Tabata plus Imposter Syndrome

Leave a comment

4 bootcampers 2 Ruckers at Coaches box.

First 30 we did a Tabata 6 rounds 4 sets each round. For “rest” between rounds we’d run up and down the hill at the entrance of the high school.

Each set was based off a base exercise… merkin squat bbs or burpee plus another exercise. You increase reps as you go through the set.

For example 1 merkin to 1 shoulder tap… then 2 merkins to 2 shoulder taps etc…

Merkins
Shoulder taps
Peter Parker’s
Plank jacks
HR merkins

Squats
R leg lunge
L leg lunge
Calf raises
Monkey humpers

BBS
Flutters
Freddie’s
Heel touches
Toe touches

Burpees
SSH
Seal Jacks
Imperial walkers
Hillbilly Walkers

—————-

Second 30 was a talk on Imposter Syndrome. Highly encourage you to research it but it’s something I feel we all encounter. Learn how to recognize in yourself and in others.

Thanks to Suplex for the opportunity!

Halfway there…… 10 Seconds….

Leave a comment

Beautiful day in the Gloom. Always look forward to Q. Great turnout at the sink for my madness with a timer.

Warmup:

SSH x 15
Seal Jack x 15
Plank Jack x15
Mountain Climber x 15

Pick up something heavy get to the field

All Pax line up facing a series of cones. All Pax have to do the following with their Block or Sandbag

50 Curls
75 Flutters with Press
100 Squats
25 Man makers

Every minute on the minute they will hear a beep. When you hear the beep you move to a cone.
Mode of Transportation between cone 1 and 2 is Overhead carry. Mode of Transportation of cones 2 and 3 are murder bunny or Bag toss.
Wash rinse repeat until all reps are done.
There was also a 20 minute timer on this. All pax finished just under the 20 minutes mark.

Next Phase
All pax line up in an Indian run format. The 6 will do 5 squats. We run for a minute then do a minute of an exercise. 8 rounds.

The exercises were
Bent over rows
Lunges
Big boy sit ups
Burpee jump overs.

Did this right up until 6:00am.

Theme today was motivation. Do you rush through to get the reps done…do you take your time and try to run out the clock. Or do you have a consistent approach that maximizes your effort and results. Only you know.

Thanks to Brawny for the opportunity to lead!

Next, we each picked a stone and performed the following exercises in cadence: Curls, shoulder press, and bend over rows. Short lap around the parking lot.
Next, Dora with stone, 100 shoulder press, 200 squats, 300 chest presses.
We ended with a man-maker accumulator. Man-Maker at parking space line, +1 at each addition line. Partner 1 did MM, while Partner 2 ran, switch out.
