Garage Workout #2

Garage Workout #2

-        Utilizing a series of equipment that I have accumulated, I created a training program that utilizes both the aerobic and anaerobic systems to develop the entire body.  Each program targets a broad spectrum of muscles groups and works to actively engage the large and small movers.  In addition, each program exploits one area above and beyond the others to encourage stress and change.

Equipment
- Gloves (work, bike, football…just something to protect your hands, more specifically your finger tips)
- Tractor Tire (free from a tire store, weight 80-150 pounds)
- Sledgehammer (8lbs)
- Medicine Ball (12lbs)
- Farmer Carry (some type of suspended weight like a dumbbell, milk crate, log)
- TRX Suspension System (or any other type of suspension type or rope)
- Bar with Weight
- Dumbsbell with Weight
- Heavy Bag
- Skipping Rope

Program
Tire Flip with Plyo Jump (50 ft)
- utilizing a squat lift with a wide base of support.

Sledgehammer Alternating (40 total)
- full extension with a full swing, let the hammer do the work at the end of motion.  Target is the tire.

Medicine Ball Slam (10 repetitions)
- Load ball up to chest, raise above head and slam against the ground. Repeat.

Walking Lunge (100 ft)

Heavy Bag Throw with Mountain Climber (100 ft)
