Jack, Javy

We did the same workout as Matt and gang, but decided to invent some new abs.

40 x Backward, Overhead, Roman Chair, Medball Pass and crunch (20 with weight)
2 Rounds


*Set up two Roman chairs facing away from each other, and offset them like 2 feet. Grab a heavy med ball and do crunches simultaneously with your partner. At the bottom, pass the med ball over your shoulder to your partner and then do another crunch. So its alternating, 1 crunch with the ball, 1 crunch without. Switch sides for your second set so you are passing over the other shoulder.

15 x Tug of War Abs (on roman chair)
15 x Tug of War Abs (on roman chair)
10 x Tug of War Abs (on roman chair)

*These were awesome. Again, have the roman chairs in a strait line and facing away from each other. Grab a rope and put the opposite ends over both yours and your partners shoulder. Tighten the rope so that when you are in the flat position your partner is in the up position. From there its basically a game of tug of war. As you crunch upward, your partner resists going down, and vice versa. Its great because your abs will never get a break, it is in constant work the entire time.


15 x Roman Chair resistance band abs (band anchored to base of wall, not to chair)
15 x Roman chair crunch (hands behind head)
3 rounds

*Many of you have done these before, but the band is just anchored at a different angle. Align the roman chair about 3' off the wall, in front of one of the base clips. Tie a band (we used the thinner purple ones) to the base clip. Then hop on the roman chair, put the band around your head, and do a crunch. We did 15 with the band, then 15 without.

Hopefully many of you can make it Today (Tuesday) at 5:00, cause we have a sweet/competitive workout planned.
