Training programs
  • S.E.R.E. Workout

    Wear a 50lb Ruck. Ruck around DC for 14.5 hours (10pm - 12:30pm the next day). Log approximately over 20 miles. Make sure you stop and do plenty of low crawling any and everywhere (National Mall, rivers, creeks, and mud tunnels). Also for good measure throw in a couple hundred each of burpees, pushups, situps, flutter kicks, squats, and lunges.

  • Bear Complex Workout

    3 Sets of the following sequence:
    1 Power Clean
    1 Front Squat
    1 Push Press
    1 Back Squat
    1 Push Press

  • Mutant Makers and Other Bad Ideas Workout

    After yesterday’s WOD, Desforges, my body is just a bit tired and my hands are thrashed, all of which made today’s WOD a little more fun. Yeah. More fun. That’s the ticket.

    Warm Up:
    2x
    15 Squats
    10 Russian Kettle Bell Swings (52 LBs)
    50 Single Jump Ropes

    Mobility:
    Foam roller on lower back
    Pain ball on gluteus and feet
    Sit in squat 2 minutes

    Endurance:
    21 Rep Max Back Squats
    21 reps completed at 205 LBs

    MetCon:
    40 Mutant Makers* at 95 LBs

    Bad Idea Number 1: Mutant Maker (Dead Lift -> Hang Power Clean -> Thruster). They seem so innocuous when you get started and then, somewhere in the teens, it all goes to hell in a hand basket (having done 21 heavy back squats prior to the MetCon certainly did not help).

    Bad Idea Number 2: When making a late night run to the airport and stopping at the grocery store just before it closes, it is NOT a good idea to get the dozen mixed donuts boxed and sold for $2.99. SUCH a bad idea … I’d like to apologize to all my friends at the box this morning for my, er, well let’s just go with ‘stinkiness’.

    Notes: Was pretty gassed during WOD, but took to many breaks. Was able to do 6th round cleans 5 & 5, last set was 3,3,4. Need to push harder. I don't know what magic potion I had this morning, but D/U's just flowed. Got, 25 unbroken almost every set, hit 35 2x, and 39! Remember to do them on mat and jump when you hear the rope hit the mat.
