A solid day for the boys and a wicked workout with “Helen” today as the guys were crushed by her grip. Kevin and Ross braved the storm, while the other guys had the day off. Ross and Kevin really did a great job today and put up some impressive times. Today, they attacked the workout with great intensity and got their first taste at the dreaded dumbbell swings at 40 lbs. As you can tell I modified the workout a little bit to cater to their needs, but by no means was it any easier. Their workout was broken down into seven rounds, but got the same amount of repetitions in as the prescribed workout for Helen. I felt that if they attacked this workout at this regiment, they would be getting a better workout and be able to stick it out. However, do not be fooled by the lesser runs and lesser dumbbell swings and pull-ups, they still performed at a high level, but were smoked at the end. As I said before SCALING is not a bad word, but a great way to hit the athlete’s ability at that time and still be able to get a killer workout. Ross and Kevin showed some great determination and felt the pain after this tough workout.
