What to hell is a “Gear Shuttle”? This is a Jeff Martone's WOD
he put out some time ago and have done a few times prior. It’s a killer! This routine
is 3 rounds of 2- 50 yd. farmer’s type walks with 3 types of Kettlebell holding
positions with 10 burpees after each trip. I told you it can be a killer.
The
first set of three is farmers walks with 32kg Kettlebells to 50yards with two
times with 10 burpees after each trip, hence the gear shuttle. Then it’s the same
two trips of 50yds and burpees and this time holding the 16 kettlebells in the
rack position. Then the last two trips performed with 12kg kettlebells held
over head with the burpees. That is the first round. Sounds like fun until you
have to do this three times!
I chose
this WOD as part of my "Go Ruck" training for general body burden endurance that
the Go Ruck requires. I did not use the suggested the 32kg farmer walk,24kg
rack hold walk, and 16kg overhead walk. Instead I use. 24kg,12kg,10kg in pussy
alternative.
My math
indicates 120 burpees, some sloppy, 300yds walking, and 300 yards holding a
weight. I, like many others, are not a big fan of burpees as it feels like
punishment for something I did not do. The over head walk is something I hardly
ever do, but it’s just painful exercise that has no meaning other than
punishment. I learned at the last two
rounds to move feet faster so not to hold weight any longer then needed.
42 min time, although I was not racing, just surviving.
The mission is sacred.
