Preparing for Battle
Zach and I came in early today to set up for Jacob's Dementia. Lots of bars What we decided on is multiples of loads up to 115. Only 115 you say? Where's the 155's and 135's you're wondering? You note that there are power cleans in there and surely you want to do more than 115 Well, no...not really. Not with this workout. There are just over 1,000 reps to do with this combo along with 1,850 meters of rowing and 1,400 meters of running. Just about every movement we do in our gym is represented here except for muscle ups, OHS, and TGU. There might be a couple others but nothing else comes to mind. Many of the exercises, HSPU, hammer hits, ring dips, GHD situps, ring pushups and the like, aren't really lifts with a load you can write down. You are moving weight of course but you don't record a load for those things. Without consideration of all the many gymnastic's movements and calling the Bear a 30 rep count for its 5 reps since you move the load 30 times (bringing the rep count to 1,025) the amount of weight lifted using my loads for this workout is 40,013 done in 625 reps of lifting which is an average of 65 lbs per rep. I have done each of the workouts in around 50 minutes so this may take about 120 minutes which is 333 lbs per minute lifted but only 5.5 lbs per second. Of course that does not figure in the 400 gymnastics types movements or the double unders, hammer hits and such. This is going to be quite the endeavor.
