A therapeutic recovery workout for our post Spartan (or injured) Pax. Three sets of four exercises with reps of 10, 15, 20. Exercises included Curls, WWIII Sit ups, Leg raises, Single leg squats, Muricans, Freddie Mercury's, Wall Sits (60, 90, 120 count), Leg extensions, and American Hammers.
The blood moon set the stage for the greatest AO the world has ever seen. Surrounded by GODs glory the might Maumee on one side and the heavenly city of Perrysburg on the other, HIMs from across the swamp eagerly awaited the 0530 call to circle up.
The beat down is one that will be felt in the hearts and various body parts from the HIMs that join in this glorious morning.

Workout: BURPwEEk Day 8 – The Chain Revisited
FNG’s: N/A
Mission and Principles:
F3: Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
Mission: To plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
The core principles of F3 are that it is always:
1. Free of charge
2. Open to all men
3. Held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
4. Led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary. You versus you. Modify or stop an exercise if you need to. The most important thing is that nobody gets hurt.
5. Ends with a Circle of Trust
Warm-up: In cadence
Windmills – 10
Chainbreakers – 10
Arm Circles
The “Thang”:
Inspired by a playlist that chained song titles together, this beatdown worked in a similar fashion. Every round, an additional movement was added to the single exercise chain. The formula was simple, but the Chain tightened its stranglehold as the beatdown went on.
Run the stairs. Complete 11 reps of the single exercise chain. Repeato, adding a new link to the chain every round. Follow the last round with a final stair climb. Links in the chain below:
Rd. 1 – Squat
Rd. 2 – Add groiner @ the bottom
Rd. 3 – Add jump @ the top
Rd. 4 – Add merkin @ the bottom
Rd. 5 – Add 2nd merkin @ the bottom
Rd. 6 – Add 3rd merkin @ the bottom
Rd. 7 – Add 1 mountain climber between each of the merkins
Rd. 8 – Add bear squat after 3rd merkin
Rd. 9 – Add makhtar n’diaye after bear squat
Rd. 10 – Add plank jack between makhtar n’diaye
Rd. 11 – Turn top jump to box jump
During the 11th round, PAX were basically combining a 10-ct body builder burpee, a bear squat, an absolution, and a box jump all into a single exercise. It was awesome.

Spreadsheets from the Gloom: The weather was better than the -5F windchill temps the first time this was run, but the beatdown was just as tough. Actually, this Pump Station variant was easier than The Wall version because the Pump Station steps are fewer and closer together. But it still worked well. Stark, Fat Amy, and Shepherd were all able to finish, proving the length and difficulty is right where it needs to be. Only thing that I would consider changing would be to either move the bear squat to a different location in the chain or replace it completely. It does not flow well when it is the last movement before coming back up into the squat position. But it does feel smooth when it is sandwiched by two other exercises.
As mentioned, the playlist for this one came first and ultimately inspired the workout. Coming up with any other playlist that’s actually good has proven to be nearly impossible. Perhaps I’ll give it one more try the next run-through.

This was not intended to be the BURPwEEk finale, but bad Thursday weather pushed it to the end of the week. That said, it was still a great ending to a great week. BURPwEEk was even more successful this time than itits inaugural debut, and it seems as though the workouts may be rubbing off on the PAX. Numbers stayed high and several comments were made that suggested that people’s views on burpees might be changing for the better.
BURPwEEk will be back next year, and it will be better than ever. Let’s see if we can surpass the 1475 burpees from year 2.
