creative.<\/p>\n<p>I had also seen a video in recent months of Adrian Peterson crawl bearing up stadium steps.\u00a0 And I recalled the steps near the waterfall and stage.\u00a0 This sounded hard so put that first.\u00a0 It went like this:<\/p>\n<p>Warmorama<\/p>\n<p>SSHs, ISTs, mountain climbers, copperhead squats, Peter Parkers, Jack Reachers (surprisingly hard after Peter Parkers), and Running with Scissors.<\/p>\n<p>Over to set of 15 steps.\u00a0 Take turns crawl bearing to top.\u00a0 Then bear crawl next set.\u00a0 Mosey to 4th St under bridge and moving explanation of the never-before-attempted 4-man grinder.<\/p>\n<p>Stop 1 &#8220;B&#8221; under bridge do 10 burpees and 10 big boy sit ups and alternate until relieved.<\/p>\n<p>Stop 2 &#8220;N&#8221; north of bridge do 20 Nolan Ryans (10 each arm) and 20 Nordic Tracks (looks a lot like Running with Scissors but I needed an N exercise for memory).\u00a0 Alternate until relieved.<\/p>\n<p>Stop 3 &#8220;S&#8221; south of bridge do 30 squats and 30 SSHs and alternate until relieved.<\/p>\n<p>The S stop folks run to the B stop who run to the N stop and so on, a circular grinder.\u00a0 We got in two full rounds at each stop.<\/p>\n<p>Mosey north along trail to 5th street for a fifth of VODKA<\/p>\n<p>V &#8212;
