All The Mineshaft Backblasts

September 4th, 2018 By AstroVan

After a last minute realization that The Mineshaft was not around during the last football season, YHC decided to check around to see if you can park on campus on game day. You can’t. So a last minute location change to a large somewhat abandoned parking lot where Kohl’s used to be was in order.

Three showed up for a pre-run and we went searching for a 4th, finding Sousa waling in from his campus dorm. We meandered around the campus, through the nature trail and then back to the parking lot where we were met by 3 others ready for the Bootcamp.

After a little mosey, some warm-up, including arm circles we went to the back of the van to see what was in store today.

In the van was a truck tire, weight sled, 35 lb plates, 45 lb plates, a bucket with 50lbs in it and a cinder block. We set up 6 stations and had the 7th run about 400 meters as the timer. Stations were:
– Sled push with 45lb plate, making the total weight about 135 lb
– Hair Burners – push a 45 lb plate around the parking lot
– Farmers carry with shoulder shrugs with 35 lb plates
– Chest press with Cinder Block
– Bucket carry to work on grip strength
– Tire flips

We did 2 rounds and then headed to the old Kohl’s wall for
– Peoples Chair
– 20 Hip Slappers
– Peoples Chair
– 15 Donkey Kicks
– Peoples Chair
– BTW until failure

Quadraphelia back up the parking lot to the Weight Sled. Everyone line up on a parking lot line. 6 PAX starts doing air squats while 1 pushes sled to the next line and back. Everyone gets a turn with squats continuing. Once everyone goes, switch to Plank and repeat the sled push and pull.

Line up on curb for suicides. First line, 5 Bobby Hurley jump squats, Second line, 10 Merkins, Third line, 15 Plank Jacks.
