If the tire guy runs the Q there should be tires right? Sure enough. Decided to implement an idea that Gyspy had put together in a Charlotte AO. After the warmup it was time to find a tire and hookup. Idea was to run with resistance of the tire tied to a belt and stop every 2:30 for work. This was a trial run and….modifications need to be made for next time. Didn’t take a couple hundred feet to figure out this wasn’t going to work on pavement. Either way….the tire was the burden to pull or in some cases including mine…carry.
Work as follows:
25 air squats w/ tire
25 overhead press
25 merkins using the tire
30 tire curls
20 total tire toss (like a kettlebell) switching hands
In total:
Just shy of 2 miles of running
50 squats
50 merkins
50 overhead
30 curls
20 tire toss
Quick note at the end of the workout about what it means to carry a burden (or tire) around and what it means to lay that burden down. Sometimes we need the help of our brothers to help lay that burden down and maybe it’s the guy next to you in the gloom that needs help with his weight or burden. I’m proud to be a part of a group of men that are aware of this and always ready and willing to step up to that challenge. We need each other to become the best versions of ourselves and I’m lucky to be apart of that!
