Preamble:
MEN HAVE GOTTEN SOFT IN THIS AGE. WHAT, IT'S RAINING A LITTLE BIT, AND NOBODY COMES OUT TO THE GLADIATOR?! ARE YOU EVEN MEN?? I mean seriously. Even the 6 dudes who posted today stayed under the pavilion the whole time to avoid getting wet. Shameful. WE EVEN DRANK COFFEE UNDER THE PAVILION. Back in my day, working out meant getting wet EVERY DAY! IN COLD WATER! UPHILL! AND WE EVEN DID IT SORTA-NAKED. The men of Gladiator should be ashamed of themselves. Get tough. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Grow a pair, then let them get shriveled due to shrinkage. Show up. Scratch-off Out.Warm-O-Rama:
Just kidding, I'm not out. We have the whole workout to document before I'm out. Also, I sorta stole Raspberry's BD from a few weeks ago. Warm-Up: Mosey to the big pavilion b/c YHC hates the rain. SSH Walking: Toy Soldiers, scoop & Stretch, flamingo, quad stretch Moroccan Night ClubsThe Thang:
The Thang
Pavilion Dora (w/partner)...except instead of running, the switch-trigger was the 20 reps of an exercise). So...Partner A does 20 merkins while Partner B does as many burpees as they can. You switch as soon as Partner A is done with the 20 merkins. If, for example, Partner B did 6 burpees, then Partner A starts counting his burpees at 7 while Partner B does 20 merkins. Repeat through 100 total Burpees. (We'll have the IronPax bros do a video on it).
