6 PAX stormed Arnies Army this morning and did some heavy work with cinder blocks, building a strong “foundation” to kick off 2023.
A brief disclaimer was given by YHC, followed by a brief warm-a-rama with SSH’s, Toy Soldier, Windmill, Donkey Kicks, Plank Jacks and some mobility work.
The workout went done something like this but not exactly like this 🙂
- Circle up with cinder blocks for block curls, bent over rows, and shoulder presses. PAX performed this basic circuit in a descending ladder starting with 12 and eventually ending with 4.
- In between the above circuit, PAX performed alternating laps around the parking lot, either a long lap around the lot and around the soccer field OR farmer’s carry’s with cinder block(s).
- Block Merkins were also thrown in to the above circuit.
- PAX also landed on the benches near the club house for some dips and incline merkins.
- PAX also landed around the pull-up bars for 3 rounds of alternating Air Squats and pull-ups.
- PAX finished with brief round of MARY with Soprano, Tammy Faye, and Dingo helping to lead the final exercises.
Notable
- Tammy Faye, Matlock and Dingo? ran the standard at 5am. Please sound off in comments if this needs adjustments?
- YHC always grateful to have 2.0 Phoenix along for the workout! Keep hammering Phoenix! Like you mentioned, it actually feels good to get up early and you never ever regret an early morning workout!
- Great having our mall walkers, Titan and Blackbeard drop in during the workout!
- Always enjoy having The Godfather of Pain, Soprano, along for a workout! YHC couldn’t resist throwing out some construction puns with Soprano in attendance. It is common knowledge that cinder blocks are the basic foundation for any construction project and the same can apply for building a solid fitness foundation. Ok so it wasn’t funny…
- Matlock is a beast as YHC noticed he also ran after the workout and was still running at like 7am through the Summit Birkdale parking lot?? Check that man’s Strava, wow!
- Half of the PAX (YHC, Phoenix, Dingo) in attendance were Elon Alum! Needed Auto there this AM to make it 4!
- Thank you Tammy Faye for the keys to Arnies Army this AM! This was YHC virgin Q there and it’s a fine AO with plenty of options for building strength and endurance for 2023!
Always a privilege and honor to lead in the gloom!
Humbly in Christ
