Reflections on Outdoor Strength and Conditioning: 09 Aug 2008

Today's class held only two participants, but it was very exciting to watch these two work. Glen Warrington was one of my warriors from 2006 who dominated in Muay Thai among other things. He left later that year to do some work in Texas but continued his martial arts training. He reports that today he is 40 pounds lighter since the first session we ever trained together and his body fat is 13 percent. By the way, he is in his late 40's but obviously doesn't look it. Well, he thought it would be a good idea to train with us on his last day of vacation...

Our second competitor was Sandra Oliver. As always, she came today strictly for business. She's coming off of an injury but you'd never be able to tell, she won't let you know there's a weakness at all. She looks a lot stronger than last year and she seems to only be getting better every week.

They both have a tough road ahead of them, this is what I asked of them:

15 minutes to accomplish as many sets as you can

- 25 Sumo Dead-lift High Pulls (Sandra, 35 lbs.) (Glen, 45 lbs.)

- 20 Tire Flips (Sandra, semi tire) (Glen, monster)

- 50 lb. Weight Sack Carry (500 feet and uphill)

- 10 Pull-ups (Sandra, Aussie-style) (Glen, Rings)

- 25 FULL GHD Sit-ups


Sandra: 1 set
Glen: 2 sets

Congratulations, you guys did well!
