Do I Need Gloves for This

Do I Need Gloves for This

So… apparently YHC has a reputation for turning unsuspecting PAX’s hands into hamburger when I Q at Waverly.  There was quite the debate, gloves or no gloves this morning while we gathered around 0525, most opted in and off we went.

THE THANG:

Mosey to the faux turf for COP

-25 SSH, 1 Burpee, 25 IW, 2 Burpees, 15 Low Slow Squats, 3 Burpees, 15 Low Slow Merkins, 4 Burpees

-Mosey to nearby benches, partner up.  Partner runs round the building and does 10 merkins while partner 2 does little hazes, flapjack, repeato.  Next Partner 1 runs round the turf rectangle while partner 2 swaps between 10 dips, 10 derkins, flapjack.  Grab some wall for peoples chair, leg lift L for 30 seconds, Leg lift R for 30 seconds.  5 burpees

-Mosey to parking deck, head to the 3rd floor, grab some wall for more peoples chair, then balls to the wall.  Still with the same partner, Partner 1 runs down the stairs to 2 and then across to the 2nd staircase and back up while partner 1 alternates between 5 exploding merkins and 5 palm slap jump squats, flapjack.  6 Burpees

-Head to the bottom of the  ramp to 3.  Alternating forward and backward lunge walks with 5 merkins every time Q calls to change directions. 7 Burpees

-Elevator Merkins on the ramp, with forward and backward bearcrawl mixed in.  Mosey to top of the ramp afterwards.  8 burpees

-Peoples chair at the top of the deck intermixed with wall-tar-jai, donkey kicks, wall touch merkins.  9 Burpees

-Mosey to the bottom of the ramps and proceed to Indian run up the deck, only passing on the up ramps. 10 Burpees at the top of the deck.

-Return to launch for ~3 minutes of plank-o-rama and Mary, done.

Ye Olde Moleskinny

When Joker through out he needed a substitute-Q for Cerberus this week, YHC took it knowing it would drag me from the fartsack on a Friday, which isn’t always my strongest posting day.  I’ve spent plenty of gloom time at Waverly for WAMRAP, but rarely have I gotten out to the AO on other days… as such the parking deck is the only part of the AO I know particularly well.  I’ll have to get out more often to learn what else is available on campus.  Additionally, its amazing to get out with different PAX, and having not boot camped much this year, there are new faces for me just about everywhere.

The crew at Cerberus seemed a serious lot, except maybe for One-star I think.  I’m a bit more accustomed to mumble chatter filled workouts, so the quiet grind this morning was an adjustment.  Thankfully Alf was there to throw the occasional barb else I would have thought we were at a FIA workout.  Speaking of the great cat-a-tarian, I gotta figure out what his M is feeding him #fastANDstrong.  Speaking of physical specimens, does anyone else hope they can perform like Snowflake as the approach double-respect?

Don’t really know Rousey that well, but the dude has an awesome attitude.  He was so excited to be in the gloom he was the first to start almost every exercise, even to the point of trying to repeat circuits which weren’t intended to repeat… dude gets after it.

Thanks to the PAX for putting up with a weird one today, a couple ideas didn’t pan out the way I wanted but still think we’ll be feeling that one later.  Although, now that I think about it, the weinke wasn’t nearly as weird as Alf’s solution to solve Trick-or-Treat in a socially distant world… ask him about it, it will haunt your dreams.
