Steep Hills & Bigger Blocks at The Sword


Titan, Amen and Peart Plus were running an on-site standard when YHC pulled up.  YHC pulled out 4 big blocks and staged a phone and speaker for later.  We’d need more blocks than that after all, and that’s awesome.

0530 and a quick disclaimer then off we go.  Cobains to the pax who ran the MB (1/2) Marathon on Saturday, cuz there’s about to be some fast, hilly running comin’ up…

Into Torance we go, stopping at a couple corners for SSHs, ISTs.  Then stop in front of Happy Gilmore’s casa-de-fartsack.  Next exercise is The Rocketts.  It was a beautifully choreographed stretch for what was coming up.  Mosey to the bottom of the hill (near Purell’s house).  Next exercise is sprint to the end of the street – and that’s quite a distance… up hill! Walk back down to PPP (Pimp’s Pride Point) then slow mosey to the bottom again.  Next we’ll stick together (somewhat) and take the other side of the island – an even longer hill – to the top and around back to PPP.  Lunge walk a ways toward the AO while we wait the 6, then slow mosey on back and up (another hill) to the blocks.

Get 6 more blocks – all BIGGUNs.  Partner up.  Partner 1 Big Block Press til fail while Partner 2 does Christian McCalf-raises.  Flapjack.  Repeato.

Big Block Curls x 10 IC

Big Block Skull Crushers x 10 IC

Big Block Lawn Mowers each arm x5 IC.  Repeato (I think we repeato’ed?)

Shoulder Press while putting the big blocks away.

Mosey down to the vehicles and to the big, thick, long, black… rope.  MWAR (Mary With A Rope)

Fast and Heavy Moleskine:

YHC wanted to get a little runnin’ in before some blockwork.  Didn’t realize we’d have some 1/2ers with us – Cobains Ultraman and Die Hard but well done Saturday!

YHC was sore from yardwork over the weekend and go figure – still sore after that workout…  But at least the pax got to see the freshly spread pine needles.  Baller couldn’t believe YHC and the 2.1 did it ourselves.  That ain’t fun and ain’t great for the allergies.

St Patrick’s Day is now just one week from this Friday, so of course we had the Irish Pub Rock a rockin’ today.

At least 3 QvQs tomorrow so be sure to check one out!  They’re at Gladiator, FKT and Paininsula.  Good luck to the Qs!
