So the workout yesterday was barbell specific, so not much to breakdown for you. We did power cleans and then burpies for about 30 minutes pretty much nonstop. Killer.
However, I realize they have this concept of a "buy-in" where before you can start the routine, you have to "buy-into it" by doing something else once around beforehand. So, the buy-in yesterday were these damn things called wall walks...holy shit.
WALL WALK - Start in a push-up position with the bottoms of your feet touching a wall. Do one push-up from there, then slowly start to climb/walk your feet up the wall as you hand walk backwards towards the wall. Make sure your chest touches the wall (and keep your hands somewhat in front of you so you don't fall over) then walk back down to the starting push-up position. That's one rep.
We partnered up yesterday and had to do reps as a team. So me and this other guy had to crank out 30 wall walks. I did 5, he did 5, I did 3, he did 4, then it was like 3-5 each until we totalled 30. THEN we were allowed to start our power cleans and burpies, also as a team. The wall walks were a BITCH, but man, kick ass movement to start a routine. Something for you to try. And, surprisingly, there were little to no issues with balance. I would have thought I'd have a much harder time with balance, but it was never a concern.
That sounds fucking intense!!!
ReplyDeleteOk,so I hit the gym and started off with those "wall walks" lol. Banged out about 10 total, but found it hard to get my chest up to the wall. I then did some box jumps, followed by lunges/shoulder presses, and burpees. Then I did mostly a 10min walk on treadmill (legs were shot).
