A beautiful and warm morning brought 13 men together at New Bern High School for a lesson in sharing. The theme of today’s workout was teamwork; partnership; unity. Each exercise performed was shared among the team until completed. Did it make it easier? Absolutely not. But it did bond us all a little closer and challenge us all to finish the task at hand.

Corner 2 – Reach and Touch Planks x 50
Corner 3 – Squat Jump with a Clap x 25
Corner 4 – Partner Get Ups x 15
Back to corner 1 (in the grass) – Over-Unders Bridge x 10
The group slow jogged to the Wall of Pain and immediately noticed the Pullup/Dip Bar strategically placed in the middle. Continuing the sharing theme – the next rounds included:
100 Pull-Ups (each team member completed to failure while remaining PAX hold Wall Squat) – actually completed a total of 115
200 Dips (each team member completed to failure while remaining PAX hold Wall Squat) – actually completed 230.
Finished by partnering back up for:
100 Box Jumps (alternating while partner completes LBC’s)
