Get dirty today!

  Alright guys, time for day two!  So, my motivation for today comes from one of my major influences in life...Will Smith! I know some of you may be saying, "Yeah right, the Fresh Prince is your motivation?". Well, I highly recommend doing a little digging into Mr. Smith.  One of my favorite quotes by him is "The two keys to life are running and reading.".  Running, because when you can learn to defeat the little voice inside that is telling you to stop because you're hurting then that is when you realize you can do anything you want. You realize that you are the only thing stopping yourself.  Reading, because people have been writing books for thousands of years and there is no problem that you have that someone else has not had and written about it.  Will also speaks of his "sickening work ethic".  He states that he is not afraid to die on a treadmill.  I do this statement no justice...Check out the link at the bottom of the page and see for yourself! I have a feeling he will influence you in the same way if you are reading this blog.
  So, now let's talk about the workout! Today, we are getting dirty...This is a blog about "mud runs", so why should we only get dirty during the race??

Workout-
50- one arm log throws(25 per arm) This is very similar to a shot put motion.
5x- Grab the biggest log that you can possibly hold with each hand, and carry it until failure. The more odd shape the better! We want to get that grip and forearm strength up!
5x- Overhead log carry until failure
200- push ups- 50 standard, 50 military, 50 wide, 50 decline
*Time to get dirty*  100 yards- get under that "barbed wire"! If you aren't covered in dirt at the end, then you were not low enough!
100 yards- bear crawl
2 minutes- Bear crawl, crab walk, side crawl, just move! Focus on staying on all fours, butt low, core tight! Stay up and moving around for two minutes! Don't touch the ground! This is supposed to be fun, and you will get some funny looks if you're in public, but who cares? Exaggerate your movements, and learn to control your body.
10x- 30 second hill sprints (The Spartan had the 100 yard barbed wire crawl...Barbarian has hills! Be ready...learn from my mistakes last year!

Logs used for today's workout!
