Pain train is a progressive ladder series of exercises where you complete a set of the first exercise then run to a cone and do a second set of a different exercise, then go back and do the first exercise. Only catch is that you have to do the exercises every time you pass that cone (forward and back). All steps of the ladder up and all steps back advancing one rung each time. The exercises were as follows:
Cone 1: Burpees x5
Cone 2: Merkins x10
Cone 3: Squats x 15
Cone 4: LBCs x 20

Devo: “Don’t say you can’t do it, say you can’t do it yet.” Annabelle Tripp (Stick’em’s 2.0) Words of wisdom from when Stick’em’s daughter was on my soccer team a few seasons ago. Definitely has been a guiding principle of mine over this past year and moving forward.
Moleskin: Thanks for all for coming out to my pre-birthday Q. Hell Greenbags got so excited about it he missed his own Q at Faultline. I cut the part of the COP where we stand around and do easy exercises to “warm up.” This may become a more regular occurrence for YHC. It feels sometimes like we are just delaying getting to work and is far from a Circle of Pain. In the future I will likely skip this or do more “painful” like burpees, merkins, mountain climbers, etc. Thanks to the PAX for coming out and grinding with me and,though as the AO Q with a responsibility of growing the AO,8 men is the sweet spot in my opinion!
