CONDITIONS: Darkish with increasing lightishness, clear, 80 degrees; 635% humidity (its South Carolina, people!)
9 members of The Herd gathered in the Jumanji Jungle to get better. Having seen some mentions of this workout called The Grinder on Twitter, I figured we would give it a try this warm, humid June morning. Of course, what caught my attention about this particular workout was the name. Grinder, I mean anything named after a Judas Priest song can be nothing less than EPIC!!
So, listen along to the Priest as you read.
Mosey along the path for COP:
- 25 SSH (IC)
- 25 LBCs (IC)
- 25 Squats (IC)
- 20 Arm Circles – 10 forward 10 backwards (IC)
- 15 Merkins (IC)
- 20 TTT (IC)
- 20 Windmills (IC)
THE THANG:
Break into groups of 3, each group grab 1 cinder block and mosey to baseball outfield (noting that the field was lite up for my Q – and some guy mumbling something about building it and somebody will come…yada, yada). YHC explains the logistics:
#TheGrinder
P1 will start with the cinder block at right field foul post . P2 will start at Point B (left field foul post). P3 will start beside P1. When P1 starts the exercise, P3 will sprint to P2 and take over his exercise. P2 then sprints to P1 and takes over his exercise. P2 sprints to P3…..
Each team of three will perform the following exercises, only keeping count of exercise that uses cinder block:
200 Overhead Press with Cinder Block – Point B will to Squats (plank when done and wait for the 6)
200 Curls with cinder block – Point B will do Merkins (plank when done and wait for the 6)
200 Squats with cinder block – Point B will do Flutter Kicks (plank when done and wait for the 6)
300 Chest Press with cinder block – Point B will do Carolina Dry Docks (plank when done and wait for the 6)
(sadly, we ran out of time before we could get to this last step) 50 Burpees with cinder block – Point B will do Smurf Jacks (plank when done and wait for the 6)
Mosey back to main parking lot and finish out with WALKER STRONG.
