PAX: Crawlspace, DFrost, Vector, YHC

THE THANG

In the usual fashion, disclaimer was made and the PAX moseyed around the field and then entered the field on the west side for some Warmorama.

  • SSH x 15
  • Imperial Walkers x 15
  • LBAC x 15
  • Moroccan Night Clubs x 15
  • rLBAC x 15

After we were sufficiently warm, we took our places on the sideline and did a pyramid workout using the telephone poles that are ~100 feet apart. PAX ran to Pole #1 and did 5 Burpees, then Bernied back to the start line and did 10 Big Boy Situps. They then ran to Pole #2 and did 10 Burpees, and Bernied back to the start for 10 BBS. Continue the pattern for Poles # 3 and # 4 with 15 and 20 Burpees at each and Bernie back to the start line for your 10 BBS. Then finish the pyramid by working down again for Poles #3, #2, and #1 with 15, 10, and 5 Burpees at each.

After completing the Big Boy Burpee Pyramid, the PAX moseyed back around the field with an AYG 300m sprint to the Pizza Hut. PAX partnered up and while one partner did AMRAP Steve Irwins, the other ran around the water tower. PAX tagged up and changed roles. Next up was AMRAP Swerkins while partners ran around the water tower. Once both partners had ran twice and did both exercises, we made our way back to the shovel flag for 90 seconds of Freddie Mercury before all was said and done.

MOLESKIN

  • A small but quality workout today out at Atlantis. Mumblechatter included discussion on David Goggins and what it means to push yourself beyond the mental barriers you put on what your body is capable of. You can do at least 1 more rep than you think, you can hold proper position without going to your knees for 5 more seconds, and you can exercise with perfect form even when your body wants to take shortcuts. You won’t get better if you don’t push yourself!
