12 of Harrisburg’s most committed met in the Stallings Park parking lot to try and get just a little bit better.  Here’s how it went:

Warm-a-rama:

Mosey to the tennis courts.

  1. SSH x15
  2. Penny Pickers x15
  3. Imperial Storm Troopers x15
  4. Something else I think?

The Thang:

Start on curb next to the fence, doing the following exercises:

  1. Curls x20
  2. Lawnmowers x20 (each arm)
  3. Tricep Extensions x20
  4. High Rows x20
  5. Chest press x20

Single arm overhead carry to opposite side of the parking lot for 20 merkins and return to the fence, carrying the weight with other arm.

Repeat the six exercises, decreasing by two:

  1. Curls x18
  2. Lawnmowers x18 (each arm)
  3. Tricep Extensions x18
  4. High Rows x18
  5. Chest press x18

Single arm overhead carry to opposite side of the parking lot for 20 merkins (always 20!) and return to the fence, carrying the weight with other arm.

Drop down to 16, then 14, etc.

I think a couple guys got all the way through the reverse ladder. Nice work!

Mary:

  1. Freddie Mercuries x15
  2. LBC’s x15
  3. Crunchy Frogs x15
  4. Squirm x15

Announcements/Prayers:

  1. Friday July 14:  Streetlight 5K & Frolic
  2. Standing prayers for Lilly, Christian and Josh.
  3. Prayers for Constitution and Colonel Steve for safe travels this week, and those of us traveling next week.
