Grumpy Old Man

Grumpy Old Man

It was a little nippy this morning, and 9 men showed up at the charge to find out what Chowda had planned for his birthday party. We had a few stragglers due to lack of planning for scraping the ice off the windshield, warming up the car, etc. So we took a lap around the upper lot before heading to the field for a lap around the track, and COP SSH x25, Merkin x10, MC x15. Mosey to the goal line for some ladders of pain. Run the length of the field stopping every 10 yards for the called exercise increasing reps from 1 – 10 on the way out, decrease from 9-1 on the way back.

Round 1 Burpees (crowd pleaser), plank until the Q finishes, 51 LBC’s IC, take a lap

Round 2 Monkey Humpers (reps x2), plank until the Q finishes, 51 Freddie Mercury IC, take a lap

Round 3 HR Merkins (arm fail), plank until the Q finishes, Wall Sit, 10 air press IC

Animals – Bear Crawl 25 yds, Crab Walk 25 yds, reapeato, sprint back to the goal line

Mosey back to COT

Nice work out there, a lot of heavy breathing in COT. Thanks for sharing the first hour of your day with me on my Birthday.

The Charge is planning to shutter its doors after next week. It has been a regular stop for me over the past few years, and I will miss connecting with our Area 51 brothers each week. Let’s make sure we close out the AO with a bang next week if we can’t find a way to sustain this workout. Kudos to DD’s and Baracus for sustaining this group on the outskirts of Area 51 and Metro.

Thanks to Tesla for leading us out in prayer.

Aye!
