5 HIM showed for the kickoff of this year’s IPC. A couple of them weren’t aware of what it was. Ooof! Here goes nothing. This is what happened…

After YHC watched the video from F3 Greenwood, the instructions were pretty clear. The workout was in memory of one of the PAX’ dad who had passed in the last year. A former military serviceman and longtime trach & field coach at the University of Illinois, he took significant numbers and made it into a tribute workout. YHC picked up as many blocks from the Midoriyama  stockpile so everyone had a coupon. Here’s how it went.

Warmup – 13 reps of each exercise IC – SSH, Imperial Walkers, Shoulder Taps, Mountain Climbers & Plank Jacks

From there we were to run 800 meters and start on the real work

85 reps of each exercise with 8 burpees between each set.

  • Hand release merkins
  • Big Boys
  • Goblet Squats with coupon
  • Dips
  • Overhead Press of the coupon
  • Flutterkicks (4 count)
  • Kettlebell swings of the coupon

Run 800 meters again. Done.

It was rough. High reps will get you every time, especially back-to-back with burpees. Some stuck it out and finished the workout even after the normal time. Thats real rock pushing! Thanks to Defib’s friend for asking if we were going to do Week 0 today. Glad we did!

Announcements and Prayer Requests were minimal and done while work was still being done and I forgot what was mentioned. My bad men.
