We want ze money....

"Nobody calls me Lebowski...I'm the Dude, man."

Lebowski!

Ahh, The Big Lebowski. A classic movie filled with nihilists, adult film producers, and a great story about friends that can unknowingly make your life a living hell. Hmmm, kinda like today's workout!

It looks like this:


Lebowski

5 Pull-ups

10 Wall Ball

15 KB Snatches

Sandbag Walk to end of parking lot and back

Repeat for 5 Rounds

Today I broke the class up into teams of two. The first person (A) would start the pull-ups, wall ball, and snatches, while his partner (B) carried the sandbag to the end of the parking lot. If "A" finished his set before "B" returned with the bag, he starts again with another set of pull-ups and continues through the snatches. If "B" returns in the middle of the set, he begins HIS OWN set of pull-ups and has to continue until "A" finishes his set AND carries the sandbag.

Not only is this workout a great PHYSICAL workout, but it's also a MENTAL challenge as well. When you're inside, wondering where your partner is with the bag, you have no idea if he's dropped the bag and trying to pick it back up, taking a breather (while you're cranking out reps of snatches and wall ball!). On the flip side, the guy lugging the sandbag doesn't want his partner to do more than he has to...so the pressure is on to hurry up!

Enjoy and keep me posted if you try this workout!
