Parachute and Hula Hoop

Parachute and Hula Hoop

Nothing is new with the good old Tweet and Meet, however things are getting serious when there is a new channel on Slack called, “TweetandMeat”. Either way, I offered to Q to test out some of the gear that my house has acquired. Invite went out on slack (missed the tweet part) and 8 dudes answer the 5:15 buzzer and of we went.

Did I forget to say it was cold….it was!

I created a workout with most of the gear from my garage, but with a few more peices from the Pax prior to the workout, we kept busy for 60 mins. Here is what we did:

9 Stations that we were able to rotate almost 3 x’s. Tabata formate- 45 sec on 20 sec of to switch and catch your breath.

1. Partner Work –
   1. 120lb sand bag carry for 45 sec / alternating arms
   2. Man Maker Sand tube 50lb hold for 5sec at the top
2. Hairburner / Flutter w/ 25lb weight over head
3. Lat Pulls or Lawn Mower- single hand (Left than R)
4. Battle rope / weighted Hula hoop
5. Agility ladder (x2) Walk the ladder with feet on disks / Cross over Merkins
6. Battle rope / jump rope
7. Slosh tube curls 30lb / Golbet squat 50kb
8. Parachute sprint / Farmer Carry 40lb KB

2 intermissions with Ab work during the 1st and second set: Protractor, American Hammer, box cutter and a few more were called

That was all folks

Announcements / COT

If you see Stump Hugger out in the gloom, give the dude some knuckles. First for coming back out after some injury, but today he told me his mother in law was having surgery to help with her heart, Approximately a 6 hr procedure. The family has asked for some thoughts and prayers

Wild Turkey for the take out…well said!

• That was fun. Sure I was conducting a top secret test of my home gear on Pax who answered the request…hope you enjoyed it
• This was a high intensity vs heavy, hope you got your moneys worth
• There was a hula hoop and if you figured it out, that was a solid ab workout. I have had practice since it is my M’s and I opening mocked her when she bought it. However, it was odd, but IMO effective. A few guys rocked it
• There was a parachute. I have had this for a long time and never used it, could not find the right Q. I am 50/50 on it. Purell put on a weight vest to and ran around the lot…still fast
• I think the slosh tub is a crowd favorite. Something about the water moving back and fourth while curling
• No real moments other then what I witness with my partner General- dude did everything with intensity, good work.
• Thanks again who offer and brought gear. This format of asking who can commit and then using the gear worked. You run the risk should the person FS or alarm fail, but that is all part of the plan.
