Ab circuit
---

So, the DLs were interesting. As you can tell, I tested my 1RM, but my grip fell short on the 315, so I did another at 305, failed a second rep, and went back down to 275 to complete three sets of singles. Being already sore from Friday's speed day (still), there was a lot of warm-up sets, too, as you can tell. But I hit a new PR at 305, and I'm rather happy with that.

Something Special

On the way up the stairs to do the ab circuit, Jordan noticed an old rusty drag sled by the dumpster outside the window. And then a truck tire. With an eye-hook through it. On our way out, we asked if we could take it.. So we did. The sled was much heavier than expected, though we have no estimate as to how heavy this was.. We took it as far as the engineering lounge (still quite a distance) and left it there to be picked up later.

The tire, we rolled awkwardly off campus, and then began sets of 10 flips each, working for speed. According to gmap-pedometer, this tire was flipped approximately 280 metres. It was one hell of a cardio workout, given the state of our poor hammies. Tons of fun, though, and super messy (hands black as night!), but that's what you get for doing something spur of the moment.. And now, Hamilton Parkour gets an amazing gift.. A super heavy drag sled. And a tire worth flipping. No, it's not heavy enough to be a max effort exercise, but it's going to be one hell of a metcon for some folks.
