Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Therefore, give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions, and determine to pay the price for a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths. Remain steadfast… and one day you will build something that endures, something worthy of your potential. -Epictetus

Two groups of two people:

Group 1:  will do 3 rounds of the following (~15 mins)
One person performs 4 x DB Man-Makers*
The other person will row 300 m and then do Ab-rollers, each rep performed before other person can complete the man-makers is worth 1 point
-compete to see who can get most points

  1. Fun times. Bluemel, Thorup and Schoene got busy!

    Row/man-maker combo was great, but need to either decrease row distance to ~200 m, or increase man-maker reps to 5, or row 500 m w/ other person doing ab rollers after 4 man-makers
