Disclosure and prayer that the workouts wouldn’t get easier but, rather, we would get stronger in relation to them.

THE THANG:
Line running calesthenics across the lot over to stop signs. More side shuffles, Toy Soldiers and funky chickens. Then we turned around and did wind sprints/jail breaks from one end to the other a few times before…
Mosey to the Ridge for 15, 10 and 5 reps (3 sets) of incline merkins, decline merkins and dips, up the hill to do jump squats each round (15, 10 and 5 accordingly).
Mosey to concession stand for the main event.
Circuit rotation/domino workout: Each person took one of the 8 stations. Once the timer completed their reps, we rotated stations.
Timer: Murderbunny PAX with concrete block—about 25 yarss each way (to the fence)
When murderbunny man finishes, he swaps places with PAX, and that PAX moves to the next circuit training spot.

Hold the coupon at chest height.
Perform a full squat until elbows touch or pass the knees.
