Don’t need a lot of ground to cover

Leave a comment

Form matters and our space is limited. Let’s get to work.
WARMUP: A short jog with some butt-kickers & side shuffles.
THE THANG: Grab the (2) 60lb sand bags and introduce them to our kettle bells.
One PAX would farmer carry the two sand bags (leaving his bell behind) and travers roughly 40yds total while the other PAX completed an exercise. Everyone got 2rds on the bags while the following exercises were completed.
Thrusters, OH Press (L), OH Press (R), Simbas, Curls, OH Tricep Extensions, Flutters w/ Press, Bent Over Rows, Dead Lifts, Standing Lunge (Left leg in front), Standing Lunge (Right leg in front).
Ditch the bags and overhead carry the bells to the front of the stadium. Form 2 lines facing each other.
Focus on form and identify the man across from you. He was your competition and your accountability.
Perform real squats until one of you take a break then we do 5 Man Makers
Repeat this evolution but doing overhead presses then 5 thrusters when failure occurs.
Very interesting to realize when these are the parameters, you’re apt to work much harder. Nobody wants to quit on someone else.
Shuffle with your bell over to the circle and form 2 columns (formation) facing me. Very reminiscent of the way Santini used to line us up.
20 KB Swings then a 20 second hold with the KB out front.
20 Low Squat pulses (yes, you Redwoods remember these) then a 20 second low squat hold (keep your chest up)
20 Flutters w/ Press and a 20 second Canoe hold
Shuffle up the hill to the maintenance entrance, do some more work.
Down to the gate for more work. Back to COT for more work.

MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
COT: Indeed. Stays in COT.
