The Thang
YHC is a fan of Jocko Willink, as are many other pax in F3LakeMurray. This week, I re-listened to his guest host presentation on Tim Ferriss’ podcast wherein he described his typical workout routine:
-Pull
-Push
-Lift
-Squat
-Metabolic (Running/Heart Rate Up)
-Gut
Willink is at least 45 years old and is in fantastic shape. So, what he does in the way of focused exercise obviously works for him.

Seeking to emulate the pattern described above, YHC crafted a workout that touched on all these areas.
After COP, run (faster than a mosey, but not sprint) from parking lot, down lower driveway, onto road, and back up upper driveway to block pile. Plank on the 6.
Grab blocks. Take blocks to playground.
Pull
Platoon with another pax.
10 pull-ups, alternating with platooned pax. Assist partner as needed.
Rinse and repeat 3x for a total of 30x pull ups.
Take blocks to handball field. Drop blocks. Line up. Run across the fields from the playground side to the train track side and back. Get heart rate up. Stand by direction re: new movements.
Push
Alternating with your partner, do 15 merkins. Good ones.
Rinse and repeat 3x for a total of 45x pull ups.
Line back up. Run across the fields and back. Stand by for direction re: new movements.
Lift
With your blocks:
Curls (20x)
Rows (20x)
Overheads (20x)

Rinse and repeat 3x for a total of 60x each exercise.
Line back up.
