10 Days to School

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 20 SSH, 10 Hillbilly Walkers, 10 Goofballs
THE THANG:
Backblast – The Forge
Q: Jason
Workout: Ladder to 10
Distance: Just under 4 miles
Great work by everyone who showed up at The Forge this morning. The focus was simple: keep moving, build the volume, and embrace the cumulative fatigue.
We tackled a progressive ladder workout. After each round, we ran a lap before adding the next movement. Every round started back at the beginning of the ladder, so the reps steadily accumulated while the legs never got much of a break.
The Ladder

  • 1 Jump Squat
  • 2 Lunges
  • 3 Squats
  • 4 Burpees
  • 5 Merkins
  • 6 Big Boys
  • 7 LBCs
  • 8 Carolina Dry Docks
  • 9 Mountain Climbers
  • 10 Side-Straddle Hops (SSH)

Format

  • Round 1: 1 Jump Squat → Run a lap
  • Round 2: 1 Jump Squat + 2 Lunges → Run a lap
  • Round 3: 1 Jump Squat + 2 Lunges + 3 Squats → Run a lap
  • Continued adding one exercise each round until completing all 10 movements.

By the end, we had logged 10 laps for just under 4 miles, while knocking out a full-body beatdown that challenged the legs, core, chest, shoulders, and lungs.
Totals Completed

  • 10 Jump Squats
  • 18 Lunges
  • 24 Squats
  • 28 Burpees
  • 30 Merkins
  • 30 Big Boys
  • 28 LBCs
  • 24 Carolina Dry Docks
  • 18 Mountain Climbers
  • 10 SSH

Message of the Day (MOTD):
Big goals aren’t accomplished in one giant leap—they’re built one step, one rep, and one lap at a time. Consistency compounds. Keep showing up, trust the process, and before long you’ll look back and realize you’ve gone farther than you ever thought possible.
Thanks to all the HIMs who pushed the pace, encouraged one another, and made The Forge stronger this morning.
It was an honor to lead. Aye!

Simple and sweaty

Leave a comment

I saw something online about how the 21-15-9 series was the most optimal workout routine so I decided to test it out. Quick disclaimer, light jog around the lot, some warm-up stretches, then pick up bags and move to front of school.

21 reps each of clean and presses, bent over rows, and jump overs. Front rack carry bag to end of columns and back. Repeat same 3 exercises but 15 reps of each. Bear hug carry bag to end and back. 9 reps of same 3 exercises then front rack carry down and back.

Next series is walk over push ups, squats with bag on back, and over the shoulders. 21 of each, single shoulder carry down and back. 15 of each, other shoulder carry, 9 of each, then front rack carry down and back.

Over head carry to end of columns. Bag toss to next cross walk. Back to COT and finish with 21 big boys. Solid work by all PAX. Thanks for opportunity @U088CUMTQ05
