GORUCK Challenge

[zhivago]

Ok so since we seem to have a good head of steam going into this thing, let's tap into the collective brain trust and put some real legs under this baby!

We've got some time but if your like me, probably just about the right amount so why not use this thread to post some ideas of how we are all getting off our collective ass and getting ready for this thing. I get the impression they are not a cake walk boys and girls…

I started off today with the following...
4 sets of each 20 seconds on, 10 second rest. Alternating between the two exercises. Break for water if needed

exaggerated lunges (one sided) Rx20seconds Lx20 seconds
Dive bomber pushups

Goblet squats with a KB
Dead lift with the same bell

Z needed water
skater lunges (side to side)
Z needed more water

Russian twist
Plank

Standing side crunches.

Takes a little less than 30 minutes including some type of warm up.

I will continue to post work outs and hope you all do to. If anybody has any questions (you've all done these exercises but might call them something different) pm me and I am happy to explain.

Do cardio!!!

@madmonday:

I think I can fireman carry up to 275 or so . . . anything more & I will probably sh!t myself.

I can carry 276, no prob

[bagley920]

Good idea Z. I think cardio will be of the utmost importance

@Giles:

AKA Tabata workouts. Worth looking online for different variations if you need ideas

Just tossing that out there. It's a great routine/system

[zhivago]

Thank you, yes it is the Tabata method. I forgot that in all the excitement

@bagley920:

I'm in! This will be the hardest and yet most rewarding thing I have possibly ever done. I want to show my son, though he won't be old enough to remember, that anything can be accomplished with hard work. Training/getting myself into shape will be very difficult with a newborn but I am going to give it my best shot! So true Bags, glad your on board! Great inspiration right there!

BTW, are you gonna do this in your jeans?? You would be a hero

[Megatron1505]

Gutted not to make it guys, but I will follow this extremely closely, as I will certainly require some training tips.

[zhivago]

Official "warm up" in San Francisco right Mega?
