Ascending-descending @ the Mill
All BackBlasts BackblastsMarch 2nd, 2018
13 men including an FNG posted for a blustery day at the mill for a never ending cycle of ascending-descending exercises in the parking deck….
Quick disclaimer for the FNG and mosey to the parking deck for:
SSH’s x 25 IC…pax amazed QIC didn’t go to 50 IC
Hillbillies x 15 IC
SLOW cotton pickers x 15 IC
Arm circles, forward & backward
The THANG:
Ascending-descending exercises on EVERY level of the parking deck…
Level 1: WWII’s..run up first ramp..Merkins x 10
(start at 1 WWII run up ramp for 10 merkins…back down for 2 WWII’s up for 9 merkins…not complete until reach 10 WWII’s and 1 merkin)….move to next level for same sequence but different exercises/reps
Level 1.5: KGB’s to Air Squats x 15
Level 2: V-up’s to Hand release merkins x 10
Level 2.5: LBC’s to Starjumps x 15
Level 3: Core Killers to Burpees x 10 BUT NO ONE MADE IT TO THIS LEVEL
Mary…no time for mary
Prayer requests/announcements: Get your rear in gear 5K tomorrow for prostate cancer, Wings of Eagles tomorrow (slack has more details), Prayers for Matt Chaney as he’s undergoing chemo for his cancer as well as Brian, Stephanie, & especially Ella Floyd who’s an infant and due to a heart defect will need a heart transplant. Pray that she receives what she needs as GOD’s WILL has predetermined. Grandmaster made a great point after the prayer that we need to remember that a family will probably have to lose a young child in order for her to receive a new heart so keep this unknown family in your prayers too.
Moleskin:
Had 2 first time bi-paxuals visit Kannon today…thanks to Deer Tick and Private Ryan for making the trip up and Private Ryan even brought FNG Chris..welcome to you brother. This was QIC’s first trial run with this workout and admittedly had no idea how many levels we could get through but have much better idea how to scale back reps so we can complete the ENTIRE deck, 11 levels counting the half levels, doing this for a future beat down. Number of reps definitely has to be decreased due to the transitions up and down the ramps between sets so we can complete all levels. Today’s mileage just in parking deck with all of the ramp running was approximately 2 miles.
Always an honor,
