The THANG

Someone had conveniently stacked a bunch of old tires at opposite ends of the parking lot. What better way to utilize this unexpected bounty than to do some exercises with them! Here’s how it went:

We counted off in groups of three for a 3-Man Grinder.

#1 started at Station 1 following the list of exercises on the Wienke. We were treated to some classic rock as we worked. The plan is to do exercise #1 on the Wienke until relieved then run to the next station. Next time you’re at Station 1, do exercise #2 – and so on.

#2 & 3 began by running to Station 2.  #2 stops and begins doing the first exercise listed on the Wienke. #3 then continues around the parking lot to relieve #1. #1 then runs to Station 2 to relieve his teammate.

Sprint from Station 1 to 2, regular mosey from Station 2 back to 1.

Station 1

  1. Merkins on tire
  2. Jump over tire front and back
  3. Lateral jump over tire – side to side
  4. Lunges with a twist – with tire
  5. Plank jacks on tire
  6. WW2 sit ups with tire
  7. Wide Merkins spanning two tires
  8. Hold tire overhead
  9. Overhead press with tire
  10. High knees – hold tire in front

Station 2

  1. Squats with tire
  2. Dips on tires – stacked
  3. Tire curls
  4. Triceps extensions with tire
  5. Decline merkins – feet on tire
  6. Toe taps on tire – rapid fire
  7. Push / slide tire while it is flat on the ground
  8. Tire flip
  9. Stationary squat holding tire overhead
  10. Side straddle hops, legs only – holding tire in front or overhead

We got through about #7 on the list then headed back to the shovel flag for:
