The Quest for the Giant Bluefin Tuna continues!

Great workout today that will certainly help with mental toughness and overall output.

1. Every Minute on the minute (EMOM)

Odd minutes- 12 Wall Balls + 5 Toes to Bar (T2B)

Even Minutes- 12 Kettlebell Swings @ 70 pounds + 5 T2B

14 Minutes

 

2. 2 mile hill run

 

Great workout and great format.  The 12+5 was perfect for this.  Both exercises allowed for the reps to be easily completed in the first few minutes but became progressively harder as the workout went on.  It was possible to complete if you were going at max intensity. 

Love this format and I really love the EMOM workouts which are essentially an interval workout

Have a great weekend

I had the opportunity to be an intern coach at SealFit 20x at the SLTC facility this weekend.  Having graduated  SealFit Kokoro 30 and surviving 20 hours in Goruck Selection, this training was not new to me.  However, coaching was different. 

Kokoro changed my life and I learned lessons that I use everyday for success in my business, family and personal relationships.  I learned lessons that didn't really sink in for a year.  I am so grateful for that experience.

The opportunity to be on the other side of the training is one that I enjoy because I learn more as a coach than I did as a student.  Thank you to SealFit, SLTC and the students of this class for letting me be a part of it.  The entire finishing class are studs in my book.  You showed up, overcame your doubt and fear and accomplished 20x more than you believed was possible. 

I lead the group through our Gratitude exercise and Stillwater.  Unfortunately for them, the event was not over and it broke into chaos shortly after.  I recommend slowly coming back to consciousness rather than getting hit with a hose...

Beep Test/Front Squat

/

Beep Test today. 

See this post and this one for our previous Beep Tests and a video of how to do it and our exact recording that we listened to.

Very simple...Start a 20 meter shuttle run when the beep sounds.  Turn around and come back on the next beep.  Continue as long as you are able.

Top times were Jimmy and Josh coming in on the first heat in the low 11 to 11.3 and Rusty getting 11.4 and me with 11.8, my new PR.  Mike Drew threw a shoe in the late 10's because of the new super grippy driveway and was out.  It was unfortunate because I think that Mike can get into the 12th round pretty easily.

We did 2 groups.  Group 1 did the Beep Test while Group 2 did

Front Squat 5-4-3-2-1

By the Way, here are some before and after shots of the driveway.

Before

  

 

 

AFTER

 

I added sand to the mix for super grip.  We havent tried Bear Crawls yet or pushing the sled...

I hope it is not too aggressive.  I can promise you that no one is going to slip on this driveway!
