Crazy Joe

So Joe came up with the idea of putting together some crazy stewsmith workouts into action on Tuesday/Thursdays. We did one this morning, and I'm telling you, it was intense. Here it is:

Started with a ruck around campus with 30-35 lb rucks, after completing a loop we went to the Duf track and hammered out another mile, making it a total of 3 miles. We maintained a decent 15 minute mile pace, making the overall 3 miles in 45 minutes.

Then it was off to the chin up bars behind the stadium stands. This is where stuff started getting nuts. He explained to me we were going to do 4 sets of 2,4,6,8,10,8,6,4,2 of pullups, chinups, close pullups and widearm pullups. Nuts, I know. So you do 2 pullups then bang out 20 reps of any abs (crunches, flutter kicks, you know...) then you jump back on the bar.

So we made it through the first 2 sets, and we were dragging ass. We decided to shorten the last 2 sets to 2,4,6,4,2 but still with the 20 reps of abs. We finally finished and were completely out of gas. It was a sick workout, totaling 136 pullups and 560 reps of abs.

to summarize:
3Mile ruck (30-35 lb ruck) completed in 45 mins
2,4,6,8,10,8,6,4,2 of regular pullups with 20 abs in between each
2,4,6,8,10,8,6,4,2 of chinups with 20 abs in between each
2,4,6,4,2 of close arm pullups with 20 abs in between each
2,4,6,4,2 of wide arm pullups with 20 abs in between each

Both of us were kinda upset about us being the only two there. Hopefully it changes. Also, embarrassing video of Joe doing pullups to follow later....
