On this crisp August morning 14 of the area’s select showed up at the DawgHouse for week 2 of the Iron Pax Challenge.  The PAX was warned ahead of time of the impending suckiness but these gents weren’t skeered.  After some pre-beatdown scouting(thanks Spauldini) the watch hit 0530 so off we went.  Here’s how it went down.

 

THE THANG

4 sets x 8 minutes

Perform as many reps as possible in 8 minutes.  After 25 reps run 25 yards out and back.  Rest 2 minutes between sets.  Use a 25 lb-ish concrete block (except for Tugboat who opted for the dumbbell).

 

Set 1:  Thrusters

Set 2:  Curls

Set 3:  Swings

Set 4:  Manmakers

 

Count-off and Name-a-rama

 

COT

 

PRAYER REQUESTS

–Virgil’s boss Elijah

–Rerun’s M’s Uncle Clay

–Bullseye’s father

 

MOLESKIN:

–This was a tough one.  8 minutes is a long time to do 1 exercise.  It definitely tests your muscle endurance and stamina.  Also its a big mental challenge because you have to keep pushing more than maybe you’re used to.

–On the other hand those 2 minute rests were way too fast!!!

–Gloves were an absolute requirement for this challenge.  32 minutes working with those blocks were rough on those Calgon hands.  Think some of the guys may have to get a touch-up on those manicures.

–Look forward to seeing what F3Greenwood comes up with next week.  It’s really cool to see guys all over F3Nation participating in this.
