50 Curls
75 Flutters with Press

There was also a 20 minute timer on this. All pax finished just under the 20 minutes mark.

Next Phase
All pax line up in an Indian run format. The 6 will do 5 squats. We run for a minute then do a minute of an exercise. 8 rounds.

The exercises were
Bent over rows
Lunges
Big boy sit ups
Burpee jump overs.

Did this right up until 6:00am.

Theme today was motivation. Do you rush through to get the reps done…do you take your time and try to run out the clock. Or do you have a consistent approach that maximizes your effort and results. Only you know.

Thanks to Brawny for the opportunity to lead!

Are you not entertained?

WARMUP: right to business, broke out into two teams

THE THANG: 4 levels of action:
Round 1) work you way through exercises by flipping over papers, you either advance, go back, or go back to start and have to redo the exercises.
– squats
– American hammers
– Lbc
– Burpees
– Merkins
– ANd more

Round 2) cinder block relay/dora. Teams had to go end to end with the blocks and a KB and use the KB as the baton for the next guy.

Round 3) card sharks, every card had a work out associated, you needed to guess if the next card is higher or lower and do the workout, if you guess wrong you do the exercise and guess again.

Round 4) sandbag relay with man maker stops.

Hats off to Barkey, Brawny, and Conundrum for taking the crown!

MARY: LBC, Box Cutter, flutters, heels to heaven and others
