Stairway to Heavens

AO: handsomizer
Q: Natural Ice – CBO
PAX: Shingles (F3 Wichita), Freakonomics, Old Maid, Grape, Spinal Tap, Purple Tiger, Natural Ice – CBO
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
Conditions: Frosty and brisk. Perfect weather to embrace the gloom and crush the stairs.

Warm-Up
We started off with a basic warm-up to shake off the morning chill and get the blood flowing: SSH, Stretches, Merkins, all the stuff

The Thang: Stairway to Heavens

Here’s a polished version of your text with minor adjustments for clarity and flow:

We completed a series of Stairway to Heavens on the 92-step staircase. The Pax performed an exercise movement up to the first platform, ran back down to the base, completed a burpee, and then ran up to the second landing to repeat the exercise. This process continued for all five landings, finishing with a final burpee at the top of the stairs. The movements included bear crawl push-ups (Bearway to Heaven), bunny hops, backward crab dips, squats, and lunges.

Thanks again for the opportunity to lead!

12 Days of Christmas

AO: handsomizer
Q: Wedding Singer
PAX: Umbrella, Purple Tiger, Wedding Singer, Salami, Freakonomics, bluemule, Natural Ice – CBO, Spinal Tap
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
CONDITIONS: cool and crisp

WARMUP:
Disclaimer
Recognition of Umbrella, who allowed YHC to freely steal and modify (including the notable absence of even a single Michael Buble song on the playlist this time!) his long-standing tradition and recent beatdown at the-racetrack Mosey to the bottom of the steps

THE THANG:

12 Days of Christmas
Day 1 – 8 count Body Builder
Day 2 – Apollo Onos
Day 3 – Worst Merkin
Day 4 – Lt. Dan
Day 5 – Burpees
Day 6 – Storm squats
Day 7 – WWI or WWII
Day 8 – Windmill Merkins
Day 9 – Iron Mike’s
Day 10 – Makhtar N’Diayes
Day 11 – Mountain Climbers
Day 12 – V-Ups

The day corresponds with number of reps. Start on Day 1 and then run lap up the stairs and back down the ramp. Day 2 then 1, run. Day 3 then 2 then 1, run…until you finish or time. 2 is 1 for all applicable exercises. That fact, along with the long set of stairs and ramp back down proved to be too much for any of the PAX to complete the work, but several got to Day 10!

Mosey back to startex

MARY: n/a – called for time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: F3 Franklin 10-year anniversary beatdown Saturday 1/4 at Pinkerton Park – 0630

See elsewhere on Slack for deets about New Year’s Day convergence and Lean PAX

Always an honor to lead.
