For today’s workout you will need a few different pieces of equipment. Its getting late in the summer so there is no shame in mixing things up a bit to spice up a training session. You will need a large tractor tire, a baseball bat, chin up bar, crate/dumbbell/barbell or something to shoulder press, and a bench or box.

Warehouse Circuit
This workout is meant to be completed in the work yard of a warehouse or field. You need a 60-80 pound skid for the shoulder press but can replace that with barbells or dumbbells if you are in a gym. Stack skids on top of each other for the box jumps (or if you are in a gym, use a bench or the actual boxes). You will need a tractor tire for the tire flips at the start of the workout but that can be replaced with a medicine ball for a Granny Toss or a weighted barbell for power cleans.

6 Tire Flips
12 Box Jumps
20 Shoulder Press
12 Pull Ups

Cool Down
Light jog for 400 meters then stretch. For the stretch, focus on the shoulders and ham strings.
