FNGs: None
COUNT: 20
CONDITIONS: Light rain in the warm air

WARMUP: SSH, WMH, Low Slow Squat, Low Slow Merkin, Mosey to the parking lot with the loop

THE THANG:
PAX had two things to alternate between.
1 – If you can do 1 you can do 10! PAX Paired up to complete a set exercise taking turns scaling it up from 1 rep, then 2, then 3 then 4, all the way up to 10 (55 reps total). Then took a lap around the loop.
2- Up 2, back 1. PAX lined up at ten cones. Different movements to get to the end, going up 2 cones, back one, up 2, back one until the end.

Round 1
1-10: Lt. Dans
2-1: Up Bear Crawl, Back Crawlbear

Round 2
1-10: Merkins
2-1: Up Broad Jumps, Down Backwards Bunny Hops

Round 3
1-10: 4 Count Flutter Kicks
2-1: Up Sprint, Back Sprint

Mosey on back for some cool down merkins

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 2 weeks til signing day. Lets go!

COT: Life can be hard and there will always be something to set you back, whether that’s a mistake you’ve made or an external force acting against you. It’s important to keep pushing forward… if you can take the first step, you can take the second, if you have what it takes to take two steps… why not 10!? And whenever something pushes you back a step, change your movements and take two more forward. Most importantly though… If you are struggling reach out for help and if all is going well, remember to look back and make sure you’re pulling others along with you.

Thanks for letting me lead!

Burpee Bonanza

AO: thestronghold
Q: Natural Ice – CBO
PAX: Chunks, Red Skull, Skeet, Dan and Dave, Purple Tiger, Barney, greyalbum, Decaf, toga, Young and Restless, Natural Ice – CBO, Freshstart, All wheel drive, Richie Rich, Fulton, Hotwire, Hoop Dreams, Hello Kitty, Poker Face, Grey Hound, By Design,
FNGs: None
COUNT: 21
Backblast: Burpee Bonanza
Conditions: Perfect in the low 40s.
Warmup:
Pax got the blood flowing with:
– 40 Side Straddle Hops
– A short shoulder burn of Arm Circles, Seal Claps, and Air Presses
– Some light stretching to loosen up
The Thang:
We took off on a mosey, dodging holes in the dirt path, and stopped at a random parking lot in front of a business—just in time to wave at the security cameras.
Since consistency is key, I chose my favorite kind of misery: 5 burpees on the minute, every minute, with a “resting” exercise between rounds. It’s only 5 burpees—how bad could it be?
Round 1:
– 10 minutes, 10 rounds of burpees
– “Rests” of LBCs, Lunges, and Squats
After our first set, we moseyed back toward the Startdex, stopping in another parking lot for Round 2. Rinse and repeat for another 10 rounds.
With time still on the clock and some gas left in the tank, we kept pushing. 5 more rounds of burpees, swapping in some core-focused rests to balance out the burn.
At this point, we’d hit 125 burpees, but why stop there? We added 5 more. No big deal. And then another 5 just because we could.
Final Count: 135 burpees.
Moleskin:
Sometimes you have to trust the process and do hard things. The hardest thing you’ve ever done is only the hardest thing you’ve ever done—until you do something harder. Grateful for my brothers who push me to that next level.
COT:
– Prayers were lifted!
– Announcements: Some crazy 50-mile ruck coming up, and the Spring Fling on April 6th!
