So if you are deciding to join in on the fun...cough, cough... What could you be doing to prepare yourself? Well I'm about to start a pretty full on prep routine that borrows from my previous Arnold routines and combines some useful compound movements that will be used on the beach. So here are a few exercises to put into your routine to get BEAST ready!
Kettle bell/plate swing - grab a plate or a kettle bell, stand with your legs apart and take a slight squat with the weight being able to swing between your legs. Then swing it back and then forward carrying the movement through and up almost directly above your head. This movement is going to help with the keg toss!
Rear delt cable fly - you will need a close double cable machine. If adjustable, set up the machine at about shoulder level or a little lower. Grab the handles fromeach side in the oposite hands. Stand back a little and unfurl your arms to a winged stance. This movement will assist in the slave drags.
Dumbbell Beginner squat - don't let the name fool you. Place your weights at your sides. Squat down and grasp the weights. Stand back up using proper squat technique (push through the heels and don't lean to far forward) keep squatting for the desired reps, but keep the weights in hand till the final put down. This squat will get you ready for the wheel barrow.
I'll try and post a few more exercises to get you prepped even more for the beast beach experience, till then.
BEAST MODE ON!
