Start with Station #3

Leave a comment

Last time I Q'd the Kitchen Sink we only used 1pc of gear. Needed to up my game for this Q to live up to the name Kitchen Sink, gotta bring more gear, so we used 3pcs. this go around – Ruck, SB, & KB.

WARMUP: Started with a mosey around the COT parking lot loop mixed in with the usual suspects, stopped and formed a circle back at COT for more of the usual warm-up movements. Time to work.

THE THANG:
3 stations were set-up around the COT parking lot loop. Instructed PAX they would need to carry all gear to each station. Upon arriving at a station, you can unload. Each station consisted of a buy in/out exercise and various other exercises with 1pc of gear. After completing the buy-in, list of exercises, and the buy-out, load up all gear and move to the next station. Continue until time is called. Stations are described below:

Station 1 — Exercises w/Ruck
· Buy In/Out – ManMakers x 10

  • Ruck thrusters x12
  • Ruck On squat jumps x12
  • Ruck On Alt Backward Lunge x 12 ( 6 ea leg )

Station 2 — Exercises w/Kettlebell
· Buy In/Out – Merkins w/ KB pull through x 10

  • KB swings x20
  • KB Alt Snatches x20 (10 ea side)
  • KB U-Hauls x20

Station 3 — Exercises w/Sandbag
· Buy In/Out – SB Overhead Press Toss x 10

  • Sandbag bear-hug squats x12
  • Sandbag ShouldertoShoulder OH Press x12
  • Sandbag DeadLift to Cleans x12

Everyone made it through 2 rounds on this muggy morning. FishStix said we covered a little over a mile and then suggested we should add one more piece of gear. Will take this suggestion into strong consideration for next time! We started with station #3 because YHC did not pay attention when setting up the stations prior to the workout. Found out it's not about where you start, it's how we finish that is important.

MARY: No time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your NL! Stuff the Bus this Saturday, Bethel this Thursday, etc…

COT: STK!
