Pushed a Jeep 220 Yards for a CrossFit Workout Today
Today’s CrossFit workout was kind of fun! In addition to the usual strength training, we did some conditioning work that included pushing a Jeep. I don’t think I’ve pushed a car or truck since high school, when we either got stuck in the mud or ran out of gas. Who would think that I would do that again someday as a workout that I pay for? Life is funny…
Warmup:
- Short jog
- Frankensteins, Spidermans, Butt-kickers
- Tabata air squats
- Stretching
Strength Training:
- 5.3.1 Front Squat for Week 3 of the cycle
- I really need to work on my flexibility. I’ve lost some in the last few months.
Conditioning:
- Flip a big tire over and over again for 200 feet
- Carry two 32 Kg (141 lbs total) kettlebells for a “Farmer’s walk” of 400 feet
- 45 lbs Overhead Plate Lunge for 200 feet
- Hold two sledgehammers and whack a tire 100 times (side to side and overhead strikes)
- Push a Jeep for 220 yards
