AMRAP World Tour

February 22, 2018

WHEN: 02/22/2018
QIC: Rambler
PAX: Appomattox, Rebar, Griswold, Beanbag, Mothman, Spooky, Nightshift, Nacho, Zika, Rambler

First off, thanks to Zika for coming down to AMRAP the past few weeks and moving some heavy stuff around with the BC crew. He also suggested that Paradise would be a great place to bring AMRAP to. After a quick logistics pow-wow, we set up an impromptu convergence: AMRAP at Paradise, the first stop in the AMRAP World Tour….it may be the last stop, that remains to be seen! If you are interested in bringing AMRAP to your AO, reach out to YHC, Chef Tell, or Griswold and we will make it happen.

YHC and Mothman took arrived early for an EC Ruck. Upon returning to the AO, we spotted 8 more PAX ready to unload the unofficial AMRAP world tour cargo vehicles.

Warmup:

SSH x20 IC
Imperial Walker x10 IC
Arm Circles x10 IC
Reverse Arm Circles x10 IC
Willie Mays Hays x10 IC
Merkins x10 IC

The Thang:

9 pain stations. One of which was bench press. The target for today was 1000 cumulative reps. Griswold’s Farmer Carry O Doom set the pace for rotating.

Farmer Carry: 230lb handles or 120lb of sandbags
Spot Bench Press
95# Bench Press
25# Slam Ball (modified to 25# dumbell bicep curls when the duct tape gave way)
10yd out and back Juggernaut (Walking Lunges with 30# Ruck on and carrying  25# dumbbells)
40/60# sandbag rows
30# Ruck 20″ Step Ups
32# Kettlebell single arm clean & press
Wrist/Forearm blaster

We made it through the circuit 3 times and hit 900 reps within the allotted time. Not wanting to leave those last 100 reps on the table, the cooldown was as follows:

Ring of Fire Bench Press/Plank
Corpse Pose

CoT:

Come to The Thicket on Monday 0500 to honor GRT Jerome Gonzalez. Touch base with Rambler if you have questions. Prayers for the Harris family; the mother unexpectedly passed away after a run. Prayers for Nightshift as he crushes a job interview today!

BOM:

“I didn’t come this far to only come this far”

Simply put, once you reach your goal, set a new one. The video says it much better than I could articulate.
