February 19, 2010, 11:02 am Help me create the new intern death circuit…by Pete Yesterday it was brought to my attention that we haven’t got the ball rolling on our seasonal intern “orientation” process. In the past, we’ve taken this concept in a couple of different directions. If you intern at CP during the fall, you can be damn sure you’ll find yourself coaching in an adorable little Halloween costume on October 31st.
If you are fortunate enough to be a summer intern, you have the privilege of completing our “Intern Death Circuit”, which includes some farmer’s walks, a few walking lunges while holding an empty keg overhead, a couple of trips pushing the sled, and a grand finale of some sledge hammer work on the tire. The key to making this event fun is 1) creating an activity which encourages the interns to compete for a good time, result, etc. 2) making sure to have a good audience of CP staff and clients around to make a little noise, and 3) recording the entire mess of “exercise” to make for some quality blog material. To get a feel for what I’m talking about, take a look at Eric’s recap of the summer ‘09 intern hazing experience HERE Here we are almost half way through the winter/spring internship and we haven’t come up with a quality intern hazing game-plan. I’d like to open it up to some recommendations from the readers to make for an entertaining experience… All I ask is that we keep it competitive on some level, we push the guys hard, and maybe I have the chance to get a picture of an intern bent over the trash barrel trying to keep down his lunch when all is said and done. Is that too much to ask? 7 Responses to “Help me create the new intern death circuit…”

Looks like we have no suggestions…shucks!!
The strongman medley was pretty good all round. Maybe you can throw in a bodyweight circuit at the end (burpees, pushups, lat jumps etc) just to increase the liklihood of someone losing their lunch.
(a) Have them grow really awkward looking beards…oh wait.
(b) burpees until you vomit.
(c) spin around bat 20 times, followed by burpees until you vomit
(d) spike shooter crushing contest. complete with slamming the can against his/her head.
(e) Have them watch that movie “valentines day”. It was that bad, I swear.
I’ll start thinking and see if i can come up with anything…
Sled GHR Medley (you can call it the Toledano Medley when I’m famous)
So we have 3 interns…
First intern starts pushing sled, when he reaches the end he starts GHRs. He has to stop when the next intern reaches the end and gets the 3rd interns push to recover for his next trip. Rinse and repeat.
First intern to 50 (or 100? I’d puke at 1) total GHRs wins. As many trips on the sled as needed.
20 sledgehammers each side
10 walking lunges per side (50lb dumbbells)
8 T-pushups per side
6 dual Kettlebell Clean and Press (24 kg)
40 Kettlebell Swings (28 kg)
10 burpees
pull the sled
throw in some donkey kicks, funny and full body work capacity exercise that ups the likelihood of puking
(Circuit A x 2 with 30 second break)
20 KB Swings
30 Mountain Climbers into 15 Plyo Push Ups
2×30 Foot Keg Lunge
Med Ball throw in against wall
Agil Ladder (prone quick hands)
2 Minute Rest
(Circuit B x 2 with 30 second break)
20 KB Speed Squat with pause at bottom phase
20 Jump-Up-Pull-Up
10 Lateral Shuffle Agil Ladder with Med Ball throw after each set
16 Sled Rows (8 per arm)
15 Plyo Box Jump
Done!
