Good clean fun

Good clean fun

13 men posted at Day Zero to enjoy the crisp, chilly, first days of summer.  A timely Friday email from Prohibition (apparently unable to post????) reminded YHC that he was in the queue to Q – I feigned a sharp memory but without that wake-up call there would have been a lot of blank stares in the parking lot.  With the A51 Q-school going on just down 51, YHC was reminded of one of critical Q principles: “If you can’t do it, don’t Q it.”   Various old man ailments would need to be navigated.  I think we can still keep things lively – – it went down like this:

The Thang:

A slow, chatter-heavy mosey around the track and circle up on the basketball court.  Disclaimer delivered.

COP:

• 15 x Merkins in cadence, holding at the bottom
• IW x 20 IC.
• Mountain Climber x 15 IC
• Bottom Squats x 15 IC

YHC is sensing the youthful cockiness and a shocking lack of respect during COP, so we take a little diversion to aq favorite snobberlocker to lower the energy level, the Merkin Ladder:

Line up on the track

Run across soccer field – 20 merkins

Run back – 19 hand-touch-jump-squats

Run across – 18 merkins

Run back – 17 jump squats

Continue down to 1.

Everyone really liked this.  You’re welcome.

Mosey back to the basketball court – on your 6:

Flutter x 5 IC

Dolly x 5 IC

LBC x 5 IC

5 rounds continuous – no feet touching.

Mosey up to the parking – partner up – grab a sandbag (Hate!) out of Radar’s car.
P1 runs to the cone in the middle of the field – 8 count burpees x 5, then return

P2 does continuous sandbag squats.

Rinse and repeat x 3 rounds.

Sweet.

Mosey to the rock pile. Same partners – grab a lifting rock.

P1 runs to the cone in the middle of the field – 8 count burpees x 5, then return

P2 performs 10 curls, 10 press, 10 tricep, rinse and repeat until P1 returns.

Rinse and repeat x 3 rounds.

Gratitude from the pax is building.

Mosey to far corner of the track.

P1 runs to the cone in the middle of the field – 8 count burpees x 5, then return (did you need to ask?)

P2 performs 10 groiners, 10 Sister-Mary-Catherine, rinse and repeat until P1 returns.

The gratitude and admiration has turned to insubordination and YHC sees a lot of standing around, so we break off after 2 rounds.

Mosey to the Filmont MEMORIAL (where ya at brother?) pull-up bars

P1 runs to the cone in the middle of the field – 8 count burpees x 5, then return (did you need to ask?)

P2 performs 5 pull-ups, 5 dips, rinse and repeat until P1 returns.

Pretty sure we did 2 rounds.

Mosey to Basketball court – on your 6:

Side crunch x 5 IC

Flapjack x 5 IC

Freddy Mercury x 5 IC

Continuous sets – 3 times through.

That’s it!

Moleskin

Great to be back at Day Zero – been avoiding it since they decided to carry large weights down 51.  First morning in the nasty humidity for YHC – – not much done the rest of the day.  Good work by the pax – tried to keep continuous motion (Champagne impact).  Thanks for letting the oldness call the plays.
