Capital Hill Burpee Ladder

8 Davis Lake pax gathered for YHC’s one year anniversary beat down. I didn’t make it a week long celebration like The Farm and opted for just one boot camp workout to celebrate. Although my first beat down was over at Mallard Creek Park, I tried to incorporate some of the exercises Pharaoh put me through on my first workout mostly the Burpee ladder with The Farm reminded YHC incorporated partner pick ups not throw downs.

Warm Up:

• Short Mosey
• SSH x 20 (IC)
• Merkins x 10 (IC)
• Mountain Climbers x 15 (IC)

The Thang:

• Short mosey to playground
• Partner up: Partner 1 does LBCs while Partner 2 does dips for 1 minute (switch)
• Partner 1 does Air Force situps while Partner 2 planks on his feet for 1 minute (switch)
• Mosey to Capital Hill doing 5 burpees at each light pole for a total of 25 burpees
• On the hill: At the bottom of the hill: partner throwdowns, then Partner 1 runs up the hill and does burpees at the top while Partner 2 at the bottoms does LBCs when Partner 1 returns switch the partner throwdown positions and then Partner 2 runs up the hill and does burpees while Partner 1 does LBCs at the bottom. Ladder of 7 to 1 where each person completes 7–>1 of each exercise

Moleskin

• Thanks for letting YHC celebrate his 1 year anniversary with you guys even if I have been AWOL for the last couple weeks
• I told The Farm after the workout that I felt like I could’ve pushed the Pax a little more, you guys have gotten stronger and faster than I remembered, sorry I held you back. I looked up after planking at the parking lot and there was Groove and Preamble already there and everybody else wasn’t far behind. Impressive work everyone!
• I was hoping to still see the meteor shower from the top of the hill but didn’t notice any, maybe we should’ve done more airborne mind benders.
• YHC might have EHed a guy who was running with his M this morning, we’ll see if he shows later. We’ll EH the guy with the headphones eventually, today he was wearing a back pack that made it look like he was training for a ruck event
