When One Pax Forgot his Vagasil, You Modify

Event Date

Oct 22, 2022


If we're being completely honest we're all a little fragile. That's why we all complain when we see Cherry Bomb or Mr Holland queueing, knowing the workout is tailored  for 20 something's with lots of time to workout.  But ultimately, we suck it up, put some vagasil on our sore knees and do the workout.

But every once in a while, we get a PAX who will remain nameless (but was named for a 2000s boy band and is 5'2") that shows up late for his Q, complains about how hard it was to coach 5 year girls soccer the night before, and forgot his vagasil to help his ailing knees recover.  Today was on of those days.  So we modified the Q and workout to accommodate.

Warmup

  • Lap around the parking lot
  • 40x SSH
  • 15x Toy Soldier
  • 15x Imperial storm trooper
  • 10x Long snapper
  • 10x slow windmill
  • 15x Mountain climber
  • 10x merkins

Round One: Field Work

we lined up on one end line.

  • 10x curls
  • Zamporini to the 18
  • 10x OHPs
  • zamporini to midfield
  • 10x skull crushers 
  • zamporini to the opposite 18
  • 10x lawn mowers right arm
  • zamporini to the end line
  • 10x law movers left arm

then we moseyed to the opposite end without our blocks

  • run to the 18
  • 10x BBC extensions 
  • run to midfield 
  • 10x box cutters
  • Run to opposite 18
  • 10x Freddy Mercuries
  • Run to end line
  • 10x weighted flute bridges 

and we repeated the entire process for another round.

Round Two: Track Work

Since our one pax didn't want to run, four of us did a workout while he carried his block back and forth.

we did 6 alternating 100s

  • Pax One: 75% sprint 
  • Pax Two: farmer carry 100
  • switch

Round Three: Playground Tomfoolery

  • 5 pulll ups
  • 10 chest pull ups
  • Clime the ladder, pull through the tunnel, slide down the slide 
  • lap around the playground

there was skepticism to say the least, but after the third round, people were gassed.  We'll use that again.

The  we moseyed back to the AO, prayed it out, and Elmer's went for bagels.

good workout by all, even our complainer from West Virginia.
