARY: Integrated throughout.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Yes
COT: Principle #5

Moleskin: YHC busts another filler bag, easily shedding 10 points of sand in the final 15 minutes of the workout. Maximus represented the “still wearing shorts in February” club before flying off to warmer weather today. PETA was recovering from the death flu and still put in the work. Sprocket was alone in his thoughts on the field but is always chatty when humping weight. And, last but not least, Spider-Man served up a web of mumble chatter and groaning when it came to sandbag complexes and bear crawl drags – I kinda like it.
Always a pleasure – Solo
