Shiny Happy People

9 happy souls took the challenge this morning despite the hot, humid conditions and decided to improve their abilities.

The Thang:

Jog over to ‘muscle beach’ for COP. Perform SSH, IW, arm circles, MC and 10 monkey humpers with your backside facing muscle beach.  I’m sure our Schwarzenegger-like brothers appreciated the view.

Jog over to the soccer fields where YHC had conveniently placed flags in a similar shape to a regulation size football field.  At each flag perform the following exercise while sprinting the length of the field and mosey the width. Increasing reps at each flag until complete and lunge-walk to next flag after each round.

Round 1: Merkins: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

Round 2: LBC: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50

Round 3: Burpees: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

Run over to rock pile. Grab a lifting rock to be proud of and perform the following for 3 rounds:

  • 20 curls, 20 triceps extension, 30 American Hammer with rock

Jog/mosey/walk as YHC is beginning to wane over to the playground and perform the following:

  • 10, 10-second decline pull-ups with forward facing grip
  • 25 donkey kicks
  • 10, 10-second decline pull-ups with underhand grip
  • 25 donkey kicks

Walk/Mosey to the side parking lot where the roundabout is located for the Stack.

  • Run to roundabout, perform 5 HR merkins. Run back to starting point
  • 5 HR merkins, 10 V-ups, run to roundabout.
  • 5 HR merkins, 10 V-ups, 15 squats, run back to starting point
  • 5 HR merkins, 10 V-ups, 15 squats, 20 LBCs

Undo Stack in reverse order.

  • 20 LBCs, 15 squats, 10 V-ups, 5 HR merkins.  Run to roundabout
  • 15 squats, 10 V-ups, 5 HR merkins. Run back to starting point
  • 10 V-ups, 5 HR merkins. Run to roundabout
  • 5 HR merkins.

Mercy.  Return to cars.

Moleskin: The heat and humidity took a toll on the Pax from the very beginning.  However, the Pax was strong and pushed forward with great attitudes.  Nothing fancy today. Running, merkins and core work. Some mumblechatter regarding the pullups, but then again, no one likes doing pullups.  Good time was had by all.  Thanks to Brew for taking us out.  Well done gentlemen, enjoy your afternoon nap!!

Bruh. It was gross out there this morning. If Deep Dish had, as he told me on Thursday, handed off to me at the halfway point, we would’ve done IW and arm circles in the shade for the last 30 minutes. Alas, he was all too happy to keep pouring it on. Good group this morning:

Marlin – seemed to have an extra gear this morning on the runs. Without Etrade, he had to push Nemo (his 2.0) himself.

Nemo – He said 2-a-day soccer practices wore him down this week. He said this from the front of the group this morning though.

Strange Brew – He lives 2 doors down, but we hardly ever post at the same workout. Dude was getting after it on the first round of the Stack. I could tell he was unhappy when Deep Dish told us to run it back.

Spidey (Brew’s 2.0) – Clearly there under protest, but he showed flashes of greatness – particularly when he was going to run the length of the field while carrying his shoes.

Boerewors – Rung his shirt out at the end a la Mr. Brady. Solid splash. Gross.

Deep Dish – His hair never got messed up, probably because he new Mrs. Deep Dish was going to swing by after her run. She stood there for about 45 seconds and wisely walked away from the gross, sweaty dudes doing squats and stuff.

Wolfman – He came in today with a story about how he showed up at 7:01 last week and couldn’t find us. Yeah. We warmed up right in the middle of the giant parking lot. I’m sure he looked for us. He got it done today though, grinding it out on the Stack at the end.

Geraldo – Bruh, where did that speed come from in the last Stack? Crushed it – beat us all back to the start. Nice work.

Program Alert: On 8/13 (two weeks from today), The Rock is going to meet at Randolph Middle School to do a convergence workout with about 5 Metro Saturday workouts, followed by coffeeteria, then a Campus Cleanup. More details to follow, but I think we plan to be done by around 10:00. Hopper and I each have a 2.0 at Randolph, and a few of our regulars live nearby. Make the 10 minute drive to join us – it’ll be fun to workout with the Metro guys, and the school really appreciates this cleanup every year.

Solid Q Deep Dish, enjoyed it.
Marlin was crushing it.
Brew, you’re faster each time I see your and Spidey is catching up.
Gummy thanks for the push, couldn’t catch Nemo who was at front.
