Starfish on the Bricks

Starfish on the Bricks

8 or Area 51’s finest report for duty on a balmy Saturday morning to get their weekend started off right with the tag team duo of Boutique and Mall Cop.

Here’s what we did after being disclaimed:

Warm up jog around the track to survey the finest turf in Area 51 meeting back at the basketball court for COP:

SSH x 20

IW x 20

Low Slow Squat x 20

Mtn Climbers x 20

Merkins x 15

Mosey through the woods over to the Yellow Rose parking lot (AKA Spacklers turf) and meet in the middle of the lot for a 3 legged starfish:

Round 1:  

- Run up stairs, 25 merkins, circle back to starting point                  

10 burpees in center                                                         

- Run to sidewalk in front of day care, bear crawl length, 25 wide arm menkins

10 burpees in center

10 burpees in center

Round 2:

10 burpees in center

Plank at starting point and Hand off to Mall Cop

MC then led the Pax back through the woods to his vehicle where he kindly stashed 2 bricks for each of us. Mosey to the Best Turf in Area 51 for a little strength work.

Line up on soccer field goal line for feats of strength and conditioning while holding our bricks.

We did several sets while running the length of the field in between:

25 Man maker merkins

25 Dolly Presses

25 Flutter Presses

50 Push Presses (quickly audibled to 30…OUCH!)

Once the PAX was sufficiently swole we returned our bricks to MC’s car for Ball of Man.

Moleskine:    MC and I exchanged a few messages before our scheduled Q to try and give the PAX a full body smoker. If I’m any indication, it worked.

YHC was a little gassed during the starfish and called on Radar for a 10 count (he was there in spirit). Might Might…er um…THE Might Might was in front all morning…must be nice to be so young! Filmont never fails to keep the PAX laughing – thanks brother!

As always, it was a pleasure Q’ing Day Zero – Thanks to Prohibition and Hairball for the opportunity.

Aye!
