Beautiful morning for a nice mix of lifting, running, and a little lagniappe mixed in for good measure

Beautiful morning for a nice mix of lifting, running, and a little lagniappe mixed in for good measure

Lagniappe – a Cajun creole term that essentially means a little something extra, which was the theme for the day.  After disclaiming the Pax (19 total, with 1 FNG) and strongly suggesting trying to keep up today as it would be beneficial to all, we were off:

The Warmup:

Stroll around the parking lot

25 Side Straddle Hops

15 Low Slow Squats

15 Mountain Climbers

20 Imperial Walkers

20 Cotton Pickers

The Thang:

After our nice warmup, we partnered up and partner 1 hit the rock pile, while partner 2 planked it up.  First, we started with 200 chest presses total, with partner 1 pressing, and partner 2 running up to the top of the parking lot hill and doing 4 BBBs (Big Boy Burpees).  Then the Lagniappe came into play, for every group that finished behind mine, we did a burpee – 7 in total after round 1.

Next, we did 100 squat thrusts in total, with partner 1 thrusting, and partner 2 running to top of the hill to do Carolina dry docks.  The pax got the hint regarding the lagniappe, and sped it up (or I got slower) and we did 5 lagniappe burpees in round 2.  Next, we did 200 curls in total, with partner 1 curling and partner 2 running to top of the hill to do jump squats.  The pax slowed a bit in round 3, which resulted in 7 lagniappe burpees following this round.  Finally, we did 50 rock hand off sit-ups with our partners.  In between each round we added in some additional lagniappe planks, various Mary’s as well as some side straddle hops.  

The rock work was now done, so we moseyed to the side of the school where we did an alternating light pole run which entailed doing 10 merkins at pole 1, then 10 jump squats at pole 2 then alternated to the end.  At the end we planked it up until the 6 arrived.  Next we bear crawled around the world, then did various Mary’s and planks until the pax was done.  Next we we were warned multiple times by Goodfella (aka Big Ben… London reference not the Steelers QB) that time was getting short, maybe since he was so far back in the pax all morning he didn’t notice my watch was functioning properly and we were good on time.  On our way back to the launch we alternated light poles again, with 10 LBCs and 10 Carolina dry docks.  Finally, we moseyed back, finishing right on time with a few Mary’s for good measure.

Announcements:
