Hollow AMRAP Trial Run and Development

It was a great morning to put in work at The Hollow!  YHC planned a workout around the development stages of a new AMRAP.  We’ll still resurrect The Tomcat from time to time, but the men of The Hollow are ready for a new challenge. 8 PAX showed up this morning to give it a go.  Tweaks are inevitable, but what we did this morning turned out to be a pretty good beatdown.  Fun was had by all!

Mosey back to starting line (Block Pile Area)

Due to the time it took to complete the 1st round – Approximately 28 minutes – we made some changes for round 2.

  • Station 1 (Blocks Pile) – Changed the block ladder to Thrusters x 11
  • Station 2 (Tennis Courts) – No changes
  • Station 3 (Planter Box) – No changes
  • Station 4 (Tomcat Stairs) – Changed from 21 reps to 11 and reduced lap of ramp from 2 to 1
  • Station 5 (Breezeway) – No changes

The changes reduce the amount of time it took to complete the round from 28 minutes to 18 minutes.

YHC thinks it’s possible for the fast guys to complete over 3 rounds.  Each station will count as .1 point.  So if you complete 3 rounds and two stations your score would be 3.2.

There’s a good bit of running in this AMRAP.  YHC logged 2.5 miles in 40 minutes of work.

We didn’t want to start another round with 10 minutes remaining.  Here’s what we did in the final 10 minutes:

  • Curls x 50
  • Thrusters x 15
  • Block Swings x 21

Moleskin:  Good times out there this morning men!  Looking forward to tweaking this workout a little with the help of The Hollow PAX and run through it again at full speed.  Should be fun to track our progress.  Had some thoughts about the AMRAP name.  The Legend – derived from campus Legend and Legend of Sleepy Hollow.  Also thought of “Glory Days” – derived from glory days of playing sports and other activities from our high school days.  Looking forward to hearing some of your suggestions for our new AMRAP name.
