Thirty Twenty Ten

Leave a comment

Total of six pax for an awesome morning of wind and rain. I had to lash the flag to a light pole as anything else would have resulted in “flag down!”
Count was three for bootcamp and three for IPC make-up.
Bootcampers had 1980’s tunes going and did the below.
Brief warmup: SSH, windmills, stretches.
Thang: 30-20-10
Pax do 30 reps of two exercises, then do 20 reps, then do 10 reps. Run a loop (we used the bus loop). Then proceed to the next pair of exercises. One exercise of each pair used a cinder block. The exercise pairs were:
Curls (w/ cindy) – Crunches
–run loop–
KB Swings – Flutters (count only right leg)
–run loop–
Merkins – goblet squat
–run loop–
OH Press – Pickle pointers
–run loop–
Chest press – big boy sit ups
–run loop–
Side bends – leg raises
–run loop—
Curls (w/ cindy) – Crunches

30-20-10 because (in my mind/experience) 30 is the limit to executing with good form. I tend to get sloppy after that. The get down and get up aspect between exercises adds something.

Sparty Start

Leave a comment

Short mosey run

Warmup: SSH (20xI/C); windmills; Imperial Walkers; Moroccan N/C; Low Slow Sqts; big arm circles; peter parkers; plank stretches

Thang 1: Mini-Spartan:
Start at bottom of hill, run up to pull up bars, do 10 pull-ups, then out to the street and crawl under the barbed wire (2 wires), then farmers carry cinder blocks about 100 feet out and back, drop blocks, back to the bars and do 10 toes-to-bar, run back to bottom of the hill and rinse/repeat.

Barbed wire detail:
Two cinder blocks staked horizontally, string a cargo strap across to another stack of two cinder blocks.

Place a second set of barbed wire ten feet further down. Two-block height worked well in my opinion, it’s a real crawl underneath and not a bear crawl. Top view:
