19 men + Hurley the Dog got after it on a damp Friday morning. Temps were in the high 50's and there was no rain during the workout – so given what we've had recently, this wasn't bad weather. Night Light made it out for his third workout – and FNG – Joaquin was here for his 2nd post (more on that later).
Jersey Boy was alone for a while and thought maybe he was at the wrong place – but just like always, the headlights started pouring into the park as launch time approached.
At 5:30 we gathered for the pledge – and we were off.
Mosey around the parking lot with some carioca sprinkled in before we circled up.
Warm-o-rama – all your favorites: SSH, Windmills, IST, Mountain Climbers, Toy Soldiers
THE THANG:
Short mosey to the top of the parking lot – spread out
Hill/Mericans – run to the bottom of the parking lot 20 mericans, run to the top 16 mericans, repeat with 12, 8 and 4 – Plank
Hill/Squats – similar to Hill Mericans (see above)
Find a partner: Parter 1 performs 25 bent leg sit-ups, Partner 2 planks while holding Partner 1's feet (don't make eye contact) Flip/Flop
Mosey to the Wall – Peoples Chair with Air Press
20 Curb Dips, Lunge Walk across lot to a Parking Stall, 15 Jump Squats – a lot of mumblechatter – mainly from Hat Trick about the term stall vs. space. WHATEVS Lunge walk back to Wall
Repeato – Peoples Chair with Air Press, Dips, Lunge, Jump Squats
Form two lines – Indian Run back to the flag
Reunite with your partner – Repeato 25 sit-ups, Flip/Flop
Bear crawl to base of entrance/exit road
Partner 1 Runs up and around the park sign and back – Partner 2 does AMRAP exercise
Elbow Plank Jacks (each partner does twice)
Squats (each partner does twice)
LBCs (running out of time – each partner did once)
Back to the flag for MARY:
Almost out of time – did one exercise – the one armed Plank Jack. It takes a little bit of coordination – basically while doing a plank jack extend one arm – alternate arms in cadence.
Recover/Recover
Dreary Day Moleskine:
– The General is a great AO – so many options. Was planning to run to Robbins Park because it seems like forever since I posted at The General and a Q took us there. With all the rain – decided to stay on the pavement.
– Welcome Johnny Cash (Joaquin) – Joaquin Phoenix played Johnny Cash, Joaquin is a CFO = Cash
– Night Light posted at The General Last week – and then went to The Murph for post #2. Was surprised not AO's have coffee post-workout. The General has its benefits.
– Good group of guys this morning. Many stayed for coffee.
– Always an honor and a pleasure to be among you fine men. You make me want to be better – you are helping me get there.
Peace,
Holiday
