A foggy November morning brought 13 PAX out of the fartsack and into the gloom for a humid Saturday BD. This beatdown held a greater purpose, we set out for the Chad1000X Challenge (with some slight modifications) in honor/remembrance of soldiers who have committed suicide. After a quick disclaimer we got started
Warm Up:
- 10 SSH (IC)
- 10 Windmill (IC)
- 15 Imperial Walkers (IC); after mistakenly starting with HillBillies
- 20 Dying Cockroach (IC)
The Thang: A Modified Chad1000X
YHC thought in honor of suicide prevention; the PAX would be best to partner up; 1) to show we’re all going through this together and 2) You have someone here to count on or have your back; you’re not alone in this challenge
- Chad1000x w/ an elevator Dora
- One partner does 50 step ups (EW) while other partner does designated exercise of the Dora- Total step ups per PAX 500 (each pair equaling 1000)
- Merkins- 100
- LCBs- 200
- Shoulder Taps (EW)- 300
- Irkins- 200
- Freddy Mercurys (HW)- 100
- One partner does 50 step ups (EW) while other partner does designated exercise of the Dora- Total step ups per PAX 500 (each pair equaling 1000)
