Beatdown:
This beatdown is the Saturday before the Red Ryder Cup and is dedicated to one of our fallen brothers and veterans, Gaven “Red Ryder” Smith.
The number 22, at one time, represented the estimated number of veteran suicides per day in the United States. While this number has been challenged and debunked like most things in our world today, the significance of the number still is staggering and represents veteran suicide awareness.
Motivators – 10 to 1
Red Ryder WOD for 22 minutes with “Start Over” by Flame on repeat.
22 reps of each:
Merkins
Squats
Big Boy Sit Ups
Burpees
Plank Jack Shoulder Taps(2 is 1)
Lt. Dans
LBC’s
Absolutions
Sprint around the field on the sidewalk
Repeato
At the end of 22 minutes, Bourbon gathered the PAX and spoke about Red Ryder and mental health.
Finish the rest of the beatdown repeating Red Ryder WOD with the same song where Bourbon asked the PAX to really listen to the words and let them sink in as they are putting in the work.
