Old School

We finally got a little warmer temperature this morning, but the conditions were still wet.  This must be one of the rainiest winters on record!  Nevertheless, most men still in the habit of long sleeve and toboggan hats, and John Deere looked like he was dressed for a hike in the arctic circle.  So there were 11 of us that met at the VSF (when are we getting a real flag anyways?).  DDs skipped the disclaimer as we had a group of old pros, and got things started a few seconds early to get some extra value for the dollar.

The Thang:

10 burpees in parking lot

Mosey around parking lot side steps, high knees, squats, backward jog, heels to butts, lunge walk fwd & backwards, up the hill.

Circle up in bball court for COP:

20 of everything:

  • SSH
  • Imperial walker
  • Mountain Climber
  • Parker Peter
  • Left and right arm out
  • Hip slappers
  • Peter Parker
  • Plank 6 inches

Mosey to upper parking lot

Square of death 20×20 grid

  • Beat crawl 10yd increments, lunge walk back (10, 20, 30, 40 yds) Short sharp sprints while pax do an exercise

Cardio:

80 yd sprint while partner completes 10 mercin, wide arm, diamond, dips. Repeat x3 Mosey back thru campus stopping for people’s chair 60 seconds, balls to wall.

10 knees ups on wall

10 dips

10 dercins

Finish w bear crawl alley – 30 yd bear crawl thru road cones serpentine style.

Moleskin:

  • DDs has heard enough talk of heated tracks, cushioned fields, and stadiums with escalators, so he took us to a whole new section of campus with parking lots paved with broken glass for an old school style workout.
  • The “Square of Death” was painful, if not monotonous.  As repetitive as it felt, Joker didn’t figure out the pattern until our fourth cycle around the square.  He may have taken time to figure out the pattern, but he certainly had the bear crawl figured out along with John Deere, who was referred to as a “cockroach” due to his crawling skills.  Hope that nickname doesn’t stick.
  • Big Easy… I mean Who Dat… or whatever his name is…has been posting consistently the last few weeks.  Great work brother!  Glad to see you coming back for more.
  • Good to see our regulars out there – Dick Clark, Arena, Blue Rhino, Huddle, Crypto, Chowder…great work this morning guys.
  • Thanks to John Deere for taking us out.

Double D’s was all business yesterday. It was good to see the rest of the campus out at PDS. Not exactly the mean streets of Detroit, but yes there is some texture in those upper parking lots.

I just couldn’t figure out the square of death for some reason. I guess I’m not a “thinking man’s” member of the PAX when it comes to creative exercises.

Those bear crawls definitely put a hurtin on my traps today.
