On the 3rd and Final installment of Alpo’s Trifecta, things got a little interesting.

Memorial Day YHC created two ThunderSticks filled with sand that shook the scales at 47 lbs.  Looking to increase the difficulty, two more were created using concrete that weigh in at 63 lbs each.  So today we took them to an inaugural spot yet to be sweat and struggled upon.  Here’s how it all went down.

Conditions: Hot and Muggy, dry

Disclaimer: Not given

Warm Up: 5 Rds

5 PullUps & 5 Dips

 

Mosey to the Death Strip (aka Sunshine House) to get a little wild with some #ThunderSticks.  Operating from the grass on the North end of the parking lot down to the tree in the middle, we performed laps of each exercise passing off to one another.  A total of 8 super sets were completed.

 

The THANG

Bear Crawl

Broad Jump

Lunge Walk w/TS

Rifle Carry w/Coupon or TS

*Burpee Starters were used prior to some of the sets.

**Cumulative work during the sets:

25 Curls/10 Alpos

or

50 Curls/25 Alpos

 

Circle Merks (15 Merkins during a planked convo)

 

Mr. ED: On the final run we did an It Pays To Be A Winner Race for 5/15 Burpees back at the Prison Yard.  Team 2 lost, but controversy was present so Team 1 knocked out 15 as well.  Do the harder thing, right!?

 

COT

Announcements: Saturday, Epicenter at 0600

Prayers:

  • Jugs ticker isn’t quite tocking like it should be.  He’s got a Dr’s appt on 6/20
  • 2c has some friends in need of some friends and support.

NMM:

Sugar, Belle, Sour, Duggar, Alpo, Tootsie, Encino Man wore Weight Vests

Crash & Jugs wore Rucks

The fact that so many have chosen to increase their intensity with additional weight is very impressive!

 

There was an incessant amount of mumblechatter to be had by the sheer closeness with which the 12 of us worked.  The natural flow of the workout allowed for a more controlled intensity.  A days worth of work was put in by all.  The ThunderSticks bring out a different dynamic that will be tested and trialed by each new Q.

Honored to share the gloom with men of such efforts.
