It’s GEEKY in the People’s Republic

Event Date

Feb 16, 2017


Not listed in the PAX list is Point Break – really PB?  We expect better of you.  (But of course – if he isn't registered on the site – there's a good chance he is not reading this – so my rebuke is falling on deaf ears.)

The Geek put out a humdinger of a shoulder beatdown at Hollywood this week – and since he hasn't posted a backblast – I took a large portion of the workout so that it would be documented and not lost.  (Or maybe it was just easier to steal than create).

At 6:58 it felt like the Sweatshop of old – YHC and Grouch were alone on the green.  But by the time the chimes struck 7 we were a respectable 10 strong.

?All the usual suspects in cadence: SSH, Windmills, IST, Cotton Pickers, Toy Soldiers

We broke into two groups – each group would travel through 5 shoulder stations.  Each stop was for 2 minutes with AMRAP.

Station 1 – Mericans

Station 2 – Carolina Dry Docks

Station 3 – Bear Crawl

Station 4 – Dips

Station 5 – Inch Worms – walk out to a plank position and walk back in – rinse and repeat

It seemd like the PAX had a hard time concentrating for two whole minutes.  Distractions included, but were not limited to:

– The cub scouts in the parking lot doing the soda/Mentos experimnt – cool

– The Hangover talking to Bunyan

– Bunyan talking to The Hangover

– Shiny objects

To prevent distractions and to encourage focus in Round 2 – we switched to 90 seconds and also switched to legs

Station 1 – Squats

Station 2 – Lunge Walk

Station 3 – Broad Jumps

Station 4 – Alternating Step Ups

Station 5 – People's Chair

Head to the bottom of the hill for a ladder

At the Bottom 20 SSH OYO – at the Top 1 – 8 ct body builder

20 SSH – 2 – 8ct BB

20 SSH – 3 – 8ct BB

20 SSH – 4 – 8ct BB

20 SSH – 5 – 8ct BB

[And suddenly there was no longer any mumble chatter.]

Head to the wall for a diversion before we head for home

The Geek-skin

– Always a pleasure to be with this crew.  Half a dozen for 2nd F at Summit post workout.

– Thanks to The Geek for the inspiration – he's a beast and a great friend.

– Of all the guys I've met in F3 – The Hangover is one of them.  Today the Hangover kept us safe with his lighted, blinking arm band.  Running next to him increases safety – as cars can see and hear you coming.

– In COT we lifted up Dipstick from F3 Myrtle Beach.  He is currently in a medically induced coma after suffering a brain injury.  Pray for him, his family and for all those working to help him heal.  Hug your loved ones just a little bit tighter – life can change in an instant.

 

Humbly,
