The rain had all but stopped and 8 PAX posted for a snotwoggling event…BATTLE! This week featured YHC and Hustler on the Q sheet. YHC was going to take the 1st 30 minutes. Two ideas came to mind but the one that intrigued me the most, I couldn’t put it together to work the way I wanted to so we adjusted. Here’s the THANG!
Conditions: 40 and very overcast. Slight mist
YHC began by running to the school covered entrance. Circle up.
12 SSH IC
12 Burpees OYO
10, 8, 6, 4, 2.
Run to the BATTLE LOOP Pad. 2 PAX grab a concrete cylinder and place one at each of the pull up bars.
Each PAX will perform 7 Squat Thrust Burpee Pull ups. The other PAX will run the BATTLE LOOP until the pull up bars are open. 3 Laps were completed.
Plank for 1:30 seconds.
For the final 5 minutes we had to round off the burpees and since we’d done 49…we had to do 51 for an even 100. Since we’re near the pull up bars, and it’s BATTLE, let’s do the same number of pull ups or AMRAP until time is called. So, 51 burpees and 51 pull ups to complete the first 30 minutes.
HUSTLER takes over and immediately heads for the opposite side of campus to the football field. Now it’s HUSTLER SQUATS, HUSTLER MERKIN PYRAMID, and HUSTLER BURPEE SUISIDES. Let me explain in detail how much this sucked!
HUSTLER SQUATS:
1 Monkey Humper 4 Squats
2 Monkey Humpers 8 Squats
3 Monkey Humpers 12 Squats…All the way to 10 and 40!
HUSTLER MERKIN PYRAMID:
1 Merkin 4 Military Press
2 Merkins 8 Military Press…you see where this is going. HOWEVER, he threw a wrench in it…why you may ask, because it’s BATTLE and that’s what you do.
Since this is a PYRAMID, we went all the way to 10 merkins and 40 Military Press. Then we went back down to 1. SUCKFEST!!!!!!!!
To finish this half of the workout off, Hustler felt like we needed a little more running and burpees.
Start at the goal line and perform a burpee suicide.
Run to the 10 perform 1 burpee. Backwards run back to the goal line.
Run to the 20 perform 2 burpees. Backwards run back to the goal line.
Run to the 30 perform 3 burpees. Backwards run back to the goal line.
So on and so forth until you’ve done the entire field. Oh by the way, the opposite 40, 30, 20, 10 and goal line were 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. He didn’t let anyone slide back down that ladder. Exhaustion has fully set in.
