it was a dark dreary morning as Hurricane Michael began its torrential downpour on the AO, surprisingly no one came for the 0500 BBall standard…..
quick mosey in the rain from one covered awning to the main school enytrance.nice little warm up/stretch including:
SSH, CP, ISS,TS,lunge strech, pigeon, then the planks,,,, all of the planks, seriously like 5 freakin minutes worth with variations including rear leg lifts.burning shoulders, BURNING
then we got INVERTED – 3 rounds of handstand/balls to walls holds for 30 sec… the Q only made 16 secs last round and fell… Titan and Mr. Holland both tried a true handstand kick up, pretty sure they hated it.
after years of F3 workouts Jersey boy drew his first BLOOD coming down off the wall after shaming the rest of the Pax by doubling all of our times!! Way to bleed Jersey!
next we did a plank ladder on to an elevated bench (seriously what is this exercise called)
due to complete shoulder fatigue we took a quick break for some needle strech and archer stretch in saddle position.
The next exercise is SQUATS, the workout, "Death by Squats" IC every minute increse the rep count by 1IC, rest the remainder time until the next minute starts. we made 15minutes. the first 2-4 rounds the PAX chatter was lively, Jersey even decided that the workout was too boring and filled the rest yime with Merkins…..Jersey…..by round 7 the PAx chatter shifted, by 11 it was sparse, by 13 we just wanted to be over ( oh and TRactor fell on his ass). 15 hit and the group pretty much collapsed en masse.
Then Just to reinforce the fact that none of us actually wanted to be able to walk tomorrow we jumped straight into a "sally" finisher. At this point the Q is seriously questioning the sanity of that decision!
quick burst of 30 low flutters, 20 LBC, name -o – rama and aheartfelt prayer for any and all effected by this years storms, and not a single PAx could actually jog back to their cars. The Q politely requested assistance getting into the truck he idiotically lifted by 8".
Thank you Titan, Stapler, Tractor, JErsey Boy, and Mr. Holland for having faith that a hard workout can be done while staying dry (minus the sweat) during a Tropical Storm!
