F3 > Gladiator @ the Big House

YHC wanted to hit the Big House early to scope out the terrain and make sure it was appropriate for the planned workout. In the distance by the baseball fields there was another car sitting there. Curious as to who else would be at outside at 5AM when it’s below 30 degrees, YHC made a pass by to see a guy with a table and cone course set up in the parking lot and a “Gladiator” sign. While trying to read the sign YHC inadvertently ran over one of his cones and yeah, I kept going. Turf wars are on. I circled back to the launch point to see 6 PAX awaiting their Monday medicine. Quick disclaimer given and off we went:

COP

• SSH x 25
• MC x 25
• Windmill x 10
• Cherry Pickers x 10

The Thang (far parking lot from launch)

• Sprint to 1st island, recover to the end of parking lot (repeato x4)
• Merkin Walk along the curb
• Dips x25
• Turbo Leg Ups x25 each leg
• Full Parking Lot Sprint + short recover loop past Gladiator man and back
• Diamond Merkin Walk along the curb
• Dips x25
• Box Jumps x25
• Full Parking Lot Sprint + short recover loop past Gladiator man and back

4 Corners (partner up) = Exercise for 30 sec high intensity, then rotate to next station

• Merkins
• Partner Ab work
• Dips
• Burpee broad jumps

YHC thought he remembered a hill from the last time posting at The Big House. The “Hill” was not quite as daunting as I remembered, however it did the trick for a backwards Bear Crawl ladder:

• x5 (bombjacks at the bottom, bear crawl to the top, burpees at the top, jog to the bottom)
• x4 (bombjacks at the bottom, bear crawl to the top, burpees at the top, jog to the bottom)
• repeato until 1
• COT

Moleskin

Definitely appreciate the invitation from Dumpsterfire and Cheddar to come out and Q the Big House. Hopefully your free workout courtesy of YHC was better than what Gladiator man was cooking up for roughly $30 a pop. Solid work by Tagalong and Shrink Wrap as they have been constants at this site and Fat Camp. Tagalong brought the speed on the sprints. Pulp Fiction didn’t even seem winded, almost as if he was down for another 45min. Great to meet Tool Bag in person, seen the name many of times now have a mug to put to it.
