Our workout consisted of:
Hanging leg raises
frog jumps (which I was doing COMPLETELY wrong until today. Apparently, I don;t know what a frog does..)
FULL Turkish get ups (not those baby half getups
Thrusters with the Oak tree from my back yard (35 lb log)
rows with the TRX (which is the single most AWESOME tool I have seen)
and pushups with no arms (Sully called them "reverse downs" or "Suffolk Downs" or something like that)
All of these were done in a ladder fashion. One rep of each, then 2 and so on.
So with a quick preface to this morning, I ran 3.2 yesterday and then worked 18 hours, most of them being on my feet. this morning at 5:30 was not an enjoyable experience.
As mentioned, I awoke with enough time to remember where I was and get dressed, when the 2 claps signaling the start of my day came ringing through the window of my living room (or Parlor if you live in RI). I expected to be greeted by this guy:
Instead, I believe I was met by this guy:
The log was slung on his shoulder looked like a pixi stick. A lead filled pixi stick. Sully quickly surveyed the area, not knowing what the workout would be like, and created a plan in mere seconds. The TRX was hung and the rules were established. The rules were simple: start and don't stop until the 24 minutes are complete. I began on the Hanging leg raises, Geoff, I think, started with frog jumps. What he actually did looked like it could only be done with a trapeze harness. we moved in tandem through each exercise, fluid and in sync...until the 4th round. On the fourth round, I started to fatigue; my form starting to falter and my reps slowing at an exponential rate. Geoff, on the other hand, seemed to increase both speed and fluidity. On round 6, during the armless pushups, a beautiful mosquito (yes it was so early the mosquitos were still out)
flew right into my mouth and almost made me loose it mid pushup. Geoff, with toes touching the pullup bar above his head, said "Kid! That's gross!" and without losing stide continued on his toe to crossbar touching expedition. It was a scene from a movie. This kid is a beast! Must be that magic those leprechauns carry with them.
I finished 7 full rounds and was mid set of my 8th. Geoff finished 52 rounds, I think. More importantly, he frog jumped in a single bound from the sidewalk to his truck like a gazelle with frog legs (because Gazelles can't jump like frogs...unless they have frog legs).
The end result:
A filthy and exhausted couple. Sully was so filthy, he needed to be rinsed off
BOOM!
