Not You Father’s Chiseled Workout



Not You Father’s Chiseled Workout

Closed my eyes at 9:34 pm and reviewed my checklist: Weinke-check, ride-check, gear-check, flag-check, workout clothes set out-check, scratch my balls for 30 minutes-double check. I then fell into a deep sleep. 1:13 open my eyes as I thought I heard my alarm. False alarm. I fall back to sleep. 2:33 am awake again. This time I start to question myself: Did I have a good plan? Would we have enough gear? Would it be challenging? Wonder what Moneyball is wearing right now? (Awkward) Fall back to sleep. 3:47 wake back up. No turning back now. The Q juice was flowing. I laid in bed like a kid on the night before Christmas until the alarm sounded at 4:25am. I sprang out of bed and was ready for Southern Belle for a 4:40 pickup. We are off!!

16 PAX posted for Chiseled today. A handful came for a prerun, and 1 said, “It looks like you set up for Soccer drills” Oh if they only knew the pain they were about to endure.

 

The warm up:

Was a mosey to each set of pain stations. 4 corners with 3 pain stations at each one. Disclaimer was stated at the beginning.

The Thang

We broke it into 4 corners. Each corner had 3 pain stations. PAX would hit one pain station and then run to another corner. You could not choose the same one again until all pain stations were hit once.

Corner 1:

Rope-go as long as you can

Pit of Misery-20 dips and 20 step ups

Steps-Good Mornings-20 reps

 

 

Corner 2:

2 merkin ladders with a bear crawl after each one

Overhead rock walk-walk with rock overhead down to island and back

Tricep extensions: choice of two different weighted dumbells-20 reps

Corner 3:

Run up Mount Chiseled with weight-10 times

Bent Rows 2 choices of weight-20 reps

Front arm raises light weight-20 reps

Corner 4:

Military Press single dumbbell, two choices of weight-20 reps

Curls two choices of weight-20 reps

Weighted Squats two choices of weights-20 reps

 

Moleskin:

We kept to our roots of using gear at Chiseled. We mixed in more running and added music to the corners. 2.29 miles covers along with some serious reps at pain stations.

Welcome Keith Burnette aka Short Circuit.

Favorite Station-Merkin Ladder with Bear Crawl. Some quotes included-“I hate you” “That sucked” “You brought the pain with that one” “That was terrible” SUCCESS!!! Thanks Southern Belle for that one.

There was not a whole lot of talking today as the PAX pushed really hard but when they mustered enough strength to actually say something, it was usually a complaint. (see quotes above) You know it was a tough workout when you get complaining from Hollywood and Old McDonald.

It truly was a pleasure to lead this group of misfits today. We had ages 16 to 59 represented today which was simply amazing to see. It appeared everyone left sore and sweaty.

Thanks Old McDonald for taking us out.
