Ladder Do-Over
All Rolling Stone BackblastsMay 7th, 2018
0528 YHC swings into CBA in really perfect conditions. Shovel flag is still with Sugar. 0531 Big Red and Big Green make their appearance as Heatstroke rolls up. DISCLAIMER and then we’re down to the HT parking lot for some WARMARAMA

THE THANG
A 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 this:
- 7 of exercise A
- Bear Crawl
- 1 of exercise B
- Bear Crawl Back…then,
- 6 of exercise A
- Bear Crawl…
The lesson learned was that was a lot of bear crawlin’ (especially since at the time I was under 40# of weight in my ruck). To balance it out – this time was base 10 (9 and 1, then 8 and 2, etc.) this time, but the PAX only had to go to the end of ONE parking space.
Workouts are performed OYO and PAX choice as to which ladders they performed
- LADDER 1 – Clean and Press (each arm)/WWII
- LADDER 2 – Curls/MC
- LADDER 3 – Squat (Sumo or Goblet)/Merkins
- LADDER 4 – Lawnmower (each arm)/Burpees
- LADDER 5 – Swings/Carolina Dry Dock
Most PAX completed 2 ladders, some were rounding out 3. It was then time for MARY

MOLESKIN
If YHC’s math is correct, most PAX completed about 300 reps (10 reps per set, 10 sets per ladder, about 3 completed). So, the perfect number here would be base 7 as a challenge to complete all of the reps.
TClaps to Project for his commitment to active recovery, Heatstroke for using Big Green the ENTIRE time, FNG Sen for showing up and Bear for his new found consistency.

Aye!
Good one Kilowatt! I can definitely see a variation of that working for M3 as well. Funny how my view is starting to be filtered by “would this work as a balls-out timed workout?”
sorry, late night, I mean early morning with 2.6 and 2.8 so Golden Boy and I had to forgo the festivities; However great to know M3 thinking percolating through the Pax
