Find a new partner and wait for instructions.

One partner jogs to the line and back, while the other partner exercises on the ground. Switch when you get back.

When you and your partner finish your reps, don’t hold a plank. I recommend that you either stand around lazily, or find a pair who hasn’t finished the exercise and donate some reps to help them reach their goal.

Intro to the pace clock

Another great turnout at The Vulcan on a cool morning (for mid-August in Alabama). We introduced a new toy for the workout inspired by my former swimming career – a pace clock.  I purposefully kept the PAX off the ground until the end so that the sweat from the hard work would not be mistaken for wet grass.

Warm-up

15x Side Straddle Hop

20x Imperial Walker

Mosey a lap

From a line up:

High knees across the field, back pedal back

Kick your butt, bac pedal back

Frankenstein/Lunge, back pedal back

Run at 60%, back pedal back

Run at 80%, back pedal back

Run as fast as you can stand, mosey back

 

The Thang: ON THE CLOCK

Every Minute on the Minute: 9x small loop (about 200 yards)

Descend your time and increase your effort from the 1st to the 3rd lap, the 4th to 6th , then 7th to 9th. The 9th should be your fastest.

 

For 11 minutes:

TABATA: 20 sec of work, 10 sec rest

Alternate: 1 minute Box Jumps, 1 minute mtn climbers

 

For 9 minutes:

Every Minute on the Minute:

Min 1: 2 Burpees

Min 2: 3 Burpees

Min 3: 5 Burpees

Min 4: 7

Min 5: 9

Min 6: 11

….Min 9: 15

if you miss, you plank. **Interval was interrupted because the flag fell. All PAX did 20 burpees during the 5th and 6th min. It was a killer.

 

Until next time –

38 PAX – on a SCAM-less morning, men stepped up to motivate and encourage.

6 FNG’s – Amazon, Digiorno, Dufresne, NOVA, WNBA, Yella

WARM UP —

  • SSH x30
  • Merkin x20
  • Squats x25
  • Sit ups x15
  • Run 1 lap

PARTNER UP —

Burpee “mile” – Partners perform 100 yards worth of burpees.  Partner A would perform burpee then leap.  At the end of partner A leap, partner B would perform burpee then leap.  Partners did burpees to the far cones and back.

TABATA Box Jumps

A tabata interval is 30 seconds of work (for a given exercise) with 10 seconds of rest, typically performed for 8 intervals or 4 minutes.  Mosey over to the stage.  PAX performed tabata box jumps – 20 seconds of max rep box jumps on the stage then 10 seconds of rest for 8 intervals.

PARTNER WORK – CONCRETE MASONRY UNITS!

PAX partnered back up at the cones with their cinder blocks (1 per team).

Next phase included 4 exercises:  1) block thrusters, 2) block sit up (lying flat on back, arms fully extended w/ block, perform sit up with arms extended to upright position with arms fully extended overhead in a press position), 3) hand release merkins 4) 100 yd sprint.  Rep scheme was “10!”.

  • 10 block thrusters
  • 10 block sit ups
  • 10 HR merkins
  • sprint to far cones and back
  • 9 block thrusters
  • 9 block sit ups
  • 9 HR merkins
  • spring to far cones and back
  • 8 block thrusters
  • 8 block sit ups
  • 8 HR merkins……..and so on, down to 1

One partner would work at a time, while the other rested.  Partners rotate through the exercises.  Partner A would do 10 thrusters, partner B 10 sit ups, partner A 10 merkins.  Then sprint together.  Partner B 9 thrusters, partner A 9 situps, partner B 9 merkins and continue to rotate accordingly down to 1.
