Sunday BRUTAL! Sunday (welcome to our church)

This sunday was by far the most brutal day we have had to date,
I dont know if it was the addition of the heavy ropes or the searing heat that made it such a killer day, this
is the first time I have ever seen Brett flat out on the ground after a circuit, but I have to commend him on his completion of three rounds at 100% I faltered after the 2nd and spent the whole of the 3rd sitting in a drain gasping for air and hiding from the sun! And that was just the first set up!
The rest of the gang all did great and are seriously improving week after week
The 2nd set up consisted of back to back rope and kettlebell drills this time for reps rather than time, which was also challenging especially as we were all brutalized from the first set up.
from now on we will lovingly refer to this workout as THE SLAYER.

                                                                    The Arrival

                                            The Discussion

                                               The Huddle

                                           The Preparation

                                   THE HORROR!!!!


Dynamic warm up consist of various 4kg medicine ball throws as usual

The set up was 4 stations consisting of 75kg sled drag, 16/20/32kg kettlebell swing, 7kg medicine ball slams, and rope waves,1 min each and 10 seconds change over between stations.

             Switching between backwards and forward drags

           We stop to admire mahendran's slamming technique

                                  Fatigue begins to creep in!


Our first week of introducing the heavy ropes to our session,

                                   

                                     She is a cruel mistress!


The following scenes are just a glimpse of what you can hope to achieve from taking part in the SLAYER!

We rest and Foolishly get ready to begin the second set up of the day, more rope drills coupled with kettlebell snatches, and clean and press.

Even the promise of a big kiss from Brett cannot entice Mahendran into another round of the SLAYER.

Brett freezes me with his medusa finger, HIS KUNG FU IS STRONG!

 Greg also known as the mighty snatchmaster, strangely though this is not in reference to working out!

 We fear for Brett's sanity as he giggles maniacally and talks to himself

inevitably the gloves come out for anyone who has anything left in the tank.

                                  Anand steps up this week

                             "Oh Greg when will you learn?"

                                     Another stupid idea

So we reach the end of another installment to the sunday madness archives, as we sit and rehydrate all thinking up our excuses why we cant make it next week, we feel good about ourselves and the effort we put in today! Not bad for a bunch of middle aged nutters running around like kids in saharan temperatures.

DON'T ACT YOUR AGE ACT YOUR SHOE SIZE!
