Spending New Years Eve At Times Square

Spending New Years Eve At Times Square

Posted on behalf of Iron Horse

7 men chose to join the fun at SPEARHEAD, ensuring they would not make the midnight ball drop this evening….so we took a stroll around the Carmel Middle School Times Square instead .

The Thang:

Stroll down to the football field for COP (Rucks off):

• SSH x 15 IC
• IW x 15 IC
• Mt Climber x 15 IC
• LBC x 15 IC

Rucks ON and New’s Years Hats distributed.
Line up at the 50 yard Times Square for broken 8 count burpees as follows:

• 15 Low Slow Squats – then run 50 yds to next cone.
• 15 Groiners – then run 50 yds to next cone.
• 15 Plank Jacks – then run 50 yds to next cone.
• 15 Merkins – then run 50 yds back to starting cone
• 15 Jump Squats

Rinse and Repeat with 10 Reps.
Rinse and Repeat with 5 Reps.

As someone in the PAX correctly pointed out that we should limit our running under weight, we changed theme.

Partner Up – size doesn’t matter.
Hooters passed out (no, the ones that play music….no, the ones you put in your…..ok, forget it).

Around the Square:

• P1: begins squats while P2 bear crawls to cone 25 yds out.
• Once P2 arrives at cone he calls out SET, and begins squatting while P1 bear crawls to join him.
• Continue this way around Square in 25 meter increments (200 meters total).

SPEARHEAD REST = Dolly’s in cadence while pressing ruck + 15 curls.

Back to start:

• Same cycle as above with Merkins and Lunge Walks (in 25 meter increments for total of 200 meters).

SPEARHEAD REST = Flutters in cadence while pressing ruck + 15 overhead presses.

Back to start:

• Same cycle as above with Backwards Bear crawls and Rolling Merkins
• [audible called as both the Backward Bear crawls and the Rolling Merkins did not illicit the New Year’s spirit: stopped at 100 meters total]

SPEARHEAD REST = Louganis with Ruck + 15 Squatting O/H Presses.

Cool Down: 15 x CDD OYO.

MOLESKIN:

• It was a pleasure to return to the SPEARHEAD playground after misplacing (?) my Ruck the past 8 weeks.
• YHC tried to add a flavor of the GRC Welcome Party (= tedious and unpleasant) to the morning’s fun.
• Good work by everyone – nice way to close out the year.
