BHAG at the Hive

Leave a comment

YHC was making up for a missed Q two weeks ago due to sickness. As I was reviewing previous backblasts, I came up with a Big Hairy Audacious Goal for the workout to circle the entire FMHS while carrying the KB with pain stations along the way. I hadn’t seen it done so that was the plan.

Weather was perfect. Felt like an early Fall and time for college football.

WARMUP:

SSH x 10
Windmills x 10
Merkins x 10
Arm Circles x 10

THE THANG:

With the BHAG of circling the school, which is approximately 1.5 miles, we moseyed stopping (4) times for the following:

21 KB swings
18 Upright rows
15 Goblet squats
12 Curls
9 Tricep extensions
6 Manmakers

MARY:

Finished at the end with a circuit of the following:

LBCs
Flutters
