Nothing too crazy here. Just a solid 15:00 session before supper. I took out the 16, 24, and 32 kg competition bells (as that’s about all I have left after lending the rest out to teammates haha) and did clean and presses and loaded carries. First, I hit the double kettlebell clean and presses. I […]

Loaded Carry Medley: Work Capacity At Its Finest
This is one of my mainstays. Pick five different objects, carry each for 100 meters, and repeat for two rounds – one kilometer of non-stop fun. Bonus points if you wear your ruck throughout. Today was two sixty pound sandbags, two cinder blocks, a 110-pound sandbag, the yoke with a 25-pound plate dangling from each […]

Short, Fast Hill Repeats
We switched up our Saturday hills today. After rucking to a shorter, steeper hill, we did a 5-second hill sprint (25 meters) every 30 seconds for 15:00. This allowed for just enough time to walk back down the hill and regroup before sprinting again. My heart rate stayed aerobic the entire time, yet I was […]

All you’re going to do is a Bear Complex (power clean/front squat/push press/back squat/push press) for ten rounds, with a 100-meter sandbag carry after each back squat. That’s ten […]
