Play Time Is Over!

So enough with the ramping up! time to get training,

the THING came up with a nice sled drag / farmer walk combo a few weeks ago, but if you ask me its missing two ingredients,
a weighted vest and a steep hill!
Welcome to the

 HILLBILLY HELL CLIMB!!!

PREPARE FOR GLORY!

Here is our new playground, not sure what the gradient of this slope is, all I know is it SUCKS! big time, fortunatly for Mehendran and I we are a bit under the weather so are not doing this full on,
I'm a big fan of Dan John's doctrine so expect to see more of these type of heavy carries in future posts they are always one hell of a killer finisher if you want to drain the tank, just make sure you have no plans for the rest of the day!


The THING is up first, ok steep hill  plus 114kg so approx 252lbs of added load, remember with the heat and friction caused by the tyre dragging on the concrete the more the tyre will grab the surface, so the further you get the more fatigued you get the harder it is to drag the sled.


                                          SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!

THING is in the zone he completes 
the Hell climb in 48 seconds!

so this weeks quiz, who can guess the first words out off THINGS mouth after completing the Hell climb

1, I hate you Edwards!

2, Too easy!

3, RRAAARGGHHHH!

4, Lets go again

lets see shall we, what are the first words that come to mind after a titanic effort like that

Lets be honest its amazing he spoke at all, this is the first time we have included this in our workout and after 2 rounds of circuit's and 3 rounds of sparring to dive in to this with 252lbs as a finisher the man is a machine, if I attempted this today with that weight I would be a gibbering pile of strained tendons & ligaments halfway up the hill.

Zaid is up next, again another machine straight in at 252lbs of added load what a joy to be young

Mehendran and I take the easy way out with 110lbs 50kg added load which turns out is not that easy, no video of me because I went last and by then no one has the energy to hold the camera let alone follow up the hill

No matter where Sunday Madness is held there 
will always be an audience, but this guy 
doesn't even offer to help THING look  

for his contact lens!

I give the gym rings a trial run

WELCOME TO OUR CHURCH!
