Not uncommon to the #Gladiator faithful is the beatdown known in the small circle as The Chariot Race, but before we get started we must visit #TheArena for warm-o-rama Gladiator style.
SSH x 50 In Cadence (IC)
Cotton Picker x 15 IC
Toy Soldier x 15 IC
Imperial Storm Trooper x 15 IC
Blast Off Merican x 10 IC
And now…to the chariots…
Partner up:
P1 – run to first median (~40 yds) and back
P2 – Squats
Flap Jack
Team Goal = 100 Single Counts
However, it never fails that more than likely because the PAX is still getting loose, no one can ever seem to get into a proper deep squat. Perhaps more directly, we are all a bunch of cheaters. So we must be instructed on a proper squat form.
P1 – run to first median
P2 – Deep Squats
Flap Jack
Team Goal = 75 SC
Now that we understand that we can get closer to the ground, let's dig a little deeper.
P1 – run
P2 – Squat Thrust
Flap Jack
Team Goal = 50 SC
But, wait…what's that you say? We can get even closer to the ground? Show me.
P1 – run
P2 – Squat Thrust w/ hand release Merican at the bottom
Team Goal = 25 SC
There is no way possible we can get closer to the ground, can we? NO, but we can get higher at our finish.
P1 – run
P2 – Burpee w/ knee slap at the top jump
Team Goal = 15 SC
One of the many benefits of moving #Gladiator is that we now have pull-up bars within a much closer mosey distance…let's see if we can get even higher.
P1 – run
P2 – pull ups or chin ups
Team Goal = 12
So we went up, let's bring it back down slow.
P1 – run
P2 – WW2 sit ups
Team Goal = 25
Next we need to get closer to our standing position again, so let's work on crunching.
P1 – run
P2 – LBC
Team Goal = 50
Now that we got down (btw all the while listening to hot beat provided by YHC) and up, let's get back down to some Mary:
Mountain Climbers x 25 IC
Let's finish with a Toxic and Travolta fav, "Bring Sally Up, Bring Sally Down" – Merican version only, one song.
And that concludes your Chariot Race play by play.
1. Strong showing by all today! Some new faces at #Gladiator so I hope you enjoyed, looking forward to seeing you again, and would love to see you take the lead!!
