Working up to either heavy triples or realy heavy singles with cleans (and jerks if ya wanna). 8-10 sets of 1-3 reps, big rest.
Then let’s flip the tire. 5 sets of 5 flips.
Sorry no pictures yet this week. I’m learnun’ myself how to size them so they don’t take all day to load onto your pooter.
I received this email from our buddy Krista at www.stumptuous.com:
I know you’re always looking for little challenges so here’s one I just invented. I call it The Gauntlet.
You can call it whatever you like: 45 Pickup, Arms O’ Jello, etc.
Get 3 plates: 45, 35, and 25. Start with the 45. Lay it on the floor. […]
Max out on squats from pins (make ‘em low)
Good mornings for reps
Big combo: one-arm snatches (KB’s preferably)/farmer’s walk/club rockets/farmer’s walk/band wood chops/farmer’s walk/band twists/farmer’s walk
Or something like that. Replace anything you don’t know, but keep sticking the farmer’s walk between any choice you make. We went fairly light for the walk, but played with grip, […]
Max Bench Press with chains
Narrow grip press from pins: 55-60% of max, 20 reps, as long as it takes
Dumbbell combo: Pushup rows/burpees/push press. 5 sets of 5 reps for time.
Last night some of the Bodytribe team headed over to the Crest Theater to see the premiere of Power Unlimited, a new powerlifting documentary by Iron […]
With the same pair of fairly heavy kettlebells (no messin’ around):
Bent over row
High pull
Swings (with both KB’s)
4 sets of 6 reps, non-stop.
Bent over rows…..
… High pulls …
… and swing.
Quick recap of this weekend’s October Creepy Art show
Above and below: Nicolas Caesar and his collection of Scary Art (www.scary-art.com)
Omar Arason and his massive painting (it should be seen in person)
The amazing experimental project called Art Lessing
Deadlift with bands for speed: 12 sets of 3 reps, 30 seconds rest between sets. Roughly a third of your max on the bar, plus bands.
One-arm barbell snatch/windmills for reps: 2 sets of 6, increase weight, 2 sets of 3, then a really heavy single if you wanna keep playing.
Turkish get up/sled drag or farmer’s […]
The name for this combo is “gettin’ stupid,” because it is simply the result of ridiculous experimentation. Try it…
KB incline press with bands/kb bent rows with bands (see below): go for heavy reps and match the row with the press. 4 sets, with bonus sets for trying heavier weight.
Strap pushups/pullups: like with rings, but we’re […]
So we’re rerunning the Hip combo from last week, trying to beat our squat max. Look down to Oct 2nd for combo.
Meanwhile, our other challenge today is to find homes for these guys:
Meet Woo Shoo, Mai Tai, Won Ton and Bob.
Through a series of events, these little guys are homeless. Between 4-6 weeks, very playful, […]
Dan John inspired this one, and Tribe member Brent popularized it within Bodytribe.
Basic: 400 meter run, KB swing for 15 reps (easier) or 20 reps (harder). 4 rounds for time.
Bonus versions: add pullups, burpees or just pushups.
400 meters at Bodytribe starts at the back of the gym, through the front door and around half the […]
