9 grown men weren’t skeered and posted for the IPC…we are giving Backstop and All In man-credit for showing up.  It went something like this:

2021 IPC Week 2: “Crazy 88’s” – 4 Rounds for Time

Requirements: Football field (sideline to sideline) or some other large area with two parallel lines measured out 160 feet apart. 1 Coupon (Cinder Block) per PAX.

Round 1: Burpees & Sprinting

Do 8 Burpees on the sideline, sprint to the far sideline and do 8 more. Continue until the 11th set of 8 Burpees are complete (88 total)

Round 2: Squrls & Coupon Carries

Do 8 Squrls* on the sideline, coupon carry to the far sideline and do 8 more. Continue until the 11th set of 8 Squrls are complete (88 total)

*Squrl = Squat while curling coupon up to chest.

Round 3: Overhead Presses & Rifle Carries

Do 88 Overhead Presses on the sideline, rifle carry to the far sideline, do 88 more (176 total). Rifle carries may be done holding the coupon horizontally or vertically, but the arms alone are holding it up. Rx = No resting it on your head.

No Mary and smaller COT as 5 of the 9 had to split out before all were finished.

Moleskin:  I’ve been as vocal an opponent of the IPC in the past as anyone, but once you get past worrying about scoring and all the other shenanigans, it is just a real good opportunity to do a stupid hard workout that you would never Q yourself.  I just had to get over being a baby about it.  Tclaps to all that showed up, that was some serious work, and we are all better for it.  I don’t even care about modifications or not finishing every rep, it was a job well done by all.  Not to toot my own horn about yesterday’s workout (ok, maybe a little) but it was tough and special shout out to Project and KW for doing both.  Yours truly is feeling a bit pulverized right now after the last couple of days.  Trying to lose weight and eating at a deficit sure doesn’t help with recovery.  Tclaps to 2.0s Backstop and All In as well, hope you two don’t fall asleep in school.

Happy Hour Thursday at JBs!
