* YHC sometimes doesn't have clever backblast titles. Sorry.
Here is what 11 Pax did today on a not too cold (2 layers + hat + pink gloves) day at The Sword.
0505: Solo standard for a bit then ran a bit with Amen and Etch in the parking lot.
0530: Make a big lap around the parking lot with some Quadraphilia, High Knees, and exaggerated long striders.
Circle up near the front of the parking lot, disclaimer given.
WARM-O-RAMA:
- Press Jacks x 15 IC
- "Boo-Boo-Bear Crawl" (I.E. one-legged) from one side to the other, 10 Mericans, repeato, 9 Mericans, etc., down to 1 (Some claimed this was to nix the mumble chatter, but it was planned my dudes)
The Thing:
- Lunge walk to the top of the parking lot
- Partner up: Wheel barrow walk a ways including over some blocks arranged in a very safe way
- Pullups x 5 OYO followed by knee-ups x 5 OYO
- Mosey to the rock pile. Grab a "medium" rock. Tabata time:
Tabata Stuff – 60 seconds on, 30 seconds rest:
- Overhead press
- Slow deep block squats
- Bent over rows
- Elbow plank
- Curls
- Repeato all
Mosey back to the top. Another round of wheel barrow walk through, then 5 Commando Style pullups.
It was already time for Mary. Where did the time go? That ^ all seems fairly light.
Mary:
- WWII situps with feet in block x 20 OYO
- Crunchy frog x 10 IC
- Low flutters x 25 IC
- Mosey to the cars, recover, recover.
According to Strava, we covered 1.10 miles in various ways.
Moleskin:
- We prayed for our friend Frogger as his wife Jessica begins the journey to kick caner's a**.
- Don Ho has the Q next week at The Sword. Guarantee it will not be as easy as today!
- If you tell Amen to lower his hips during an Elbow plank, he simply starts J-Lo-ing automatically.
- Speaking of Amen, his "Final 4" matchup in the Q vs. Q vs. Toxic will be Wednesday at The Mighty Oak. Good luck gents!
- We debated what Qs could and could not do and expect to win in Q vs. Q and landed on: Can do: Airborn mind-benders. Can't do: Burpees, Mericans, Boo-Boo Bear Crawl, Dragon Crawl, and generally anything difficult.
- TWSS jokes were abundant today. (Thanks Etch). Popcorn and Enron wondered if in FIA they say 'that's what he said' ?. Checked this with my M ("Dreaming Tree"): No.
- I encourage Pax to follow Goodlfe on Twitter. He has a Renaissance's man's range of interests. Goodlife's Tweets inspired YHC to quit all forms of caffeine so I appreciate you my dude.
- Crocs could not partake in the WWII situps because his feet did not fit into the blocks. Someone said, and I'll paraphrase: "That's the only time you don't…." you know what, never mind. YHC shouldn't recap every joke Toxic cracks because that will only encourage him.
- It was awesome seeing someone return the joke-y favor to Toxic on Friday. Nice work Rocket! You roasted him good and gave him the gift we've always wanted to give him.
- Ultraman putting in work despite the weekend Ville to Ville race. Looking forward to Myrtle with you and Rocket and others.
- Jedi – thanks for reaching out bro! Wanted to give them a taste of an old Ditka workout from Samson, circa 2015 or 2016. Would you believe almost half of the young-ins present today have never even been to a Ditka workout?
Nice work today gents.
