Tabata Torture

Tabata Torture

10 PAX got pumped this morning with a few tunes, a little tabata, and some doubles.

THE THANG

• SSH x25
• IW x20
• enough…

Tabata — 2 minutes of work with 30 seconds rest (to the sounds of Pandora/Van Halen)

• 1-Hand Swings, alternating
• Snatch
• Press
• 2-Hand Swings
• Clean
• Squat

Rinse and repeat entire cycle.

Doubles — find a partner with like-sized bell; P1 lifts while P2 does x25 core work; flapjack

• P1 = Double Swings,   P2 = sit-ups
• P1 = Double Cleans,   P2 = Dolly
• P1 = Double Press,   P2 = LBC
• P1 = Double Squat,   P2 = Flutter
• P1 = Double High Pull,   P2 = Freddy Mercury

Just enough time for:

• Flutter Presses x15
• Dying Cockroach w/Bell x10

NAKED MOLESKIN

YHC shamelessly stole this workout from a recent Fletch-Q’ed Meathead event. It turned out to be even harder than it looked on paper. The 2-minute work period seemed ten times as long as the 30-second rest period. The PAX pushed through, although there were a few groans when we began the tabata cycle for a second time.

The dynamic duo of Chanel and Brown again led the charge, swinging more weight for longer periods than most. Madame T always brings it, but I think he had special motivation today to buff up for his beach trip. Teddy really stepped up and showed YHC how to swing the double-45’s. Time for a new bell, Teddy.

Not much mumble-chatter throughout this workout, with the exception of Ol’ Man Frehley, who was on his usual game (you all know what I mean…).

It was an honor to lead.
