So, the tuesday workout was done in a way which is best described with the word “mneh”.
To make up for that we will do better today, today is tire-flipping day! (Also; tire-dragging)

Quick summary of tuesday:

In about 50 minutes of active workout we crammed these sections in:

1, Pre-exhaustion. We carried oil-drums at moderate speed out to the clear-cutting and then across a 50m patch of horrible swamp-like terrain.

2, Torture. Three part excercise, one person did loads with and oil drum, one did long jumps onto high rock, one did short, fast jumps onto the lower part of the rock. We did this for about 5 minutes, and then cycled for three sets.

3, Functional training. For about 15 minutes we all cycled between handstands and shot-puts (with large rock).

4, Explosive. We found a way larger rock, maybe three meters tall and simply ran up it from one end, turn around and ran back over it to the starting point. We did this at maximum possible speed in immmediate succesion of each other for about 10 minutes.

5, Post-exhaustion. We carried the oil-drums back to the house, at a higher speed this time.

So, whats the progress? Well, this time we had no problems jumping backwards of the rock onto the tree-stump we use as starting point. We didnt fall, we were quite secure in our footing. Our handstands are improving fast, although none of us is very good at walking on them yet..

It wasnt all good though, we were all in a bad shape, tired, malnourished and so on. We should have planned better, we definetly saw some lack of commitment and some heavy fatigue.

But enough about tuesday, today we will make up for it by putting brutes strength to work on moving our big-ass tire and whatever else we can figure out to do. By the way, if anyone wonders about our seemingly random workout patterns then rest assured they are intentional. We believe that any excercise pattern, however hard and murderous, will soon force the body to adapt. This means less weardown on muscle, and thereby also less recovery gains for your muscles. If you want to know more, read some of Jeff Anderssons material on “Hyper-adaptive cycling”.

Btw, did you see our box.net widget on the right side of the blog? Pictures will be popping upp there now an then, keep an eye out!
