Training Day

With a bit of help from Francis in priming Nicolas for doing some training I finally managed to convince him to come try a 'crossfit' style workout on Sunday. Nicolas also managed to get Erich to come along which was great; it's always better to suffer with more people!

I decided to use the tires as the primary method of torture (just kidding, its not that bad, right guys?) since it is a bit unique from your standard gym workout. Heres what we did:

4 rounds
Tire flip race - loser +10 burpees, 2nd place +5 burpees, winner gets a rest
1 lap tire drag
1 lap overhead tire carry
10 knees to elbows + 10 pushups
After the tire race rotate through the other 3 so each person does all 3 for one round, then add the punishment burpees before starting the next round
Erich finishing a lap on the tire drag.

Its nearly impossible to actually run pulling the tire on the grass.

Nicolas enjoying his time with the overhead carry!

Erich and Nicolas trudging their way back down the field.


First you lift...

Then you flip...

Then you jump.

Punishment burpees

He'll be back.

Francis usually just uses a bike tire.

Travis Holman is a lying bastard. I usually flip him down the paddock for my exercise. Then I carry him overhead back to the beginning.

Francis, the word on the street is that you will only do exercise when there is a mirror. Nicolas said your gym was very "metro-sexual".
