  • AO -

24 men, including 3 FNGs, were able to resist the strong urge to fartsack and make it out into the muggy gloom. Some PAX thought they were going to see Tabata, some thought the Get Movin’ Monday beatdown from the previous day at The Burbs might get rinsed and repeated. No sir, let’s get a little more running in than that. And where better to run back and forth than on a suspension bridge looking at and listening to the beautiful Falls? It’s Liberty 500 time!

Warm Up

SSH x30

Q: Do we have even’s? Count off 1s-2s. Ends with 1. Man, we don’t. Oh well, doesn’t really matter, let’s mosey!

PAX: Wait, what? That’s the warm up? :::mumblechatter & laughter:::

YHC, smiles to himself, knowing what was in store. Plus, not sure how long this was going to take. So, let’s get to work!

Mosey down Main and into the entrance of Falls Park. It’s time for a long overdue Liberty 500! Such a simple and effective beatdown. Thanks Hootie, this one is for you!

Main Thang

Liberty 500 – partner up, size does not matter. Hey! Here comes Dollywood so we do have even partners.

EACH partner does 100 reps. of all 5 exercises. One partner exercises while the other partner runs the Liberty Bridge, around the round-a-bout, and back. Flap Jack.

5 Exercises x100:
-Werkins
-Jump Squats (modify to Squats if needed)
-Freddy Mercury (double count)
-Jump Lunges (modify to Lunges if needed) #ouch #crowdpleaser
-Mnt. Climbers (double count)

As everyone finish’s up, it appears Urkel is still doing Lunges.

Q: Urkel, you still on Lunges?

Urkel: Yup (as he finishes the last few)

Okay Fellas! Let’s support Urkel and knock out these Mnt. Climbers with him! #nomanleftbehind

Single count, on Urkel, who is around rep. 30 at this point, and Urkel, being the trooper he is, led us the rest of the way, in double count fashion!

Great work Urkel, and the rest of the PAX for the support. #proverbs27:17 #ironsharpensiron

  1. Thanks Punkin Spice. Really nice being back in Greenville, the pleasure this morning was all mine. Swamp Rabbit workouts appear to be just as challenging as CLT thus far. Liberty 500 was no joke. The NoCo (Charlotte North) pax call it a “ranch workout”, cause as you are going up the stairs at night time you wish you lived in a ranch house. Definite ranch workout today with all those squats and lunges.
