9 men posted to SVU to relive fun from the past. Anyone remember the last occurrence of the Spartan Stick 500? Me either. Maybe 2015-ish? Well, it came back today. FNG-1 is Holeshot.
Warm-up:
20 SSH
10 Mountain Climbers
Arm Circles
Everyone grab a stick. 8 available, so Cheetah improvises.
The Plan:
10 exercises incorporating a 48”x1” wooden stick @ 50 reps each
= 500 total reps
-
50 Squat Jump w/ stick held overhead
-
50 Merkins – alternating hand over/under stick
-
50 Stranded Turtles – stick over/under feet
-
50 Lunge Twist stick to side
-
50 Elbow Plank – feet hopping side to side over stick
-
50 Split Squat Jumps – stick to side
-
50 Pull-up off ground with stick as lever
-
50 Dippy Bird – move stick from side to side on one leg
-
50 V-ups – setting stick on ankles
-
50 Stick Burpees
Reflection: 1 Corinthians 15:58
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord”.

Almost called an audiable, as we were a stick short. Cheetah saves the day with a stick-ish limb from the woods.
-
Can’t find BB from last stick workout, but thinking it was 2015?
-
Holeshot was killing the burpees – serious effort
-
Looking back on old workouts, there’s some interesting ones coming back in the future
-
Everyone worked to their limits today, thanks for the effort
-
Hope everyone enjoyed the variety today
-
Thanks for the Q motivation to get me out in the gloom
