T actical S trength C hallenge

5 rounds of 'Matt'

100m swim (I did 8 laps in a 40 foot pool to approximate it)
25 burpees
25 sit-ups (I subbed tuck-ups)

As I susptected the burpees killed me and had to be broken up starting with round 2. The tuck-ups weren't exactly a picnic either. Eventually both exercises left me so winded that I had to breathe every other stroke during the swim. I didn't eliminate the flip turns, but pulled them early so that either I had no push off the wall or, at best, a minimal push.

Time was 25:04.

I did a modified version of yesterday's WOD.

Pull ups 25 (6,4,3,3,3,3,)
Squats 60 (35,25)
Pull ups 20 (3,3,2,2,2,2,3,3)
Squats 50 (25, 15, 10)
Pull ups 15 (3,3,3,2,2,2)
Squats 45 (20, 10 15)
Pull ups 10 (3,2,3,2)
Squats 30 (30)

5 sprints
60 crunches
30 leg flutters

Ryan-

For the swim WOD I did on Tues (posted), I just swam for # of strokes (ie. 'reps') to correct for pool sizes or ocean swimming that I do...

Rock on Ryan! Nice job.

Here's another one for you to try...an old standby. 10 rounds:
100m swim
20 pushups
20 abs (do 'em using a kickboard to pad your back against the deck).

Move through it as quickly as possible, don't rest just slow down if you have to.

Coach Derek Ray was using an underwater swim followed by a sprint crawl and finally poolside thruster combination all for time to great effect at Florida Police Corps Academy.

They were also retrieving larger plates (How many guys does it take to get a 45 pound plate out of the pool?) from the pool bottom in teams in combination with thrusters.

Moving iron out of the pool is a stone-cold bitch. We do some really nasty drills with sections of railroad ties/phone poles and 5 gallon Sparkletts jugs as well.

One of my absolute favorites ('cause I'm a psycho goalie):
Fill your Sparkletts jug all the way up. Treading water, hoist the jug over your head, with the spout end down (so the water begins draining). You must look up and allow the water to pour out onto your face/mouth while holding the jug overhead.

Rinse and repeat. Nothing quite like trying to drown yourself...

PS-
When full, the Sparkletts jug weighs just under 50lbs.

Worked on swim technique (i.e., tried to remember how to swim) for a while at the creek by my college - nasty water. Practiced rudimentary tumbling (cartwheels and roundoffs) a little then did 30 and 10 burpee-pull-ups on the pegboard. Later, played around climbing the pegboard.

Our cycle is a little off the WODs. Today, after working on squat and overhead squat techniques, we did:
Drop snatches 75x10, 105x8
Push Presses 135x10
Deadlifts 235x7x3
Turkish Getups 55x7

Coach, Matt,

Thanks for the additional workout ideas!

Garth. Please come teach a day at CF Oakland or just come roll with us. We've been hearing Stan talk about you like a myth for far too long.
