Thursday, August 13: The Future?


This is a future embrace of sorts. Tomorrow Shane, Ben (my youngest brother), Vince, Trevor (Vince's oldest son), Drew (Vince's middle child) and myself will all be heading down to Indaianapolis for "Gen Con" A.K.A dork fest for 2 days to enjoy all things to do with games, board, video and miniatures alike. So who knows what the day will bring, but you can bet on a story or two I'm sure.

As for the picture of the day the caption should read.

"Remember to do your best even when you don't look it."

Convinced 3 of the guys I work with at the fire station to give this WOD a try but we’re going to change it up a bit. We have 2 pull-up bars in the fitness room so each pull-up bar will have 2 guys and we will alternate minute sets doing both pull-ups and burpees on the minute. So minute 1 first guy does 1 pull-up and the other guy does 1 burpee, minute 2 each guy changes stations and now completes the opposite movement for the same number of reps in the minute time limit. Both continue to go up the ladder until timing out at either of the 2 movements.

Dead hang Pull-ups 15 rounds even
Burpees 15 rounds even

So this WOD was 30 minutes long total.

Min. 1: 1 Pull-up
Min. 2: 1 Burpee
Min. 3: 2 Pull-ups
Min. 4: 2 Burpees
And so on, and so on...
Min. 29: 15 Pull-ups
Min. 30: 15 burpees

15 Rounds of each.

It was pretty cool, we had all 5 guys in the fire station doing the WOD together. It was awesome, I'll post pictures on my blog later.
