A solid group of 7 to start the week off right; a veritable Pantheon of Pax with 4 Spartans amongst us lower ranks. I knew I was going to have to up the suck factor so no one was bored, so I compiled a collection of the worst:

WARM UP

25 SSH IC

25 Mountain Climbers IC

*mosey to High St (corner of Chuck and Cambridge)*

LT. DAN

1 squat, 2 lunge steps

2 squats, 4 lunge steps…

…20 squats, 40 lunge steps

(the wheels fell off this one pretty quickly as folks started losing count…)

Abs for 6

BURPEE BROAD JUMP

3 burpees / 3 broad jumps to manhole (~25 yds?)

Abs for 6

INDIAN BEARCRAWL

(I heard BenGay exclaim ‘yessss’ under his breath when this was called…)

Two lines head-to-heel, line is constantly performing Merkins while last PAX bearcrawls to the front. Repeat until stop sign reached (~25 yds?)

(This was just absurd. Definitely gonna do it again…)

*mosey across Cambridge to hill*

JACOB’S LADDER

7 trips up the hill with burpees at the top, starting with and increasing by 2 (1st trip = 2 burpees…7th trip = 14 burpees)

(This was equally absurd. Everyone was quite lathered after…)

Abs for 6

COOL DOWN

25 American hammers (touching ground) IC

20 reverse crunches IC

50 flutter kicks OYO

50 LBCs OYO (called ‘Little Boy Sit-ups by Encino…)

20 BB sit-sups OYO

60 second plank

…

ANNOUNCEMENTS – Epicenter Saturday

PRAYER REQUESTS – F3WaffleHouse from Omaha that was hit while biking, Quickie’s neck injury, victims of the El Paso and Dayton shootings

NMM – I’ve been successfully EH’d into next year’s Spartan race and this workout proved I have a long way to go. Regardless of the absurdity, I can think of no better group of gentlemen to embrace the worst with.

Respectfully,

Inspector
