Lunges, Lunges, Lunges

YHC’s WO goal is to create muscle soreness; break ’em down, build ’em back; no pain, no gain, etc. but that’s been a difficult goal given a 45-60 minute workout.  Today was an experiment to see if doing the same thing for 45 minutes could cause mild soreness tomorrow.  I think it will.

Warm-Up

• Arm Circles For THE Hard Hat
• Plank stretching
• 10 Hand release merkins

Thang

Lunge to point A (100 yards away)

We threw in some box cutters and the guys running away from the PAX were rewarded with 30 squats for the last 3-4 rounds (maybe 210 squats).  I can only estimate the numbers,

• 800 meters of lunges,
• 130 hand release merkins and
• 90 box cutters.

The point was to lunge as far as possible, limiting the rest period just enough to make it back to the other side.  YHC cannot remember a time his legs have ever feeling so fatigued.  Maybe after stepping out of a squat rack 100 years ago.
