New to me anyway. I tried this at the park today and really liked it:
crawl x 5:00/Hang x 1 - 2 minutes
Walk x 5:00/Hang x 1 - 2 minutes
March x 5:00/Hang x 1 - 2 minutes
Maybe add
Carry of some sort x ?/Hang x 1 - 2 minutes
Swings x ?
It felt good. It is a new category I am calling:
AMRAYW which is "as many rounds as you want."
It seems like this would function as a warmup or a cooldown or a stand alone.

Think I did this... ah, intuitively... after one of my infamous* nights on the tiles back in the day

That would be fun outside in your yard or park, it could be like 30/30...the length of the intervals could be 30 seconds 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 whatever you wanted. blowing it out further..if i had a backpack loaded with books and a speed sled and maybe a sandbag or med ball could do something like the below...you could also add one set of swings after each hang...be a grip killer

Bear Crawl then hang
Walk w/pack then hang
Sandbag bearhug carry then hang
Walk w/pack then hang
Drag sled (ala Knees over toes) then hang
Walk w/pack then hang
Waiters Carry with Backpack then hang
Walk w/pack then hang
Knees over Toes Walking Lunge then hang
Walk w/pack then hang
Sandbag throw or slam or something then hang
Walk w/pack then hang

Crawls & Hangs on odd days.

Carries & Cleans (or swings, or snatches) on even days.

That could be the basis of a nice minimalistic program.

What I love about this forum is that each post is like planting a seed. You put it in the ground and in a few days the seed starts growing and in a little while it produces the most marvelous fruit.

Agreed.

The other great part of this group is our mutual patient waiting for Dan Martin's book...and forum.

I've heard it's just a matter details left before the book is published.

What i added to my random hangs throughout the day which could work for this "new and fun" idea is every time you hang try to do pullup/chinup(s) and then hang without letting go...so if you can do 1, do 1 and then dead hang...i did it to try to build up my pullup/chinup numbers while still getting in the hanging benefits.

I'm most excited for the forum, as I'm just *dying* to ask Dan Martin what he thinks about Simple and Sinister.



I'll see myself out, now...

Brian H,

A+ level of sarcasm.
