Swarm AMRAP x 2

Swarm AMRAP x 2

14 sweaty dudes . . . THE END!  You know I can’t do a short backblast.  Texting with Dasher last night about ideas, he actually mentioned a workout idea that was my backup weinke for this past week’s Ignition.  So that must be a sign, let’s do it!

WARMUP:

• DCCS recited including the COVID disclaimer about #SweatPilePolicing . . . But that made me think, when was it EVER ok to lay down in another man’s sweat pile?
• Mosey to Bus loop
• SSH x 15, Merkins, PP, Merkins, MC, Merkins, Plank Jacks, Squats

FIRST AMRAP:

• 15 minutes around “The Original” course
• 15 of each at various stops:  Derkins, Bomb Jacks, Al Gore Front Shoulder rock raise, Mike Tysons
• 1 hand release knee slap burpee for every lap completed
• 5 laps completed for all

SECOND AMRAP:

• 15 minutes on “The Hill” course
• 4 runs up the hill (sideways left, sideways right, backwards, and straight), 15 BTW shoulder taps, 15 donkey kicks against HS wall
• 1 hand release knee slap burpee for every lap completed
• 4 laps completed for all

THIRD AMRAP THE BUS LOOP:

• Partner up for lap around bus loop
• When you meet, 5 hand release knee slap burpees
• Sprint every other light pole back to COT

MOLESKINE:

• The plan was three 15 minute AMRAPs but ran out of time due to some moseys and mary
• Tool Time and Dasher killed it out front all day . . . Dasher even had time to complain about how easy the workout was due to him modifying the exercises
• Kudos to Premature for getting out of his comfort zone and making another appearance at the hour long workout . . . Well done brother!
• Good to have Smithers back . . . At least that is what this skinny guy is calling himself
• Deflated with gas left in the tank on a few of the late runs . . . Must have heard the also skinny Foundation compliment Smithers and got jealous
• Speaking of skinny guys, who is the guy claiming to be Nails . . . The puffy jacket has been replaced with the skin shirt
• It’s about time Sprinkles made his way back to the hour long workout scene . . . And glad to see he is under the tutelage of Zinfandel as they were both offering great encouragment/compliments to the Q today
• Fellow Waxhaw Express teammates Easy Button, Gerber, Hollywood, and Glidah continue to push hard . . . it’s awful awesome to be looking at your backs have you guys at workouts
