012106 Painstorm II "My Pet Rock"

"My Pet Rock"

Partner up and each person perform 3 rounds for time:

15 X 95# Bear Complex
30 Pull ups
60 Push ups
600 Meter Run

The "pet rocks" can be a pair of 1.5 pood kettlebells, 50# dumbbells, or 45# plates. One partner holds the pets while the other does the exercise. You may switch when necessary, but they must not touch the ground. Pets hate to be left alone or worse yet dropped. If the "pets" are dropped or set down on the ground each partner must add 5 reps to the exercise they are doing.

011106 "Fight Gone Bad"

"Fight Gone Bad"

This is our famous “Fight Gone Bad” workout. It has been used extensively to prep fighters for the UFC. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. We’ve used this in 3 and 5 round versions. Today is 3 rounds. The stations are:


Wall-ball – 20 pound ball, 10 ft target. (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump – 20” box (Reps)
Push-press 75 pounds (Reps)
Row – calories (Calories)


The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of “rotate”, the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

The modified weight to be used is 45 pounds for the Sumo deadlift high-pull and push press and a 12 pound medicine ball for the wall ball shots.

Add your points and post them to comments.
