The Thang:
45 minute beatdown inspired by watching Jim Abbott receive the Jimmy V Perseverance Award. Jim achieved his dream of becoming a professional athlete despite being born with only one hand. All we had to do is show in the gloom and throw around some coupons – and the HIMS showed up!
4 rounds:
Round 1 – starting with your dominant hand (use other hand not at all or as minimal as possible) – 1 minute coupon overhead press
– 1 minute bent over rows
– 1 minute curls
– 1 minute goblet squats
– Farmer carry across the field and back
– drop the coupon (finally) and mosey up/down Hoffa
– One hand/arm plank for the six
– mosey up Hoffa and back, hold 1 arm plank
Round 2 – Repeat Round 1 with non-dominant hand.
Round 3 – back to the dominant hand/side
– 1 minute One-arm overhead hold
– 1 minute Lunges
– 1 minute Merkins
– 1 minute Flutter kicks
– 1 minute Plank
– mosey up/down Hoffa
– One hand/arm plank for the six
Round 4 – repeat round 3 with non-dominant hand/side
Then back to the flag
Moleskine:
Today’s beatdown was entirely using one hand at a time (modifying as needed of course). It felt harder than it should be, it was a little frustrating, and it was ackward but that was the point. Life isn’t always easy, life can be unfair but at the end of the day that doesn’t stop us. If you find a way to deal with it you will always be better on the other side (ie Jim Abbott theme of the beatdown – he found a way to overcome his challenge and found success despite the odds)
