COUNT: 6
YHC was rolling in hot due to poorly timed stop lights to find LOTS of cars. One can imagine how excited I was as Ol Dusty Trail was slated for the December 30-4-30. The TABADA course was set up while introductions were made, and the plan was laid bare for all to behold. Much joy was expressed for jump squats.
WARMUP:
Apologies for the lack of warm-ups, as YHC wanted to get through everything and leave time for a full discussion! So, PAX were thrown directly into the fire! TBH, I think everyone was fine with that to keep the cold at bay!
THE THANG:
25-minute timer, working through a repeating 0:40 work/0:20 recover routine. PAX started at different stations and rotated after each set. YHC had 5 stations planned, and when the PAX count came in at 6, the jump squats were added…the full list of movements were:
– Tower of Power: a personal fav. Merkin climb up two cinderblock where one merkin performed per hand movement up / down the coupon hole…8 count cycle.
– sumo deadlift w/ 60# sandbag
– WW3 sit ups: with coupon on your 6. press, sit up, shoulder press, back down.
– Overhead coupon hold w/ flutter kicks
-Walking lunges
– Squat Jumps
Four full cycles were made with everyone doing their station 1 5 times.
