“SANTA'S COAL”
For Each Section, Choose Your Least Favorite Movement(s).
Gear:
Sandbag: (60# or 40#/30# or 20#)
Ruck: (45# or 30#/20# or 10#)
You can do the entire workout with just a ruck, just a sandbag, with both or unweighted. When in doubt, use less weight.
Remember, choose your Least Favorite so this is fully customized to you and your crew.
“SHOP TILL YOU DROP” (BUY-IN):
100 Sandbag burpees or 100 Sandbag Turkish Get-Ups
“UNDER THE TREE” (Those Glorious Presents):
Pick 3 movements.
Do 10 rounds of 10 reps of each movement plus 100 meter carry (“stop sign and back”). That’s 30 reps + 100 meter carry — 10 times.
- Thrusters
- Sandbag Burpees
- Flutter Kicks (4-count)
- Ground to Overheads
- Lunges (2-count)
- Russian Twists (2-count and an easy one to hate)
- Any movement you hate more than these
“UNWRAP IT” (CASH-OUT):
100 Push-Ups or 100 Thrusters. Real time decisions are welcomed on this one (you don’t have to pick till you get to it).
Your overall time is not important. Challenging yourself, accountable to others and to yourself, is the name of the game. Ice Coal Beer Curls with your crew to seal the deal on this one. Ho Ho Ho.
Further Scale options:
Do 5 or 7 rounds instead of 10.
Scale movements down to “slick” - unweighted
Athletic Brewing Beers (NA) instead of full diesel to seal the deal.
There’s nothing stopping you from getting some of SANTA’S COAL except you.
