THANG – “GET A GRIP”:
Partner up in two’s for stations. Pay attention to your form as well as your partner’s. PERFORMED FOR TWO PLUS SETS SO ALL PAX FEEL THE BURN IN BOTH WRISTS.

Timer Station – Plumber’s Carry: 2 HIMs walk the circle around playground one behind the other with a downward one hand grip on 3” slosh pipe (~40 lbs?). This station acts as timer for stations below. Once Plumber work is done, rotate to next station below with the last group (the Sand Fleas) taking over pipe work and the Plumbers moving to the first static station below and so on yada yada yada.
Static Stations:
- Merkins
- Squats
- Endorphins
- Burpee to pull ups
- Coupon Merkins (The Night Light Special)
- Dumbbell burpee dead lifts
- Beach burpees (in the
kids’ sand boxtonka truck tetanus farm area). This is the last station, rotates to beginning (plumber carry).
The purpose of the Thang was twofold:1) Put those wrists through the wringer and work on grip strength (something I’ve noticed as personally lacking lately).2) Illustrate that it is easy to cheat/take shortcuts when no one is looking. While watching partner form on static stations is easy, the plumber at the back of the pipe at the timer station was unseen by his partner up front so could have just modified/made it easier. Life’s like that, full of shortcuts. But HIMs do it RIGHT! And that’s how character is built.
We made it through two plus rounds so great work men! Proud to call y’all friends.
