Fat Camp Backblast 04.27.16

5 men showed up to #F3fatcamp on this lovely Wednesday morning to discover that Pandora had forgotten to fill her box. Also Note: JRR Tolkien was not present.

 

The Thang:

Start out with a lap around the school, followed by a quick warm up of 10 Merkins IC, and 5 diamond merkins IC. Now, we’re warm! Head over the the pull-up bars. 5 pull ups, rest, repeat. 5 negative pull-ups (1 count up, 3 counts to come down), repeat. Finish up with 5 regular pull-ups. Head to the swings. 5 X 4 in-and-outs with feet in the swing, 1 merkin (thats one). 10 Dips IC, 20 LBC, 10 Dips (up in 2, down for 4). That’s enough for this playground.

Stop by to pick up the sandbag, the lone coupon from “Pandora’s Box”, and head to the other playground. 4 PAX could get under the awkward-monkey-bar-half-octopus-thing and perform 3 sets of 25, no 15 rows (pull chest up to bar, extend back down) while the 5th did rows with the sandbag. Super set with 10 diamond merkins, 10 wide arm, 10 marine. Head over to the section with the benches for some people’s chair with a press, followed by 30 hip slappers, 20 heels to heaven and 15 derkins. That’s enough.

On the way down to the field, stop for lunge walk to the end of the sidewalk, then bear craw to the cross walk, then dragon walk to the gate. Continue to field.

At the field, we did a lot of mary. Leg raises, bent leg raises, flutter, dolly, haggis form plank for 2 minutes. Then the PAX went around the circle and called out a exercise: 6 inch plank with alternating leg raises (5 each leg, raise to regular plank, down. 4 each leg, up. Etc…), Arm tuck merkins (right arm reaches under left, back to plank, merkin. Left arm, repeat), .YHC takes back over with table-top crunch and box cutters (flap jack). There were some others, but they have slipped the mind.

Head back to playground. Complete 2X5 sets of negative pull-ups, followed by a last set of 5 regular pull-ups. Last exercise: pike raises on the swingsets. COT.

 

Naked Moleskin:

This backblast took FOREVER, as YHC is in the midst of finals, the audit, sale of subsidiary, blah blah blah. Thanks to the PAX for coming out and putting up with YHC throwing together a workout, as YHC was unaware he had the Q until about 2030 Tuesday evening, after a variety of deep-fried foods for chow.

There were multiple requests from the PAX to stay light on the legs, which YHC was absolutely down with. The tweet went out Tuesday night to bring #allthethangs, and one sandbag was the #onlythang that made it out. However, the PAX made the most of it, and pushed hard all morning.

General has been killing it recently (maybe not just recently?). He’s out every morning, pushing everyone to get better (especially YHC).

Haggis was recovering from his 5000000 mile run over the weekend, but still was hammering everyone into the ground. After a few seconds he learned the dragon walk form, and is officially the best at that too. As always, the Haggis plank is brutal.

Frehley’s Comet continues to impress me with his ability to kick ass at everything. There’s always a lot of jabs at age (yea, he’s old enough to be my dad), but there’s no debate in his ability to lead and push the PAX every morning. Respect has two meanings with this #HIM.

Cable guy. Dude is just mad crazy. In the terms of he’s sneaky (no crap talk) and an absolute BEAST. YHC took notice when he failed at the plank, looked over, and CG was absolutely KILLING IT, not a single shake. Fast, strong, BEAST.

 

Again, apologies for the delay in the BB. It was pleasure to lead, and look forward to the next go-around.

Aye!
