Welcome to the Tough
Mudder obstacle training
program, powered by [INAUDIBLE].
Thank you for turning on your internet.
We're going to go over three
exercises that are going
to help you conquer the Berlin Walls--
pull ups, leg raises, and plyo jumps.
Let's cover some pull ups.
Looking for our general arm
strength and lat strength here.
What we're going to do is come to
our bar, grip it any way we want,
activating our lats
and shoulders, biceps,
and pulling our chin over the bar.
Coming back down, to lockout
full range of motion.
If pull ups aren't in our
bag of tricks as of yet,
we can use our teammate to help.
And she's going to help and then let go.
And he's going to slowly go back down.
Make sure that you come all the way
to full extension at the bottom.
If we leave that last
little bit tomorrow,
we're going to have T-Rex arms.
And chicks don't dig a dude that
looks like Tyrannosaurus Rex.
I'm not going to say I
know from experience.
Now, we're going to
tackle the leg raise.
This is going to help us out with
general core strength once again.
We're going to lay on our backs, heels
about three inches off the ground.
And we're going to go to feet
straight up, and then back down,
not allowing those heels to contact.
This is a great exercise
that we can do anywhere--
in our office, in our living room,
in the middle of the kitchen floor.
If you want to coach-ify
this, grab your teammate.
Try not to look up his shorts.
Grab onto his ankles, and
then do the same thing.
He is going to go in multiple different
ways, and I'm going to try to resist.
He can try to trick me,
but you can't trick me.
We're going to need hop, which
brings us to the plyo jump.
We're looking for an explosion in
the hips to get that vertical height.
Go ahead.
Big jumps.
Excellent.
Notice that hip, opening up, explosion.
All of these guys-- we've been working
together-- have extremely supple hips.
And you can see that in those hops.
But get creative.
Jump up something high.
