Heavy Hump Day – Back Blast 3.13.19

YHC has enjoyed heavy workout ever since we started doing them at Sojourn. I missed them for a while but was excited when the Vets and County decided to bring them back. I Q’ed a Heavy a couple weeks back at Vets and when the opportunity came to lead one at the County I jumped on it.

I wanted to bring back something from the past that was sure to be a test for each guy. I can count on 1… maybe 2 hands the workouts I never want to do again. However, it is these workouts that challenge us and make us stronger, so I decided to combine two of those workouts for this heavy workout.

The F3 IronPax challenge happened last fall and these were some of the toughest workouts I have done since joining. Just ask Kilo, he was only able to complete 1 of them. So I decided to combine the first two workouts to create something new but hopefully just as difficult.

Here are the workouts for reference. Week 1 was used for the rounds and rep count:

Week 2 was used for heavy exercises:

Once I came up with this idea I was excited to get after it!
