Charred Iron and Burnt Rubber

Charred Iron and Burnt Rubber

17 SOBs were intrigued by the pictures of tractor tires, weight plates, punching bags and a sledge Hammer piled in the back of my truck and the promise of gear work at Fat Camp. Here’s what we did:

The Thang:

COP: SSH X 15, SSH…I mean IW X 15, Merkins X 15

Count off by six to separate into pain stations. Each PAX will complete each exercise at a pain station before moving on to the next pain station.

Pain Station – Body Weight
• Pull-ups X 10
• Merkins X 30

Pain Station – Sprints
• Sprint down to the entrance and back.

Pain Station – Hair Burners
• Hair Burners down and back X 1

Pain Station – Liftin Heavy Stuff
• Pick up Heavy Bag and carry it 20 yards, Squat X 10 and carry it back

Pain Station – Inch Worms and Overhead Press
• Feet on the Weight Plate and Inch Worms down and Pick up the weight Plate overhead press back

Pain Station – Burnin Rubber
• Beating the tire X 10 Sledge Hammer Swings
• Tire Flips X 10

At 6am, mosey over to the monkey bars for the hanging pull-up challenge
Hang for 60 seconds, do one pull-up; repeat for 10 minutes without getting down. – Scratch that!
Mosey over to the parking lot. Suicides down the parking lot and back.
6MOM – LBCs, Merkins, Dollies, Merkins, Flutters, Merkins
COT

Moleskin:

I pre-tweeted/slacked pics of the gear in my truck and the PAX were interested. The goal was to circle through the pain stations at your own pace (AMRAP). Most guys got 4 laps in before time was called.

There seemed to be an abundance of complaining and whining. I’m gonna take that as a complement. Weight plates are tough. Hairburners are meant to crush you. Inch worms kill the core. You’re welcome.

The hanging pull-up challenge was a complete failure. Or was it??? I’m challenging the men of Fat Camp to add that to the winkie every week. Start with 2 rounds, in a week or 2 add and round and continue to build up. By the end of the year, I’m betting most guys can complete the challenge.

It was great to have Chanel back out in the Gloom. He’s been battling injury and the fartsack for months. Keep posting brother. Modify and needed and don’t let the Fartsack keep you down.

Welcome Spalding! Spalding is a fellow tax bean counter with myself. Great to have you out buddy.

Shout out to Chanel and Pebbles for loaning me some gear.
