Strength and Altar Boy Runs


YHC has a slightly pulled back and had to plan a low impact but still progressing towards the Huntersville Half bootcamp. Carpetbagger informed me that he had procured a mass quantity of 25 lbs weights…so here is what we concocted:

Warm O'Rama

  • SSH X15 IC
  • Hip Step Out X10 IC
  • Lunge X12 IC
  • Squat X20 IC
  • Plyo Curls X20 IC
  • Merican X10 IC (Its nice to be freed from counting to 12 for that loser Tom Brady)
  • Pick up the 25 lb weights – walking lunge to the speaker which was set up near the pull up bar – do an overhead press every 4th lunge – at 28 lunges, walk it out to the music. 
  • Stand on one leg with weight in hand and hold for 30 seconds, switch sides…same
  • Weights down, and Altar boy runs around the parking lot (Run to the church, jog parallel to the church and then run away from the church)

Nekked Man Moleskin

  • Crocs has to run later 😉
  • Honeysuckle Blue had an efficient and quiet performance as always
  • Amen proved to be one of the more reliable counters in F3 and a great disposition
  • Rooney said he liked the tunes (Mix of bands that I have been playing for my 12 year old to train him on classic rock) so he immediately climbed the leader board as one of my favorites
  • Pinkman and the Force crushed the workout and noticed the work that the ankles had to do in the iso move
  • Carpetbagger went all in on the weights with a 35 lber.  Awesome work. 
  • The joy in seeing Jedi at one of mu Qs was offset by the hurt caused by Jedi's shoulder ailing him
  • Pavarotti is like clockwork – hits the front of the parking lot at 6:29 and works his tail off for the workout
  • YHC was on the struggle bus but the Q juice got me through it. Cheers.
