Movember 17th -Shoulders & Arms

Shoulders & Arms:

Shoulders and arms together:
Warmup, Prehab all goes without saying. Remember, the cardio is not a warm up...you should be ready to work fairly hard by the time you take this on. Stretching should be done, body should be warm, as you will have an elevated heart rate during this! -meaning easily >160 by the end (or middle;)



Cardio... if you're up for running outside try the usual sled pull. If it's still slick outside/-15, It's an indoor circuit:

58:
Take the two sandbag duffels and set them at the back of the apparatus floor.
In pairs you will alternate between the two events:
#1 -Stair Climb -run the hose tower stairs, touching everyone up and down. At the top grab the overhead I beam and do one pull up -return to the back of the hall
#2 -Shoulder carry -carry the duffel loaded with a minimum of 30llbs to the front and return -complete this twice

-Switch with the other set of partners. If you are done before the other pair, alternate between sets of abs and burpees

57:
Your version is a little different -same concept, but you will have to pull the quint out of the bay and run the length of the bay while your partner runs on the treadmill: incline of 10 (minimum) and a speed you can maintain for 2 minutes. After two minutes switch places.

Both stations should perform this group of exercises for a minimum of 15 minutes -20 if you like the extra challenge.
