Off Road Racing

Per the hype graphic/msg, felt like we needed to workout on the field instead of pavement. Was excited about the rain last night and the additional nastiness it would bring to the workout. Arrived to the site only to be disappointed as I stepped onto the field, mildly soggy, no puddles. Oh well, the 95% humidity made up for the lack of water obstacles! Mapped out a rectangle – approx. 15yards wide and 30 yards long. Strategically placed 6 pain stations along the perimeter of the rectangle. Each pain station had instructions for the exercise to be completed before traveling to the next pain station. Also gave the PAX a MOT so they knew how to proceed to the next pain station. Asked the PAX to compete with one another, race, push themselves.

WARMUP: From COT had the PAX carry the bags onto the field and to the starting point of our rectangular track. Started with SSHx20IC at station #1 and then explained the exercise and MOT. Once all PAX confirmed they understood we moseyed to the next pain station, asked the PAX to perform 5 burpees OYO and then explained the exercise and MOT. Followed this process and decreased the burpee count to 1 as we reached the final pain station. Moseyed to the starting point and ready to go.

THE THANG: Complete as many laps as possible. FishStix was king of the 40lb bag carriers and I believe either DeepDish or Maximus was king of the 60lb bag carriers.

Pain Station #1: 10 – Man Makers
MOT – Backward OH Toss

Pain Station #2: 20 – Bear Hug Squats
MOT – Bear Crawl w/ Pull Through

Pain Station #3: 15 – DeadLifttoCleantoPress
MOT – Alt Side Toss

Pain Station #4: 20 – Sand Bag Swings
MOT – Rifle Carry

Pain Station #5: 20 – Wide Sumo Squats w/ Front Lateral Raise
MOT – Front Press Toss

Pain Station #6: 20 – Derkins ( Feet on the SB )
MOT – Rack SB on shoulders and shuffle

MARY: NONE

Don’t need a lot of ground to cover

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.
