Move the body a bit. Hit the shoulders and calves and hips.
THE THANG:

20–24
Merkins
(Jump?) Lunges
Carolina Dry Docks
Skaters/curtsy lunge
Plank shoulder taps
Recover and mosey another let’s call it 1012 m to our finisher. That’s more or less 2024 m round trip.
We finished off with the 20 m (actually 20.24 m) beep test 📟📟📟 of V02 max capacity. Two lines of cones separated by 20(.24) m. Man starts running on the beep, then aims to reach the cone before the next beep. And beep. And beep. And beep. Every minute or so, the time between beeps decreases. See info here: www.beeptestguide.com/table.htm
Quick aside: The test is hard. It was introduced to me by my old men’s league rugby coach, a wild, brilliant, ferocious South African who told us that his coach growing up would back an ambulance up to the pitch and make them run 20 m back and forth in 100 degree heat until that truck was filled with the bodies of the men who were able to drag themselves of the field. By comparison, this was pleasant. Shout out to my old coach Eugene wherever you are in the world.
Back to today, congrats to all the men who pushed their limit and a special shout out to the few who reached the 8th round. Hope to try again post #leanpax to see how we’ve pushed ourselves. Thanks for your support as a first time Q today.
