Bucket Brigade
17 PAX had no idea what they were getting into at Chiseled this morning. I always find it fun to think of new ways to stretch ourselves as a PAX. With Zinfandel holding the record of least used gear in a gear workout, I thought I would go the other direction with the introduction of 40lb buckets full of concrete. According to Deadwood, the back of my truck was dragging from all the extra weight that was about to be hauled around Five Stones Church for the shear enjoyment of a great workout.
Let’s MOSEY:
Take a lap to the front Entrance of the Church and all the way back to the start to ensure we were nice and warm on a cold morning
- Side Straddle Hop X 20
- Potato Pickers X 10
- Calf Stretch for a 10 count on each leg
- Merkins X20
- Mountain Climbers X 20
The Thang-
- Mosey to the buckets and pair up
- Bucket Run – Partner Run the Length of the parking lot while handing off the bucket at each line in the parking lot
- Plank at the end of the parking lot waiting for the six
- Repeat Trip Back to the Beginning transitioning buckets every other line
- Plank while waiting for the six
- Bucket Squats
- One partner squats while holding the bucket while the other partner runs half the parking lot X 3
- One partner Bucket Curl to Press while the other Runs half the parking lot X 2
- One Partner Deadlift the bucket while the other runs half the parking lot X3
- One Partner reverse lunge to bucket lift while the other runs half the parking lot X2
- One Partner does elevated hand merkins on the bucket while the other runs half the parking lot X2
- Finish with Bucket Curl Burnout while your partner does LBC’s.
COT
At the end of the workout, the buckets became Phuckets with 2.5 miles of running and plenty of muscle work with 40 lbs of concrete. There was substantial whining about the required lifting and the finger pain from those who usually lift a wine glass. Fortunately, I have stored the buckets at the Chiseled site for anyone who wishes to add the weight to future workouts.
