THE THANG:
Pyramid counting with reps @ 40x30x20x10 that aimed to build a strong base with our legs, while our partner countered by building upon their shoulders with either shoulder shrugs or raises.
Legs included –
– Lunges
– Goblet Squats
– Pulsating lunges
– Pulsating squats
– Side lunges
– Jump squat
– Pulsating side lunges
The Wide Goblet squat was modified into an Iron Sumo Squat Circle.

PEOPLE’S MARY:
– 14 rounds of Mary with a triple set of crunchy frogs.

MOLESKIN/ANNOUNCEMENTS:
It was an honor to organize and lead the Fittest of Harrisburg. The pressure was on with being tasked to make it challenging, but also allowing for modifications for those seeking to adjust their level of excitement. With a goal to create accountability and bring some heat to our legs – we joined together for a regime that will surely last throughout the weekend.
The crew moaned, groaned, and chattered through the challenge as we worked on our legs which aimed for an aggressive SUM count of 40 reps – while our partners supported their shoulders with reps of shrugs and raises. Additional rounds were not achieved, but the pyramid count continued on with 30 reps of an Iron Sumo Squats Circle – in gratitude for @exit54 introducing me to the group. A final round of People’s Mary summed up the morning.
A huge thank you to the PAX for the support and their leadership for entrusting me with taking on the WOD. I look forward to taking on the challenge again with learned lessons in mind.
Reminders:
– Going going gone: local shoe store is going out of business with a huge discount starting tomorrow!
– 10 Burpees a day keeps the doctor away…keep up the effort in this challenge by @Wexler.
– @Solocup has challenged us to pray for our fellow F3 Pax partners and let’s continue to uplift those that are anonymous.
