During each AMRAP exercise one man from the circle carried a 70lb sandbag 40 yards. This person acted as the push. Upon his return, another HIM grabbed the sandbag and the next exercise commenced. At the end of the 12-exercise cycle everyone did 5 burpees OYO followed by 45 seconds of Balls to the Wall. Then rinse and repeat. The PAX completed 3 rotations before Omaha was called.
MOM:
- Flutter Kicks – 20 IC
- Marge & Homer
- American Hammers – 30 IC
MUMBLE CHATTER:
AC/DC’s Live Album powered the PAX through the workout so there wasn’t a lot of mumble chatter. However, during Balls to the Wall Peekaboo inquired how Safe Ride was keeping track of the time. Safe Ride is old school and keeps time in his head. Unfortunately, Peekaboo’s question caused Safe Ride to lose count of the 45 seconds. This might have resulted in a few extra seconds of BTTW.
COT:
Safe Ride found the following quote during his prep work for Heavy Metal’s beatdown and recited it to the PAX:
“Weightlifting is about lifting the impossible, overcoming the unachievable. If you don’t lift things that are hard, and only do the things you can do, it’s only going to get boring. Unless you want to lift beyond your limits to get stronger, to achieve new goals, and to be satisfied, you got to lift past these challenges, and still lift the things you think are impossible to really understand how your true strength will show.” Everyone can take this quote and apply it to their personal and professional lives, as well as their fitness.
