Shoots and Ladders + 7’s

/in /by

YHC pulled in just in time with only 1 other car waiting in the parking lot of Kenny’s Grave. Visiting today was none other than Maddog2020 and RogerRoger. We didn’t have enough for basketball but we did incorporate our shooting skills. Here’s what went down.

Each PAX takes a free throw shot. If you miss we do the exercise. We add an exercise on each additional miss, like stack’em. If someone makes it, we take the exercise away

We learned that Maddog2020 has mad hoop skills. We never got past the burpees since we kept making buckets.

I wanted to relive some old school workouts at PT so that’s what we did. Everyone survived but not without some moaning and groaning. Heck I think I ever moaned some from my stupid ideas.
