Horse Head

Horse Head

Twenty men did the work of 50 lesser men.  And that doesn’t even count the seven Pax that posted for Red Coats, Rednecks and Rucks, or the four old men that power walked around the track.

Mosey to track for a lap, then to midfield for the standard warmup fare:  SSH, low squats, merkins, mountain climbers, I-Walkers.

Mosey to near endzone and pair up.

  • Pax 1 touch the Horse Head at the top of the stairs.
  • Pax 2 perform called exercise
  • Flapjack until team completes 100 reps of Heels to Heaven

Mosey to 50 yard line

  • Pax 1 touch the Horse Head at the top of the stairs.
  • Pax 2 perform called exercise
  • Flapjack until team completes 125 reps of hand release merkins.

Mosey to far end zone

  • Pax 1 touch the Horse Head at the top of the stairs.
  • Pax 2 perform burpees
  • Flapjack until each pax completes 2 trips to the Horse Head

Mosey to 50 yard line

  • Pax 1 touch the Horse Head at the top of the stairs.
  • Pax 2 perform called exercise
  • Flapjack until team completes 80 reps of Low Hold Squats, in cadence (hold at bottom of squat for 3 count)

Mosey to near endzone

  • Pax 1 touch the Horse Head at the top of the stairs.
  • Pax 2 perform called exercise
  • Flapjack until team completes 200 flutter kicks

Mosey to midfeld for Mary:

  • Dolly x10
  • 1 legged Dolly x 10
  • Other legged Dolly x 10
  • Stop motion Dolly x 10 (move in or out on Q’s call)
  • Flutter x 10
  • 1 legged flutter x 10
  • Other legged flutter x 10
  • Stop motion flutter x 10

Mosey back to start for COT.

  •  I am a big fan of the Partner / Team Total exercises mostly for the accountability effect:  I can’t slack on the run because my teammate is back there doing burpees.  Nor can I slack on burpees because I wouldn’t be pulling my load.  It’s a near-perfect antidote to fatigue-induced tendencies to buy flannel footy jammies and sip cocoa from an oversized mug.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
  • All were pleased to learn, none more than Horse Head himself, that we were to touch the Horse Head bust, not Horse Head’s bust.  Can’t remember how he got his name (even though he told me last week), but I feel for his M, who wakes up daily to a Horse Head in the bed.
  • Strong work by the Pax on a grind of a workout.  Good to see the Metro and 51 guys mix it up.  And thanks to DD’s for the leadership at the site.

Thanks for coaxing me back out of my truck when I heard that we were going to play “touch the Horse Head” and I tried to quickly leave.

I’ve been following you on Twitter for some time now, and am glad to finally meet you, Tiger Rag. Great workout today…I’m also a big fan of the partner run/exercise combo as it combines both the 1st and 2ndFs and promotes accountability. I learned a few new tricks that I’ll be unleashing on some unsuspecting Metro pax soon. I enjoyed meeting a few of the South Charlotte Pax and look forward to trying some of the other South Charlotte workouts in 2014. Please tag Charlotte-Metro on future Charge backblasts as this is a great AO and it’s good for us Metro guys to mix it up a bit. I’ll be back soon!

TR, thanks for the clarification on the tagging…embedded twitter apps are above my pay grade! I was way behind on Twitter yesterday and later sawyour tweet was retweeted by @F3Metro. Thanks again and hope to SYITG soon.

Best Wednesday workout of the many to choose from. The fellas pushed it hard and a great lead by TR for a lung buster. Good hanging with the GRC (Go Ruck Cult) boys too. Heard a hard commit by Double D’s on the March challenge too.
