That inner thigh work!

I’m running behind on this post so there’s no time for pleasantries, Cousin IT has summoned the #BB so here’s how it went.

Warm up- SSH (15 I/C), Cottom Pickers (10 I/C), 10 Tempo Merkins, 1 lap around the park with a stop @ top of the circle for 10 burpees.

The thang:

Round 1

5 sets (all lifts performed at the flag, run to the park for the others)

Deadlifts (125#) – 10 reps

Irkins at the playground benches – 15 reps

Chin-ups – 7 reps

5 sets

Deadlifts (165# or 245#) – 5 reps

Diamond Merkins – 10 reps

Pull-ups – 5 reps

Round 2a (all squats performed w/ 35-40# Kettlebell)

Goblet Squats 20 reps

Sumo Squats 20 reps

Wide Stance Squats 15 reps (It was heard that these really hit the inner thigh)

TRX style jump squats – 12 reps

Round 3 (ab work at the picnic tables)

Elbows to knees crunch with legs up on the benches – 15 reps

Crossover (elbows to opposite knee) crunches with legs up on the benches – 10 reps each side

Exaggerated leg lifts (legs over end of the table for full(er) ROM) 10 reps

Round 2b

Goblet Squats 20 reps

Sumo Squats 20 reps

Wide Stance Squats 15 reps (inner thighs were on fire at this point)

TRX style jump squats – 12 reps

 

Time was up just as the last reps were being performed. It was a great effort by all pax. The great thing about  BL Beatdown is that the sets and intermittent recovery times allow for some great conversation but maximum effort is still required while performing the exercises. For those pax that would like to attend, don’t let the barbells intimidate, there’s always a lower weight option offered for those that need to perfect form or modify due to limitations. Also, be on the lookout for some exciting modifications to the BoydLeeBeatdown format coming soon.

Prayer request – Our Schools and our children, Spinal Tap’s M traveling, Health needs for a family friend of Bambino (or possibly Abu, my memory is a little fuzzy).

It was a great time of pumping iron and becoming stronger men. The Pax migrated to Bagelman after the post where the food and fellowship are always great. T-Claps to Bambino for committing himself to showing up although he overslept. It was good to have him join for the closing rounds and for the mumblechatter. T-Claps to our two strongest Respect Pax for reminding us that “old man strength” is a real thing. These two men are beasts! Great to also have Abu back out at the beatdown, his intensity and conversation are always an asset to any post.
