Practice Tonight > Hamilton's After > Happy Hour Tomorrow

Gentlemen,

Just a reminder that we have touch practice tonight from 6:30 - dark at Gravelly Point followed by a couple cold beers at Hamilton's. If you can't make it out tonight, should definitely try to swing by after work tomorrow and meet up with the club at Hamilton's for happy hour and $1 PBRs (all night long). Bring a friend, bring a coworker, bring a potential scrumhalf (hint: recruit!)...

For those of you who can't/won't come out for touch, make sure you are working on your conditioning. As you know, getting ready for the season requires more than low rep/high weight work in the gym and 30 minute jogs so plan accordingly. Returning players know the exercises that we work in practice and they can easily be done at home with no equipment so here are a couple suggested workouts:

5 rounds for time
20 push ups | 30 sit ups |40 squats
(alternately, complete as many cycles of these as you can in 20 minutes)
 
Sprint repeats at maximum effort
100 meters x 10 | 200 meters x 5 |400 meters x 5
 
4 rounds of 400 meter sprints and 40 air squats for time
 
150 burpees (squat thrusters for the lame) for time
 
100 each for time
push ups | pull ups | sit ups | squats


Cheers,
Sideshow
