Back In Time

Back In Time

10 men went back in time this morning as Radar and YHC took the Day Zero co-Q.

The Thang

Radar Q

Run to the far side of the soccer field for COP:

• SSHs x 60 IC
• IWs 20 OYO

Mosey out back entrance and line up for Indian Run to the bottom of Baybrook. A pile of #FunBags were waiting. Each person grab a bag and run up and down the Baybrook hill stopping at each light post for called exercise.

• Round 1 – Diamonds x 5, Merkins x 5, Wide-Arms x 5
• Round 2 – Presses x 5, CDDs x 5, Straight-Arm Lifts x 5

After AYG sprint sans bags to the top and back, grab the bags again for more work. Run up Bevington and left on Carswell stopping at each light post for:

• 5 squats, 5 side lunges right leg, 5 front lunges right leg, 5 side lunges left leg, 5 front lunges left leg

Purple Haze Q

Drop bags and mosey to front of school. Partner up similar speed then split into two teams on opposite sides of parking lot loop. We did The Chase…sprint relay races around the parking lot until one team caught the other. We did three rounds…made for some good interval running.

Mosey down the field for:

• 10 merkins, 40 yard dash, 10 merkins, sprint back
• 20 mountain climbers, 40 yard dash, 20 mountain climbers, sprint back

Mosey to back of Radar’s Explorer and grab the heavy bag. Time for Yellow Rose prep:

• Heavy bag in the middle while each guy takes 1 minute rounds to punch the crap out of the bag
• Guys in the circle did some exercises…squats, LBCs, alternate leg lunges, flutter kicks, etc.

Done. COT.

It was completely old school today, with Pro and HB turning the co-Q reins over to Radar and YHC. And just like days gone by, Radar brought out his fun bags and took longer than his allotted 30 minutes playing with them.

The bags are truly awful. And time has not been good to them. Heavier than ever, multiple layers of gorilla tape, sand leaking out, and the stench of 2 years of sweat on them. YHC hates them. But they make you dig deep.

At coffeeteria, we decided to name the relay race The Chase. Other names thrown out during the workout were ridiculed…the story of my life…and no, that’s not my kid-sized jacket left on the playground.

The heavy bag work was fun. Everyone watching you while you attempt to punch it. While we are tougher fighters than any other Saturday workout, we don’t seem ready for a Yellow Rose brawl.

• Pro, wearing a purple and neon yellow wrist bands, hurt his wrist on one of his slaps. #FartKnocker
• Dear Abby didn’t want to hurt his typing hands.
• Soul Glow took some skin off his knuckles…too much lotion.
• The Mouth just walked around the bag talking junk to it.
• Garbanzo went last…didn’t give it the beating we anticipated but did flip it and give it a belly to belly suplex.

Thanks to Pro and HB for letting us lead again.
