After 4 months of beat downs, Shake It decided it was time to be the architect of his own demise. After 7 pax worked on their spartan skills at EC (and 2 other pax got their rucks on and walked a mile or so before being trucked back in), 33 pax strapped up to kick their own behinds

WU Warm-up lap. 20x SSH, 10x WMH , 10x Arm Circles, 10x Reverse Arm Circle, 10x Carolina Dry Docks. All exercises done in cadence.

The Thang:

The PAX moseyed over to the infamous rock garden and were instructed to grab a two-handed rock that they could travel with and perform PT with. (Not a small rock in each hand Mumbles). A massive array of rocks were selected including some with tremendous girth. Rocks in tow, the PAX jogged down the trail to the playground. Shake It lead the PAX with 20 single count bent-over rows, tricep extensions, rock in front squats, and alternating shoulder press. PAX got to their six and performed 10 cadence count Russian hammers with their rocky playmates. The PAX then moseyed to the grass field and performed walking lunges to midfield and back and side shuffle squats to midfield and back while holding rocks. Shake It lead the PAX back to the center circle and repeated the round of PT performed at the playground. The Q was then handed over to Doogie.

And thats where the fun ended.

Jacob”s ladder –

Start at the end line, run to the 6, 6 burpees, run back to end line, 1 merkin

Run to the 18, 5 burpees, end line, 2 merkins… half field… opposite 18… opposite 6.. opposite end line, 1 burpee, back, 6 merkins – while we waited for the 6, everyone walking lunged. And I mean everyone, regardless of how much mumblechatter there was.

Next the pax lined up along the end line – low squat hold, 5 count down the line – bear crawl to the 18 and back – next high plank hold, 5 count down the line – duck walk to the 18 and back – next flutter kicks, 5 count down the line, crab walk to the 18 and back – and as a finisher, a 1 sided merkin pyramid – 1, 2, 3, …. 10, 15 (y”all can thank Moxie for that last 15).
