Lunge Walk entire length of Brick Benches

20 x CDD
Run to top of Hill near sidewalk where we alternate 5 x (5 pairs of cones 1 at top and 1 at bottom):
5 x Burpees at top of hill
Run down hill to corresponding cone
5 x Bombjacks

MOLESKIN
Grinder/Smokfest whatever you want to call it. Some workouts are about mentally just hanging in there and continuing to put one foot in front of the other. This was designed to do just that. But what a great feeling knowing all the PAX knocked it out of the park! One of my favorite sounds is the initial sound of groans and moans when you announce what’s next. My second favorite is to watch pax physically overcome that mental obstacle. There may be a few choice 4 letter words along the way directed at the Q, but the end result is normally fist bumps and hand shakes and maybe the occasional spillage of merlot.
Smoky, Swiss & GJ were bringing the speed and stamina and the rest of us not far behind!
Just a good old fashion Bootcamp Loop Beatdown!
Excellante!!!
ANNOUNCEMENTS

So, Dream threatened to donkey kick me after the 100 APs when I mentioned we had been doing donkey kicks half of the number of APs. Fortunately for me, EE ignored me.
Smokey was a man on a mission. EE mentioned weighing a buck fitty helps.
Good to see SM back out.
Pretty sure Shepherd was skipping some of those LBC reps. Or maybe he has those Pastoral Abs of Steel.
This was an absolute grinder. Those burpees at the top of the hill, bombjacks at the bottom was just painful to get through. I guess seeing how much more you still had to do was the depressing part.
Glad we set a record….sort of
A buck fitty? Smoky is like a buck soaking wet!
I still am in shock at how quickly Shep cranked out the LBC’s! I am sure he honestly counted all 35 since he is a pastor! But 50+ and O2 deprived can certainly mess with anyone’s count.
Was great to have Swiss back out for sure! If you want an example of working out with extremely good form, Swiss makes each rep count!!
