The Thang

“Just five more” (YHC stole this one from Mulligan):

After YHC completes the first cadence call,  of five, the cadence count will increase by a count of five more when any Pax in the circle says “just five more”. Continue until no further reps are called:

-Curls

-Overhead press

-Skull crusher

-Squats

-Elevated block holds

-Pickle Pounders

-Plank jacks w/ blocks

-Lbc w/block

YHC lost count of how many reps/rounds were done as the dark side prevailed.

Mosey to the wall:

-People’s chair

-The Force hand extensions

-Seal claps

-Land the plane

-B2W 10 count by Q

-B2W 10 count for each pax down the line until all are done


Mosey to playground

Partner-up

Partner 1 does WWIIs while Partner 2 does pull-ups. AMRAP until partner relieves the other (each partner does two rounds)

Mosey back to blocks:

-Glute bridge holds w/block x5 (10 count)

-Lawn mower x15 each arm (60)


Zamperini blocks back to base:

-Slow Peter Parker

-Mobility moment


Recover, Recover

Moleskin:

The Force (not to be confused with the Champ) was strong today as John Williams score music played in honor of May the 4th. We wove in some Star Wars homage during the workout. The bb won’t reflect those though as it should have a PG rating. Toxic, Rodeo, Camelback, Mulligan, Swiftie, Turnpike, Tantrum, and Rocket all crushed it today. Thanks to Camelback for lending YHC the keys to the AO. Being among F3 brothers in the gloom is a great way to start the day. May the 4th be with you!

  • End with a Circle of Trust
