This theme was continued with overhead tricep press, rut Ā rows, wonder bras, bus drivers, and ground powers. We also mixed in some other back and shoulders drills with the small rocks. Then put back the rocks and mosey to the playground for step ups, TuT dips, box jumps, more Ā TuT dips.

Farva’s 35th Birthday Beatdown

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , ,

FNGs:N/a
Warm Up:4 for 2+ miles EC then returned to find a parking lot full of PAX who had no idea what they were in for. Did a quick mosey around the parking lot along with some line agility drills, circled up for side straddle hops, arm circles forward and reverse, seal claps, overhead claps, and good mornings.
The Workout: I told everyone to partner up by size and what weight theyā€™d like to use. There were 2 45lb plates, 2 35lb plates, 2 25lb plates, 2 70lb dumbbells, and a 75(ish)lb atlas stone. Then I proceeded to lay out the Farva 35 challenge.

Fun with Dora

Alley work

Rinse and Repeat

Victory Lap

And finally 35 man maker burpees

First Dora using one of the plates was 100 curls for the girls(in cadence), 100 overhead press (in cadence), 100 tricep extensions(in cadence), and 50 merkins together with your partner. The Pax that wasnā€™t doing the reps ran line agility down the parking lot and back before switching.

Alley work- grab a dumbbell or atlas stone and go down half of the alley and back. Switch with your partner as needed, the partner not carrying the weight would bear crawl or duck walk.

Rinse and repeat, but the Dora this time was 100 weighted squats(cadence), 100 mtn climbers(cadence), 100 chair kicks, and 50 monkey humpers (in cadence) together with your partner. The pax not doing reps wentĀ down and back as before. Then back to the alley to finish the rinse and repeat.

Next was a victory lap around the school to celebrate what youā€™d just accomplished.

Finally this beatdown was to end with 35 man maker burpees.

Mary: All pax helped finish out the Burpees with no time to spare.
Announcements: Q sheet opportunities
