Rain greeted me this morning, and I was thankful that for most of the workout we were inside. We did our warm up outside and then had to the 200m run during the workout. But considering, I will take it! It isn’t unheard of to do a complete Plumbline workout in the rain — it is a boot camp after all!
warmup
shuffles
push-ups
checkpoints
jump skips
corex2
(feet hooked with partner for the following 2)

twisting side to side – hands on shoulders at all times
platinum situps w partner
general stretching
25 side push ups (high 5 the person next to you alternating side)
workout
3 rounds 60 secs each station – with rest active stations
assisted pull ups
power clean squat press 65lbs
single leg lifts 20lb db
woodchucks/dynamax burpees
200m run/pushups
With this type of workout, you add up all the reps you do at each station and report it at the end of the round. You should be pushing yourself so hard that the best round is the first round — Mikey says that if you don’t feel spent and on the verge of throwing up, you didn’t push yourself hard enough. I am not sure I agree with that but I know I feel pretty well maxed out by round 3. Imagine you have done 2 rounds of the above, and now you are on to the 3rd round and you have to do pull ups or power cleans with a 65lb bar. You have to dig deep to muster the strength and for most of it, it’s mind over matter.
