Tyre work 7 Sep 2007
We had a full house!  Jannes, Chris and Ryan joined me for another monster tyre workout.  Jannes, Ryan and I warmed up while Chris proved that a conditioned body can and should be able to spring into action at any time.  Besides he views joint mobility as far too metrosexual for him!

The workout started with the usual combination of snatches and pushups, then after a short rest moved to tyre flip, blob carry, farmers walk and tyre pull and drag.  And just to keep things fresh we finished with 50 cleans.  All this on a Friday afternoon while most others are only exercising their right elbow at the local pub!

Thanks to Lechec Claasen, professional photographer and kettlebell enthusiast, for the sharp pictures taken.

So here is the workout:

20 snatches right
20 snatches left
20 pushups
15 snatches right
15 snatches left
15 pushups
10 snatches right
10 snatches left
10 pushups
5 snatches right
5 snatches left
5 pushups

Total of 100 snatches with a 24kg kettlebell and 50 pushups.

Time:  Shaun 4m37
           Jannes 5m16
           Chris 5m21
           Ryan 5m28

rest 4 minutes

followed by 3 rounds, tag team style with no rest between rounds of:

2 x 15 meter tyre flips - large size
2 x 15 meter blob carry (pilates ball filled with 30kg of water)
2 x 15 meter farmer carry with 2 x 48kg kettlebells
1 x 20 meter tyre pull (small tyre with rope tied around it pulled hand over hand up a slight gradient)
immediately followed by 1 x 20 meter tyre drag

rest 4 minutes

followed by cleans with a single 24kg kettlebell - 5 sets of 5 reps left and 5 reps right without rest for a total of 50 cleans.

Time:  Shaun 1m37
           Jannes 1m53
           Chris 2m16
           Ryan declined the priviledge


We all had fun.  Well done to all, especially Chris on getting through more snatches and pushups than you did on your first tyre workout!

See you guys on the 28th September 2007.
