DROOL

Dumbbells, Rocks, Odd Object Lifts. The idea here is to get a variety of ungainly, heavy things and lift each of them for a few reps for several sets. Today we DROOLed with a 70 lb KB (Alyse used 52), a 75 lb sandbag (35), a 100 lb log, (65 lb DB) a 60 lb slam ball and SPUDs. SPUDs is Swinging Push Ups and Dips. Boxes fore and aft a set of rings hung at hip height and you do a pushup, swing your legs through and do a dip...that's one. On this set of DROOL we did 4 reps of everything for 3 laps. Waaaaay harder than it sounds.

Our "log" is a 24" section of plumbing pipe with four 25 lb plates secured in the middle with screw down collars. On the ends are T-joints so you can hold the bar with a palms facing grip. The plates act as a log would in keeping the weight just far enough away to make the lift very awkward.

After we DROOLed we did Rage Ball Kick Ups. Tractor tire behind you and a slam ball in front. Do a burpee to the ball kicking your feet up onto the tire. Do a pushup and then collapse your knees so that you have your shoelaces on the tire. Keep your back straight and core tight and extend your quads so that you go up into a handstand...a short, ugly and unbalanced one for sure but what you want is to just weight your shoulders for a couple seconds. Pull your feet under you and do a squat clean, thruster the ball up into the air, catch it, press it, slam it, repeat. Do 10 as fast as you can.

Eugene 1:28
Stuart 1:35
Alyse 2:09

After that we did two killer ab moves. I put a tire up on a box and then a Pilates ball in the tire. Butt on the forward part of the ball and then stretch yourself over it and grab something solid at or near the height of your butt on the other side of the ball. With your legs straight pull your feet up and launch them into the air extending your hips and rotating a bit. We did 3 sets of 10. Then to the VASA swim trainer for what amounts to backwards ab roller movements. On the second and thirds set Stuart and I put a 30 lb ball between our legs. Six months ago Alyse couldn't do any, today she did 3 sets of 10 with most unassisted.

Bob had to do some body recovery today up on Mt. Rainier and had to do a 6 mile hike into and then back out of a very difficult area over, through, around and under some gigantic trees. He was with Micah who is crazy fit (CrossFit that is) and Bob kept up with him. Micah remarked at how fit Bob had become and told him to thank me. He did. CrossFit works.

Hop Push Pull

Put two big tires out and on the long axis of the tires put a barbell loaded to a clean weight. We used 135 lbs. On the short axis put a pair of dumbells loaded to thruster weight, 45 lbs. On the start signal hop into and out of one of the tires to the barbell and do 5 cleans. Run to the end opposite the dumbbells and hop in and out of both sets of tires and do 5 thrusters. That pair of exercises is one set, do 5 sets.

Big Phat Helen

Run 800
21 swings with a 52 lb KB
12 pullups

The next 4 runs are 400 with the same swing and pullup numbers.

Jennifer 26:13 36/jumping pullups
Alyse 30:04 44, 36 on #5/grn band

Six months ago this workout would have taken Stuart 47 minutes or so, his cardio improvement has been that significant. He is much stronger than me and I can only beat him in things with an endurance base. He smokes me now in the strength based events. He can pull so hard on the rowing machine he torques the fan housing and makes the rower move across the floor a bit.

Tuesday March 6, 2007

Three of us drug a tire up to the gate (100 yards or so uphill) by a rope walking the slack out and then pressing the tire forward. On the return we walked the slack out backwards and then did a lat pull, tricep extension.

At the same time three other rotated through a tire flip such that the flipper jumped through, the #2 jumped through and the 3rd became the flipper rotating each time.

The tire dragger/pullers were a bit faster each time so we would hit the big tire with a sledgehammer until the flippers returned.

Next three of us drug tires to the mailbox while three others carried heavy sandbags. We dumped our gear at the mailbox then ran to Jennifer's house for 15 pushups and 15 squats and returned to our own piece of gear. Once back at the starting point we switched gear and did it again.

Broad jump x 10
Walking lunges the rest of the way to the mail boxes
Caraoke about 50 yards, switch sides for 50 more yards
On the way back we did high knee runs for 40 yards, buttkickers for 40 more

Power snatch 75 lbs x 3

There were 7 of us so to make things easy I set up 7 events. The idea was to do all your reps and then rotate as a group. Didn't work out that way the first time and we messed up the rotation and after dwoing the two hardest exercises...for me...the power clean and the thrusters we decided to just start over again. Tough one. When we were done we did the following ab workout for 2 sets of 8 reps each.

Knees to elbows
DB situps and press (25)
Hollow rock
Back extensions on GHD
Ab roller
Leg shooters/leg throws
