The Rope-A-Dope Circuit: 

YHC grabbed a few ideas from a BC several weeks ago at Boneyard with Rocking Chair to come up with this circuit. Since the big boy stairs are the signature feature at SnakePit, I used them on the timer station.  Due to time limitations, we had to cut it off after the first exercise of the sixth round, but everyone had enough by that time.

Station 1: “Timer Station” Farmers carry two blocks up to the first landing on the Big Boy Stairs. With each rotation, another landing was added to the distance. With bad knees, YHC was joined by Hoboken and we modified with just 10 paces of farmers carry toward the block pile, increasing the distance by 10 paces each round.
