Wheel of Misfortune and too many reps

Since I was going to be DR for my birthday, I decided to do my birthday Q a day early. I wanted a good one and didn’t realize how good it was.
WARMUP: SSH, windmills
THE THANG: We picked up Cindy and took her down to the elementary school playground. Around the loop, about 15-20 yards apart were 6 stations.
They included:
10 OH Press
25 Decline Merkins
25 Curls
25 Squats with the block on your back
25 Big Boys with the block
25 Chest Press
25 Bent over rows
Run around the playground.

My intention was to do 420 reps, but we all know what happens when we try to count when we are working out, so we ended up with 3 rounds of 480 reps.

MARY: Everyone called something for the last 5 minutes
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter. Lots of opportunities to give back.
COT: Prayers for a good 43rd trip around the sun.

“No Mercy” Monday @ STL

WARMUP: NONE
THE THANG:
19 men took off at quickly for No Mercy Monday. After a quick mosey to South State Bank, we fired up the legs with 5 Bonnie Blairs to get loose.

From there, we charged down Dave Gibson Blvd to the bottom under the light pole — 5 Jump Squats at the base — then sprinted back up that glorious hill of pain. At the top, we pushed toward the school where, under the next light post, we knocked out 5 Apollo Onos before turning around and heading back for more.

Rinse and repeat. Several rounds. Just under 5 miles of pure burn, grind, and grit.

Bones and Farmers Only quietly crushed it, while Sasquatch somehow wasn’t even breaking a sweat while he led the pack and completed each excercise with amazing form.

Legs smoked. Lungs torched. Mission accomplished.
