The Silo 9.30.19 BackBlast: Beast Mode ON

The Wall at North Posh

Let’s face it, the natural tendency of essentially of most (if not all) living things is to take the path of least resistance, the easier way. I love about North Posh because the Site doesn’t give you this option. The terrain essentially forces you into a WO that is more difficult than usual. What made the WO I designed for the morning wasn’t the exercises or number of reps…it was that in between you had to run up & down a hill that’s at roughly a 45-degree angle & 60-70 yards long. There is no path of least resistance here…you look at this hill & you know upfront this path is going to be hard.

Coming off the IronPAXChallenge I’m reinvigorated with this concept which I know isn’t going to be for everyone, but I wanted it to be known by my PB what was in store.

Here’s what we did:

PAX

  1. Huggies
  2. Le Pew
  3. Cochran
  4. Nino (QIC)

I gave this disclaimer, we grabbed some coupons out of Huggies’ trunk (this was much closer than going to get the ones stored at North Posh), & we were off on mosey over to the top of The Wall for COP.

CoP

  • (21) SSH IC
  • (10) Abe Vigoda’s IC
  • (10) GG IC

The Thang

I explained to the PAX this WO was 100% meant to be “You vs You” for 30 minutes encouraging them to push themselves & went through The Thang (exercises, number of reps, etc.). With that we got to work:

Round 1

  • Top of the hill
    • (20) Coupon Curls to Shoulder Press
  • Run to the bottom
  • Bottom of the hill
    • (20) Groiners into Squat Jumps
  • Run back up to the top of the hill

Round 2

  • Top of the hill
    • (20) Traveling Merkins over the Coupon
  • Run to the bottom
  • Bottom of the hill
    • (20) Reverse Lunges into a High Knee
  • Run back up to the top of the hill

Alternate back & forth between Round 1 & Round 2. After completing 5 Rounds (e.g. down & back up the hill 5 times) increase the number of reps of all exercises by +5. If anyone got through 10 Rounds this was to be done again.

The Wall absolutely takes it out of you & after 30 minutes it was time to get back to the Flag. The PAX helped me grab my lights, their coupons, & we got back to the Flag at 0614 where we circled up for CoT.

CoT

  • COR
  • NOR
  • Announcements
    • F3Louisville Harvest Hoedown on Saturday 10.19.19 at Le Pew’s farm
  • Intentions

I took it to the SkyQ thanking him & asking for the strength/courage to be the men needed in our homes, work, & community now more than ever. I’m truly grateful to be apart of this group & I don’t think it’ll ever stop being a privilege to lead the men in it in whatever capacity.

Nino out.
