Pecking Order

Pecking Order

Mosey to lower parking lot while doing Two-handed Presses and with stops for Merkins and Diamonds along the way.

Two-handed Swings while instructions were given out.

Round 1

5 Two-handed Swings, 5 Snatch (each arm), 5 Clean and Press (each arm), 5 High Pull (each arm), 5 Racked Squats, 5 Merkins…when done sprint up stairs and around median and when back get in line in front of stairs in position finished. Winner does 1 Burpee, 2nd does 2, 3rd does 3, etc. to last place. Do Merkins until last place finishes his Burpees.

Round 2

10 Two-handed Swings, 10 Snatch (each arm), 10 Clean and Press (each arm), 10 High Pull (each arm), 10 Racked Squats, 10 Merkins…Sprint

Round 3

15 of each…Sprint

Round 4

20 of each…Sprint

This workout looks short and sweet from the 10,000 foot level, but trust me, the competitiveness and pain it did bring! The men had no idea what was coming their way until a trend developed when we went from 5 of each to 10…No one thought we would go to 20, and they especially hoped we wouldn’t get there. But we did, 15 and 20 was a pure sufferfest…with the added penalty of burpees, it gave the encouragement and fire to get through it as fast as possible to end up near the front of the line. Dollywood and Fletch were killing it, and then Bulldog in his usual cunning British way got Dollywood to trade bells with him (Sage advice for the young crowd, when it comes to games or workouts, never trust Bulldog!) and up the suffering for Dollywood from 11 to, dare I say it was possible, a 12! Everyone was hammering themselves and really did take the challenge to make it through and no matter get the reps in. MAD was all in and you could see it on his face how hard he was pushing himself, he’s done a great job increasing his running ability since he started F3! Great to see Dropthrill out again and all the fine Brothers of Area 51! Thanks for the great sendoff Bulldog.

Thanks for letting me lead Harley, it is always a pleasure!

Thanks for a great Q Busch! I must admit that I was feeling confident when we were doing 5 reps. I thought 10 reps would be the max, and was wondering what the next plan would be. I was quite dismayed to see us go to 15 and then to 20 reps! However, I appreciate it now – will be sore for sure. And as for increasing my running ability, it’s a combination of no where to go but up (and I’m still very very slow, which is why I gravitate toward the gear work outs) and some modifications on the KB reps in order to have any gas left to run with. Everybody seemed to really be going strong today. Enjoyed the work out!

Always something crazy going on when Busch is on Q. Great simple smokefest brother.

Good to be back again at one of my favorite AO’s.
