Hardcore Training for Marines

Everybody knows Marines are some of the baddest mofos around. Yesterday afternoon I had the privilege of training 12 USMC officers at the Underground Strength Gym. I figured these guys might be a little crazy, but they completely blew me away with their hard work and positive attitudes. We put them through the following workout:

1. Sandbag Shouldering- 5 sets x 3reps/side
2. Tire Flips- 5 sets x 2reps w/ 250 lb or 450 lb tire
3A. Bodyweight Push 3 sets x max reps
3B. Bodyweight Pull 3 sets x submax reps (but these guys went all out!)
4. Conditioning Medley (3 groups of 4 Marines)
- Prowler x 3 plates x 3 min
- KB Farmer Walks x 53s x 3 min
- Sled x 5 plates x 3 min
(As many rounds as possible at each station for 3 min, then move to next exercise)

These guys did not drag ass for even one second. They all cheered each other on and strived to be their very best. Each one of them gave 110%. When it got tough, they just worked even harder. They showed absolutely no fear. Even if a weight was hard, they'd go heavier the next set just to push their own limits. Now that's BADASS! These guys know the value of hard work and they know that sometimes you gotta really kick your own ass to be the best. It was an honor for me to coach them and I hope to see them at the Underground again. Get out there and get a little crazy. KICK ASS!
