Nine Circles Of Hell

So last week we introduced the Hell climb,
Basically strap weight to the body, carry weight in your hands, and drag weight behind you all at once up a steep hill and destroy yourself! so simple its brilliant.


This week we descend into HELL, nine circle's of HELL! anyone familiar with Dante Alighieri's epic poem The Divine Comedy will know the first part is the account of his descent into hell or the Nine Circles of hell,
Today was just like that, how a group of grown men can gather in the morning to carry heavy shit up and down a steep slope truly is a divine comedy!


And the feelings that you will experience on your descent into Hell, FEAR, LONELINESS, PAIN, SELF DOUBT, STUPIDITY, LOATHING, ANGER, INERTIA, then finally DESPAIR!


These are our Nine Circles


Unfortunately the videos seem to be to long to upload of the main event so I'm posting segments and the THINGS last run up and back down with 252lbs 



taking in to account this is roughly his 9th and final trip up the Hell climb this session, I want to have a chat with his parents as I have suspicions that he was not actually born, but found in a meteor crater some where in the Australian bush! 














Zaid's final ascent of the Hell climb there was a moment of self doubt at the top but he overcame his demons ignored the pain and the voice in his head telling him to quit and made it back down, 




Whilst Zaid and thing move on to 3 full rounds of sparring to get Zaid fight ready Phil Steven and myself continue with a circuit consisting of 3 rounds pull up's, roll out's, med ball slams, and push up's 


I may have a slight tendency to over dramatize these events but hey that's the fun right? and it is tough as hell but every one involved had a great time and felt good once it was over,  

and trust me when I say we all slept like baby's in coma's
