Wait, this isn’t a running workout?

Event Date

May 19, 2018


Even with the full on Twitter PB disclaimer that the workout was destined to be complete dumpster fire, 7 PAX showed up anyway.  Note that Calypso missed the memo that Excelsior was converging, ran 5 miles, and then doubled down with The Estate.  

YHC has not Q'ed a workout in more than 3 years and was seriously doubting the decision to fall to Turn Pike's peer pressure and Q The Estate.  However, after some hunting through the backblasts to remember a few excersizes, a weinke came together.  

Here's how it went down:

Warm-o-rama:

SSH x 15, Windmill x 15, Toy Solder x 10, Merkins x 20, Low Slow Squat x 15

The Classics:

3 groups, 3 sets of 10, Merkins, WWII Situps (thanks for the form correction Snake Eyes), and Pullups

Some work by the dumpster:

2 groups, 2 sets, Group 1: jump up on loading dock and bear crawl down ramp, Group 2: People's Chair

Same 2 groups, 2 sets, Group 1: jump up on loading dock and lunge walk down ramp, Group 2: Balls to the Wall

To the track for 7's:

1st set, up/downs at top, squats at the bottom

2nd set, burpees at top, backward lunge at the bottom

Work with Rocks:

Curls, scull crushers, front lifts, shoulder presses, bench presses, etc.

Track Work (it wouldn't have been right without some track work):

Group 1: Plank o rama, Group 2: 400 m, Flapjack

10 min of Mary:

Pass the buck style, many great selections (O2 deprived at that point, can't remember)

Moleskine:

Great work out there by everyone.  The humidity was crushing.  Way to push through.  

Thanks for your patience while YHC remembered the ropes.  It was an awesome time!
