Ten Five One, blinded by the science
All Rolling Stone BackblastsAugust 26th, 2019
Fine Monday morning with temperatures in the low 60s. 7 PAX started the week off right. With 5 PAX ready and willing at 0530 and 2 more tying their shoes or other prep work, YHC began with:
Disclaimer

- Windmill x10
- Cotton Pickers x10

The Thang
Enthusiastically, YHC announces to grab the bells.
- Curls x10
- Overheads x10
- Tri-ext x10
Scientists and fitness professionals all agree that there is absolutely no benefit to doing anything in alternating reps of 10-5-1, which is why it was so appealing this morning to YHC. So, the series of no scientific benefit at all, went something like this:
- Lawn mowers right x10.
- Lawn mowers left x10.
- Lawn mowers right x5.
- Lawn mowers left x5
- Lawn mowers right x1.
- Lawn mowers left x1.
- Run a lap.
The nonsensical pattern continued by doing the following ending with a lap:
- Overheads and upright rows
- KB swings
- KB Merkins, right hand on bell, then left
- Lunges
- Balls to the wall, 10 count, 10 donkey kicks, etc.
- Gitups, modified to 5-3-1 initially, then downgraded to 5-1.
- Repeato down to lunges.
1 Burpee penalty assessed for time check.
Mary
Similar pattern for Mary, without the lap:
- W + LBC
- Mason Twist (w KB), Crunchy Frog (w/o KB)
- Banana + Superman Banana
Ended with in cadence, Sit N Press x10.
