10 PAX met for a post-New Year’s Party to celebrate launching into 2022 with the right state of mind…whether they knew it ahead of time or not. 4 PAX came early to knock out some EC miles and shake things out ahead of some serious steel work. Without further ado, let’s get to work.

    • YHC explained Escalator 20-22s
    • Escalator 20-22s:
      • Round 1: PAX will complete 20 reps of an exercise at the base of the hill, then run up the hill stopping at each island to do 5 burpees, and then 2 more burpees at the top, for a total of 22 burpees, then run back down for round 2
      • Round 2: PAX will complete 20 reps of original exercise and add 20 reps of the next exercise, then head up the hill knocking out 22 burpees as we did before…
      • Exercises – all with steel:
        • Curls
        • OH Press
        • Goblet squats
        • Bent over rows
        • Front raises
      • Round 3 & 4: Jump squats as we work up the hill
      • Round 5: Burpees up the hill
      • Round 6: Same 5 exercises as Round 5, but change to Thrusters with steel up the hill
      • Total rep count: 400
      • Drop steel at pile and head back for Mary…

Prayers for Sweatervest, his M, and their family, as they mourn the sudden loss of his father-in-law over the holidays.

COT:

I don’t know about the PAX, but YHC loves the beginning of a new year. We get to start fresh. We get to remember what we’ve accomplished or not. We get to take our inventory in whatever way we want. We get to set goals for the next year. We get to give thanks. Let’s try to do all of this in the most positive way possible, and carry that feeling into our lives as best we can. Aye!
