Preamble:
Boxing Day Beatdown at 0515 at the Gladiator. Last night, YHC began to wonder if anyone else would actually post, but fortunately HCs from stalwarts Scratch-off and Dreamer rolled in. Then again, Dreamer is expecting a baby any minute now so that HC wasn't so H, but at least the thought was there. Scratch-off and I returned from the pre-run. After a few minutes Dreamer, Brownie, and Dark Side rolled in. It's time to go.Warm-O-Rama:
Mosey to the coupon pile and grab a lifting rock. Head over to the pavilion. I meant to do a warm-up here, but forgot.The Thang:
Originally I was searching for a different board of pain, but came across a memorable entry from Caffey (https://www.f3alpha.com/backblast/2022/01/25/smells-like-teen-spirit-at-academy/) and decided to use it instead. A couple modifications to accommodate 45 minutes rather than an hour, and we were ready to go. 4 exercises per round. After each round, mosey the pond loop (approx 1/8 mile). All exercises Alpha- Round 1, squats x 25, stepups x 15, dips x 25, v-ups x 25
- Round 2, overhead press x 25, HR mercans x 25, burpees x 15, LBC x 25
