Nice work Paul. You must be sporting a sweet beach body with all the sprinting and zerchers you’ve been doing. But watch out for great whites if you go to the Cape this year.
Hey Steve, my beach body is counter acted by a sincere love and devotion to barley and hops ! Seems like each year now there are more Great whites and they come earlier and they come much closer more often…they had one last year off of the beach in the town I live in.

Lateral throw?
Harry- you use a db that’s “too heavy” for laterals and use a momentum to get it up with the idea being to hold the weight at the peak for second before lowering…

First time this outdoor season for some parachute sprints…I’m not letting Harry, Crippler and NHLFTR have all the fun…the chute does make you work harder…my legs and glutes hadn’t recovered from Sunday’s DL marathon so these were back to sundial mode…but still fun to bust the chute!

Another interesting workout, and with humidity!
I’m working in new things with the ladder too. I’m thinking of doing bear crawls.
Crippler… I find the ladder to either be too easy or to complex for my brain !

Carpentry is a workout. Should have listed it.
I saw a private gym in an office which had a ladder mounted about 8 feet in air and parallel to the floor. I didn’t ask how it was used but all guys there were in good shape.
Biker- you wanted to see the chute…and here is what it looks like when I arrive .I’m 20 yrds from the fieldhouse
1/2 mile walk
backpeddle 20 yards, crossover step 20 yards, shuffle 20 yards, bounding 20 yards x 8 rounds
Chute sprints 6x50, 2x70, 1x100
1/2 mile walk
not sure if I was sprinting or swimming. fog was so heavy I could barely make out the “20” when standing on the goal line. Rained pretty hard over night and into the early morn. The field was slick so I decided to do the agility stuff in a straight line instead of using cones…
