Rifle carried our coupons around the full perimeter of the AO (ex Dan Taylor Alley) stopping at every light post (not sure how many there were but it was a lot) for 10 coupon curls or 10 dips using the coupon (alternating). We also stopped at each corner to set our coupons down and do a round of BOMBS (Burpees x5, Overhead Press x10, Merkins x10, BBSUs x10, Squats x10).Shout out to the PAX as I contemplated backing off on the routine as it was brutal but ultimately I did not adjust and they crushed it.We had a little time left so we went to Hoffa for a burn out round of 11s (Star Jumps at base and Derkins at mid point)Moleskine:
Like this workout life can be hard but a lot can be accomplished through effort alone and you can control that.COT:
