Pyramid of Pain

Quick disclaimer
And warmup
5 windmills, 10 IW/10MNC

Mosey to behind school on bball courts where the pyramid of pain was set up

5 stations, 4 corners and 1 in middle
Partner up ( work is completed together)
Each of the corners had a cone with an exercise listed
LBCs, CDDs, Squats Monkey Humpers and then Hand release merkins in the middle
The corners increase by 10 each round but the HR merkins stay at 10- changed to this after realizing that having to do 4 sets per round, and increasing would be impossible. So at the corners 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 ( didn’t make it to round 5)
Mode of transport changed every round:
Bear crawls
Crawl bears
Partner carrys
Wheel barrows
Leap frogs (we didn’t make it to this round)
Two teams got through the full 4 rounds without bat flipping- lots of modifications happened so ppl took my disclaimer to heart ?

Complex Math

16 at Minnow Pond for a test of speed and math skilz.
Simple loop around town, four stops
Stop 1 – COT – Merkins
Stop 2 – Pharmacy – LBCs
Stop 3 – Parking lot – SSHs
Stop 4 – Gazebo – Squats
Back to COT for lap 2
Rep count Lap 1 was 2 for everyone
Rep count Lap 2 was 4 for everyone
Rep count Lap 3 was 6 for everyone except the lead pax, 8 reps
additional laps: Lead Pax rep counts = 2 x prior lap reps
everyone else rep count = lap # x 2
Guys out front reach the 64 rep count based on the compounding.
Short lesson, compounding can be excellent when you are looking at saving money, over time it accumulates to a nice sum of money. On the other hand, when you have issues that go unchecked, they can result in a bigger problem down the road. Make sure you keep coming out, share what’s on your mind with your shield lock.
