Bucco Fever!!!

Leave a comment

It’s a great Monday here in the Gloom as America’s team; the Pittsburgh Pirates are currently in first place. Much like a solar eclipse or Haley’s comet this is a rare occurrence so YHC busted out the Bucco gear for todays workout.

Warmup: None it’s STL

The Thang:

Starting at the stop sign closest to COT we did 1 burpee

Then ran to the parking lot for Southern State Bank where we did 4 HR Merkins and 4 LBC’s.

Wash, rinse repeat the route increasing the burpee count by 1 each lap and the Merkin and LBC counts by a factor of 4.

1 x 4
2 x 8
3 x 12
4 x 16
5 x 20
6 x 24
7 x 28
8 x 32
9 x 36
10 x 40

The route was roughly .4 miles total so a decent run in between the pain stations. Also featured was an “acceleration whistle” so when I would blow the whistle everyone would have to sprint for 10 seconds. Just to make sure everyone keeps pushing.

That said I’m confident that everyone got to at least round 7 which means everyone got between 3-4 miles in with well over 150 Merkins/LBC’s. (plus burpees!)

Always honored to lead thanks to Badlands for the call.

Take care everyone!
