The next Avenger superhero to get their own workout is The Incredible Hulk. (Last week was Captain America)
When I thought about what I would include in a Hulk bootcamp workout I thought about lots of carrying, slamming and throwing so I decided that I would need to bust out the tyres and ropes for this session.
The Incredible Hulk Workout
Goal: Strength/Crosstraining
Time: 60 minutes
Equipment: Cones, Mats, Tyres, Ropes, ~120cm (4ft) Boxing Bag
Warm Up
Mobility: Hands Overhead Squats, Frog Squats, Reverse lunge with twist, No money, Seal Jacks
Setup
Today’s workout is self paced by the individual. Clients will rotate to the next station once they complete their current station.
Clients will aim to complete 3 rounds. Tell them that once 1/3 of the group is completed everyone will stop. Eg. if you have a group of 20 clients, after 7 have finished 3 rounds have the class finish the station they are on and stop.
Take 5 minutes to demonstrate and explain each exercise.
Circuit
1. OH Tyre Carry – Clients must carry a tyre overhead 20 metres to a cone and back 3 times. You can also do this with 5-10kg medicine balls.
2. Upper Strength Station – 20 Suicide Push Ups, 40 Prone Pulldowns, 20 Commando Push Ups
3. KB Farmer’s Walk – Holding 2 kettlebells by their side, clients must do a loop of the circuit (~100m circumference). Feel free to use dumbbell’s or spare tyres instead of kettlebells.
4. Rope Lunge – This station needs to be done with 4 or 5 people. Clients will need to wait for others to catch up. While holding the rope above their heads in a line, clients will need to walking lunge 25 meters and back. The rope must not hit the ground or else the group must stop and all do 5 jump squats.
5. Boxing Bag/Tyre Flip – Flip the boxing bag or a large tyre end over end 10 times.
6. Squat through tyres – Keeping their hips low, clients must navigate through a set of car tyres 3 times.
Note on station 4 (Rope Lunge): If you only have a small group omit this station to prevent having clients waiting around for people to catch up. Instead do this at the end as a group finisher.
Cooldown
200m slow run and stretch
