This is 40
All Rolling Stone BackblastsJanuary 22nd, 2018
YHC rolled up to CB with a 40# ruck to join 7 other Pax. Pox’ car had fully thawed allowing him to extract the shovel flag and put it in CBA’s manicured turf. As pre-blasted, this is the last dose of F3 hate I will ever receive. I wanted to make sure it was well earned.

THE THANG
Sorted out the bells so the PAX could choose their own adventure: 5 Ladders equaling 8 <– 5 X 8=40…get it?
Start at one end of a parking space with 7 of an exercise, then bear crawl to the other end of the parking space and do one rep of the other exercise. Then do 6 and 2, 5 and 3…and so on.
LESSON LEARNED – JUST USE A SINGLE PARKING SPACE…WE WENT TO THE END OF THE OPPOSING PARKING SPACE. THAT’S A LOTTA BEAR CRAWLIN’
Workouts are performed OYO and PAX choice as to which ladder they started with
- LADDER 1 – Clean and Press (each arm)/WWII

- Luigi mentioned The 4th Musketeer. According to their website “the Xtreme Character Challenge: a milestone in your life! 72 hours of adventure, challenge and inspiration (Thursday night through Sunday afternoon). Multiple teams of eight to ten men (21 and over) band together to face the rugged terrain in special locations to measure ourselves and each other.” He will be arranging a meeting shortly.

I can’t think of a better way to start off my 365th day of my 40th trip around the sun. I did this Year Compass exercise where you look back at the previous year and lay out this coming year. Many of the highlights involved F3 and you all. I hate that I will actually be out-of-town on my actual birthday, but today was great. Thanks.

Aye!
I will admit – I could only get 2 of the ladders done. That amount of bear crawling with a 40# was. no. joke.
How’d everyone else do?
Kilowatt – kudos on a great beat down and for bee sting it with the 40#!
On paper it looks like five little sets of simple exercises, but it didn’t feel little or simple.
I got 3.5 – looking forward to doing it again and going for 4.5
Bear crawl tip: Don’t drag your finger tip on the asphalt. You would think it goes with out saying but…
Haha – bee sting = beasting

[…] little more than 3 months ago, YHC Qed a base 8 ladder exercise with a bear crawl across two parking spaces. The ladder works like […]
