Workout of the Day, May 28, 2012

Ensure a good sweaty warm up. Follow up with joint mobility head to toe. Consider bear crawl, butt kickers and high knees as part of your warm up.

Part 1
3 Rounds
6-10 pull ups
5 push ups
10 squats
10 back ext

Part 2
This is a partner workout.
50 Burpees
50 tire flips
50 wall balls
100 jump ropes
100 sit ups

For all but the tire flips only one person will work at a time. The numbers posted are a total per team. Figure out how you want to break the reps down, for example do 10 sets of 5 for the 50 rep movements. Each person must do half the reps.

 There are a couple different options which can be employed for the tire flips. One guy can stand on each side and they can flip it back and forth. The other option is that both guys stand on the same side and flip the tire over together. Remember to lean into the tire and use your legs.

TB
All the same.
Only difference is your reps are
15 for the 50s

Stretch after. Actually take the time to do this. Water is your friend.

"Roof Ladder O'Hell"

Sled Drag at end of each round 1-2-3-4-3-2-1 (see below)

For the sled drag, place 2 cones 20 paces apart. Add 3 45# plates. After your 1st round of 21 do 1 there and back with the sled, on the 19 do 2 there and backs, continue on to 4, pulling the sled after each round. After the round with the 4 there and backs, go to 3, 2 then 1.

For the box jumps, do box jumps with a 2 foot take off. A substitute for this is to do step ups, but I would like you to come to a complete stand at the top of the box.

After stretch bum, hamstrings and legs. Spend a minimum of 15 sec per hold.

Water is your friend.

For the run: 87 & 89 twice around. 88 3 times around the building.
For the tire lift. Position your back like a dead lift but with a wider stance. Pick it up driving with the legs, all the while leaning into the tire, kneeing the tire can help keep the momentum moving to get it up, then flip it over. Practice in the warm up.

Spend any remaining time stretching.

TB

3 rounds
Run once around 89
2 tire flips
5 burpees
20 sit ups

Focus on being warm before. You can sub sandbag ground to shoulder instead of tire flips,but try the tire flips when warm before the workout first so you can see how they feel. If subbin sandbag, do 10 reps.

“R.I.T”

Warm up with a light run, row, bike, skip or step. Follow up with some joint mobility and light and fast stretching.

Set up 2 cone 25 paces (meters) apart.

This is a partner workout. All the reps have to be complete and is a total for both people. You can break the reps down however you want, but do not move on to the next movement until you complete all of the previous movement. For example, do all the squats before moving onto the push ups. Only one of the partners may be working at once. Each partner should do half the total of reps.

In between each movement piggyback your partner. Do not run, be wise and take care of each other. Partners carry an equal distance.

100 Squats

Partner carry, 2 there and backs

80 push ups

Partner carry, 2 there and backs

60 sit ups

Partner carry, 2 there and backs

40 Shoulder presses (use 15-35# dumbbells or a total of 75# on a barbell)

Partner carry, 2 there and backs

20 Dead lifts  (95-135#)

An alternative for this if you are doing it alone is to half the number of reps and rest as needed. The partner carry can be substituted with walking that distance holding a dumbbell in each hand (45-55#) and only do one there and back.

If there is time after, do core work. Pick any you like.

8 rounds

40 seconds of work and 20 seconds of rest

Post, stretch shoulders, glutes, and lower back.
