Unsavory Birthday Bash!!

Unsavory Birthday Bash!!

There’s nothing like 35 brothers getting after it in the pre-dawn hours.  The shovel flag was firmly planted, and then Cheese Curd and Stagecoach delivered the PAIN.         

From CC:  “Thanks for celebrating my b-day in the gloom.  It was a pleasure to get the day started with you all!”

WARMUP:

• Jog (with a slight “Dolphin” dash) around parking lot and what I thought was a grassy area (watch out for potholes)

COP:

• SSH x 37
• Imperial Walker x 37

Jog to base of stairs near baseball field for partner wheel barrel up the steps.  Just 1 time thru for each partner.  We have other cool stuff to get to.

Say goodbye to your partner and split into two groups: group 1 with Cheese Curd, group 2 with Stagecoach (start with sprints).  No flapjacks half way thru this time…stay with your QIC for entire workout.

Obstacle Work:

Mosey to baseball fields

First Circuit x 2

1. Rails hops (all the way to the bottom)
2. Dips x20
3. Bunny Hops

Second Circuit x2

1. Stadium bleacher cross-over to the right (picture decline merkin plank moving from end to end on the bleacher)
2. Squats x30
3. Stadium bleacher cross-over to the left

Third Circuit- Bleacher Obstacle  

1. Crest the rear of the bleacher and 10 decline merkins
2. Rinse and repeat

Plank in between circuits until all PAX is done.

Sprinting and Core:

Mosey to football/futball (as Bulldog would say) field and line up at one end

Stagecoach’s group:

• Sprint 200 yards, then 20 LBC’s
• Sprint 200 yards, then 20 Dolly
• Sprint 200 yards, then 20 Bicycles
• Sprint 200 yards, then 20 Parker Peter’s

Cheese Curd’s group:

• 100 yard sprint, LBC’s-37
• 200 yard sprint, Dying Cockroaches-37
• 100 yard sprint, Bicycles-37

Thankfully no more sprinting

Hill Work:

Mosey to the hill for 11’s:

1 Merkin at bottom of hill, then 10 Jump Squats at top of hill

2 Merkins at bottom, 9 Jump Squats at top

You get the idea.

Audible:  Stagecoach saved his group from this misery about 75% of the way thru so we could stay on schedule.

Other audibles: 

• CC’s group got in wall plank peter parkers, People’s Chair, J-Lo’s and bicycles (37 of course)
• SC’s group worked in wall planks, wall mountain climbers and people’s chair as extras

Entire group came back together for COT

Moleskin:

• It was great to have Cheese Curd Q on his 37^th birthday.
• QIC’s tried to do some obstacle work this AM, so we tried a couple new things with the bleachers, hope you liked them.
• On the obstacles, Psycho T was apparently thinking back to his days of jumping over offensive linemen.  #destroytheqb
• We contemplated whether we should do 1 or 2 trips of partner wheelbarrows up the stairs.  We stuck with 1, however I think it was #crowdpleaser, so we’ll do a few more next time!
• Pretty quiet group today once we got moving…must have been the O₂ deprivation.
• There were suggestions and gift offerings of 37 burpees.  Sounds like Bulldog still owes CC some burpees!
