Jacob’s Ladder

Conditions: It was a lightened start to the day with a beautiful, clear blue sky and a temperature of 35 degrees.

Nine PAX posted for the beatdown this morning. The disclaimer was stated prior to the start of the workout and all agreed to the values of F3 with an AYE!

Warm-a-Rama: With the exception of jogging five laps around the Shimerville Rd parking lot, all exercises were performed in cadence for 20 reps.

The PAX was instructed to take a 3/4 lap mosey around The Bee Hive and meet under the second pavilion next to the little league field and squat hold until six was called. Great mumble chatter was had during this time.

“Thang:” The “Thang” today was a 10 to 1 Ladder Workout composed of six exercises. Premise of the workout was to start at 10 reps of each exercise and progress all the way down to one rep of each exercise. Spotting was provided to some of the PAX during pull-ups for those needing that little help to accelerate, as well as, to two of the 2.0’s. A few highlights of the “Thang” was watching Abscess accelerate to complete pull-ups with PAX pick up at times, 2.0’s hopping onto Dynamite’s back, as a human weight vest, for him to perform push-ups and two pull-ups, and watching the encouragement provided by all PAX to each other to sharpen one another. This is what F3 is all about! Great job, HIM’s! eh hem… the exercises performed in the listed order are as follow:

    Merkins
    Squats
    Big Boy Sit-Ups
    Burpees
    Pull-ups
    Bonnie Blair’s

Mosey back to shovel flag for completion of interest Circle Burps x10 reps, and a small round of Mary.

Mary: It was dealers choice for only four exercises x10 reps in cadence (for two exercises) and standard count for the first and last exercises.

    Pickle Pushers
    Freddie Mercury’s
