An Original

Today I decided to pull out the first functional strength workout that I put together on my own. :-) I think I did pretty good with it...you be the judge and give it a try.

The Original Nut
30 Tire Flips (I simply flip the tire 30 times)
30 Wall Balls
30 GHD Wall Balls (since we don't have the GHD, we do these off the edge of our tire and tuck our feet under the rim of the tire.
30 KTE

3 to 5 rounds (as time or energy permits)

I made it through 4 rounds (120 reps of each exercise) before my time ran out. I could have pushed through the 5th round but I would have been late for church. It was a GREAT work out that I can't complain about!


Clark combined two workouts this afternoon.

Deadlift Breathing Ladder at 225#. He laddered up to 13 and then because of time had to stop. He had plenty of juice left and could have kept going if time weren't an issue. When performing a deadlift breathing ladder, you start with a single dead lift followed by one deep breath. Next, you do two deadlifts followed by 2 deep breaths. Each time you add another deadlift and breath to your ladder.

After his ladder, Clark did a new workout called The Magic Fifty, that consisted of

5 snatches on each arm (10 total)
5 swings on each arm (10 total)
10 burpees

5 rounds with no rest
