“No Mercy” Monday @ STL

Leave a comment

WARMUP: NONE
THE THANG:
19 men took off at quickly for No Mercy Monday. After a quick mosey to South State Bank, we fired up the legs with 5 Bonnie Blairs to get loose.

From there, we charged down Dave Gibson Blvd to the bottom under the light pole — 5 Jump Squats at the base — then sprinted back up that glorious hill of pain. At the top, we pushed toward the school where, under the next light post, we knocked out 5 Apollo Onos before turning around and heading back for more.

Rinse and repeat. Several rounds. Just under 5 miles of pure burn, grind, and grit.

Bones and Farmers Only quietly crushed it, while Sasquatch somehow wasn’t even breaking a sweat while he led the pack and completed each excercise with amazing form.

Legs smoked. Lungs torched. Mission accomplished.

Descending the ladder (run a lap between each round)

Round 6: 2 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions
