It has been a while since I brought some of my favorite implements of pax destruction:

The Thang:

I showed up in time to prerun, but spent the time setting up the stations for the BD.  

Tabata format, 60 seconds work, 30 seconds rest and get ready for the next station.  

The stations were as follows:  

  1. Battle ropes 
  2. LBCs 
  3. Tractor tire flips, alternate exercises include deadlifts (shoutout to DDoS for that idea from a prior BD, tire carry, or dercans 
  4. Annie mercans (this is per the exicon, but numerous pax believe these should be rebranded as Miyagi mercans, and they are correct.) 
  5. Australian snow angels 
  6. Ball slam...well medicine ball slam, but if it takes a bad bounce, well...
  7. Taint touches on the cinder block 
  8. Pole, options include:  Carry, squat, landmine row or press, overhead press (that one is tough) 
  9. wrist rollers 
  10. kettle bell roll up (hold the hockey stick and rotate your arms to raise the kettle bell, repeat forward and backward 

We started at different stations, once we completed all 10, took a big lap, alternating between a mosey and sprint at each light pole.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

I have never regretted posting for a BD at Firehouse.  

Just kidding, I have never regretted posting anywhere for a BD.
