That time we did burpees after running up a hill

15 men posted at Fast Twitch this morning (See Haze – I listed the workout).  They all did this despite my promise of awesomness at the workout.  I am certain all were pleased with their choice to attend.

Disclaimer given.  Notice that if you got lost to stay where you are and we will come find you.  Just like your mom used to say when you went to the department store.

Clock hit 0515 and we rolled out down Strawberry Ln.

Stop towards the end for some imperial walkers and low slow squats with inside voice cadence count.  Head on down from there to the bottom of the Coburn halfpipe.

The Thing:

Partner up with like speed.  P1 runs one way to the stop sign, P2 runs the other way to the stop sign.  At the stop sign P1 does 10 Romanian Dead Lifts each leg.  P2 does 10 burpees.  Run back to the middle for 10 handslap merkins.  Flap jack.  Continue this with increasing counts of RDL’s and burpees of 15, 20 and 25.  Everyone was super excited about doing all those burpees.  Pretty sure no one grumbled a complaint.

Muster back at the bottom of the hill when everyone finishes for some plank work.  Head back towards school.  Stop when we get to Strawberry Ln for some mary while we wait on the 6.  LBC’s and Protractor.

Head back towards school but stay straight when everyone wanted to go left into the parking deck.  Settle up at the speedbump by the Pre-School.

Slim-Fast claims it’s 400M from this speed bump down Strawberry until the 2nd speedbump you pass.  We sprinted it.  Once down and once back.  Was going to do a few more, but traffic was a little hectic at that hour.  Apparently RFYL runs out of water in all 7 bottles they carry and bolts right after 6pm to refill.

Mosey into the lot for a few more 100M sprints to kill the last few minutes.

Moleskine:

Solid crowd of Fast Twitchers this morning.  The tandem of Rachel and LaRonda were cruising around Coburn.  Might be the combined 3 lbs of body fat they share.  Haze started out claiming he wasn’t doing the 25 burpees and then put on his big boy pants and did them anyway.  A few others shameless and needlessly audibled to LBC’s and poetry recitations.  Not saying who that was but it might rhyme with Mummy and Force Fred.

Benny, Fault Line, Run Stopper and One-Eye weren’t far off the lead.  I think Runstopper was making up time on the burpees (t-rex style).  Good to see Fireman Ed getting some work in.  After all we launch like 300 yards from his house, no real good excuses.  Hopper and Fault Line argued over who was older.  I think they took out their dentures and compared them to see who had the most rings on them.

Ascending exercises, especially burpees, were a nice touch. Sneaky tough. And at the top of a hill. Good crew out this morning. Always a strong Q from Alf

Alf, I did several burpees, and all of the hand slap merkins. Ok, maybe not the last round, but Hopper and I had agreed on that before you changed the rules.

Also, it hurts my feelings that you started the ad about upcoming Qs the week after my Q next week. Thanks

Gummy, that was not meant to slight you. Your Q needs no advertising.

Poetry?

There once was a wee man named Alf
Who lives in a big fancy house
Hangs out with the Minions
Has arms like a Penguin
And his workouts make us all Ralph
