Conditioning and a Posterior Chain Emphasis Circuit

This is the workout for 8/30/2010.

In general, another major conditioning workout. The exercise circuit this time emphasized the posterior chain…so the hamstrings, glutes and low back were hit hard.

Of course the exercise/sprint combos weren’t easy at all. Nor were the exercise/suicide combos.

Yep we achieved another hard workout. One work repeating in the future!

Music: Jackyl. T-shirt: Green Eggs and Ham. My favorite Dr Suess book.

Warm Up: Sleds. Yeah they can be hard. They certainly were when we first started doing them…even with only one plate.  Now a one plate (45 or 25 pounds) sled is just a warm up. So we did 3 x 25 yards.
