Themed Training - Strength Conditioning

Today, we ran through a conditioning set that wasn't terribly intense, but it left a few of the guys pretty drained. It involved a Leon-jumptuck warm-up, QM push-ups, forward burpees, inclined push-ups, one-legged jump-ups, broad jumps, etc. We took a break in the middle to do a quick agility drill inspired from Danno's training. Then more jumps. Reverse QM. Jogging. Pseudoplanche push-ups and plyopush-ups. And then we took a break and began to train more laxly. The conditioning wasn't super difficult, but it was more intense than anything I had done with this group before. Everyone pretty much lasted through it all right, others wanted more intensity. I'll do it slowly, especially when I have a much better plan for it all. I think the overall QM/duckwalk endurance is increasing, especially when I recall that horrid day at Robinson in the summer... That was pretty embarassing.

Josh was a new guy this time around and we managed to get some people asking. Josh seems pretty interested in it overall and shows a lot of heart. He also told me that this blog shows up on google searches. Not sure if I like that. LoL. In any case, it'll be nice to see how far he goes with this. Nick, for his second day, has impressed me quite a bit. He certainly has far more bodily awareness than the others. The only thing that disheartens me is Frank's pessimissm. I think he makes excuses more often than just trying and moving. But maybe that'll change over time.
