Mae West

Put a couple of tractor tires side by side and arrange various implements around them. I put D-Balls in the two creases where the tires come together for Tire Rage. I also have a hex bar for DL and tire jumps, a barbell loaded for clean and jerks and another for snatches. A pair of KB's for thrusters and a pair of dumbbells for Colleen and Jerk. I use this as a warm up with 3 laps around and two of each exercise. You could up the reps and sets and make it a crushing workout.

Ring Dips
KB Swing

Reps of 15-12-9 for time

Micah in 7:35 with this comment on the board:

Apparently the fact that breathing is a necessity for living wasn't taken into consideration when "Olivia" was constructed. HOLY CRAP! After the first set of 15 (ea. exercise) I had to stop during each set. I couldn't catch my breath. My lungs and chest wall were competing for space. It was a turf war. Lungs won.

Mae West

Two big tires side by side (thus the name) with the following implements surrounding them:

At the crease where the two tires touch are 25 lb D-balls. The indent of the tires allows for a space for your head when you do burpees and you jump one foot on each tire.

Looking at the tires like a pair of headlights at 1 o'clock on the right tire is the hex bar loaded to 200 lbs for DL and tire jump. At 5 o'clock is a pair of 36 lb kettlebells for clean-squat-thruster. At 7 o'clock is one of the D-balls. Around 8 o'clock on the left tire is a 115 lb barbell for clean and jerk, At 10 o'clock is 75 lbs for the snatch at 12 o'clock is a pair of 35 lb dumbbells for Colleen and jerk with a burpee and then in the crease is the other D-Ball.

Two laps around is a great warm up, more for a full on workout.

Met Con 2

Met Con 2 is Runny Cindy which we did down at the February Cert. Down there we did a 600 yard run but mine is 400 just because that's how far it is to Jennifer's house at the end of the block. Run 400 then do 5 sets of 5 pullups, 10 pushups and 15 squats and repeat this 3 times.

Met Con 1

I am starting a list of metabolic conditioning workouts and the first one is Met Con 1. I would suppose the next one will be Met Con 2. We did Colleen and Jerk with a barbell (one squat clean with 3 jerks) for 6 reps, and then drug a tire about 70 yards to the mailbox. Dump the tire harness and do 10 pushups, run 70 more yards and do 10 hollow rocks and 70 more to Jennifer's driveway and do 10 squats. Run back to your tire harness and drag it back to the start and hit the big tire with a sledgehammer for 20 reps, then jump on the tire 10 times and start over. Do this 3 times and you will cures tire manufacturers before you are through.

Band Levers

Hook a pair of Iron Woody or similar bands to an overhead support, a pullup bar is what I used, set up so the bottom is about chest high. I used green bands. Put your feet about a foot back from the bands, hold one in each hand and fall forward supporting your weight with your arms extended in line with your body. You will fall forward but you must keep a tight, hollow position with a slight parenthesis shape ( so that you don't fold hips to floor. To get back up pike at the hips and press your hands down into the bands. Avoid using your arm strength but use your core strength instead. Don't come all the way back up but rather keep your weight on your toes never letting your heels contact the ground once you begin. The longer you stay extended out over the bands, the farther you go down toward the ground, the less you push with your arms and the less time you spend in the up position the more effective the exercise becomes.
