Tips & Strategy

  • •Pace the 800m runs, don't go out at race speed
  • •Back extensions fatigue the hamstrings and lower back: break into sets of 15-20
  • •Sit-ups are high volume, so use an AbMat and find a rhythm
  • •If no GHD is available, substitute good mornings or Superman holds

Origin

Named after Navy Lieutenant Michael McGreevy, 30, of Portville, NY, killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005.
