Not So Rainy, Rainy Day Workout

Cantore was off his game last night. High chance of rain and thunderstorms were expected this morning. It didn’t happen. YHC had already planned a rainy day workout so that’s what we did. A quick disclaimer was given in the parking lot. 19 men then headed over to Tartarus.

Thang

Run over to the second level of the parking deck for COP. Merkins x 10 / Low Slow Squats x 10 / Heels to Heaven x 15, Wide Arm Merkins x 10, Mountain Climbers x 15 all done IC.

Line up on wall on one side of the parking deck facing the opposite side. Bear Crawl to the other side, turn around, complete 1 Merkin. Bear Crawl back, turn around, 2 Merkins. Continue with ascending Merkins to 6. The original goal was 10, but after much mumblechatter and PAX modification it was reduced to 6.

Run to the bottom of the parking deck.

Going up do 2 Monkey Humpers at every parking space line on the inclines of the deck. 10 Merkins at each turn. Lunge Walk the flat parts of the deck. Do this all the way to the top level. Then run back to the start. Mary while waiting for the six. Repeat this one more time, but with Board Jumps instead of Monkey Humpers.

Ended the workout with 7s. Go all the way to the top of the deck completing Kraken Burpees (a Burpee with 3 HR Merkins) and all the way back down using the deck for more Kraken Burpees. Time ran out before completion. Everyone headed back to the launch after time expired. Circle up for COT.

Moleskin 

Nice work out there today gentlemen. Looked like everyone was pushing hard. I hope everyone got something out of it. Thanks for coming out even though my Qing is still in its infancy. I look forward to more opportunities.

Whoa – A workout with lots of bear crawls! I hate missing that – my one and only chance to lead these days. Bummer.

I hated missing the posting altogether today. After four straight, my (getting) old (fast) body needed a day to recover. See you guys next week!

P.S. Does McGee get to count a Kraken burpee three times?

Another solid Q. The full 7s would have been brutal. Definitely need to run that with more time on the clock another day. Kraken burpees are now in my arsenal. Not fun, but effective.

Aye that was a solid beat down – if Rachel’s Qing is in its infancy, I’m afraid of where it might go. And yes Kraken burpees are now in my arsenal as well.

I didn’t jump and “Boards” so do I need to go back and do them over. Veteran Q would have made the PAX suffer (I mean get stronger) by going all the way to 10 on the bear crawl/merkin ladder. That would have been really aweful.

Only two rounds of 7’s was enough.

I read that another AO (in Cotswold I think) did Gorilla Humpers. I don’t think I want to know what the hell those are.

Great Q Rachel. Your cadence was perfect – did you stay up all night watching the how to count video?

I wasn’t sure how far to push the bear crawls. There was a lot of talking going on and I’m a new Q.

No video needed for cadence. I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps. It is ingrained in my brain.

As long as you can Q it then you can do it. The PAX can modify as necessary.

When Champagne opined about taking the elevator after the 2nd or 3rd round of 7s it officially became a brutal workout. Thank you for not lapping me this morning, I guess the Kraken Burpess slowed you down.

Oh yeah, and don’t worry, only a few bruises (no broken bones) from when you ran over me trying to catch Frazier.

Yeah, sorry about that. I came around that blind corner and you were just there. Frazier turned on the afterburners at the end.

Lets be very clear on something PJ – I would never take the elevator even if I had to crawl down the ramps back to the bottom. #Dotherightthing.

Thank goodness I smartsacked! Bear crawls are BS!

Next week YHC will leave the deck alone out of respect for Rachel next week. But looking forward to working out with some PAX I haven’t seen in a while and some new PAX in A51. Like the Boy Scouts say…. Be Prepared
