18 men gathered to work themselves into a finely sculpted piece of kick a*s. No cutesy coupons or venturing into new territory today; just a simple beatdown.
What we did. Tha Thang:
– Mosey in a circle around parking area in front of theatre – karoke, backwards, slide.
– Circle up/Disclaimer:
SSH x 40; 5 burpees OYO
Heels2Heaven x 25; 4 burpees OYO
IW x 20; 3 burpees OYO
Low Slow Squat x 20; 2 burpees OYO
Merkins x 20; 1 burpee OYO
– Mosey to grassy area in front of hill for Grass Drills (run in place with knees high). Warning provided to PAX – No feet dragging or punishment ensues. While running in place, YHC calls out numbers 1 or 2 or 3 for said exercise then start back running in place.
Call out ‘1’ – drop and 5 merkins.
Call out ‘2’ – drop and 5 crunches
Call out ‘3’ – run up to top of hill and back down
– Mosey to Fountain and partner up. Each team – 300 dips; 200 crunches; 100 jump ups/step ups. Partner 1 does exercise while partner 2 runs around building.
– Indian run back to theatre
– Peoples chair – various leg raised with air presses x 25
– Mary – random exercise called and cadence by Pax around the circle. Tried to incorporate Pax that have not led or have only led a few times for them to get used to leading cadence.
Moleskin:
– YHC hadn’t done or participated in workouts at Stonecrest involving partners and the fountain in a while. We’ve been getting away from the bread and butter of this site and have been getting too cute with bricks and ventures down the Murderhorn. Time to get back to basics.
– Is my watch off by 2 minutes or is Chippy’s? …And Poptart’s? …And Go Daddy’s? Seems like I’m in the minority. We’ll just end 2 minutes early.
– Speaking of Chipotle; Tclaps to the ribbing YHC received. That’s a part of what makes working out at 5:30am in the morning better than the Y – having (making) fun with/at friends while making each other stronger.
– Mighty Mite has a good memory. YHC’s workouts must make an impression on him. Post Rebel Yell more to get in on the inside jokes.
– Vineyard worked his tail off today – great partner brother. No comment on the 8 step…7 step…6 step burpees during Mary.
– Good to see Peaches out at Rebel Yell. YHC hasn’t seen him in a while.
– Been seeing Goonie in the gloom a lot. Love to see newer Pax posting regularly. Now if YHC can get back to that…
– BB posted a little over 24 hours after the workout. I’m working on getter quicker at that for my Big (little) brother Purple Haze. If you don’t know what I’m talking about get on Twitter and join the Twitting fun.
Annoucements:
– This Saturday at Stonehenge – Dredd and OBT leading the charge. Should be epic.
– A little crazy? Want to see what the 2nd F is all about? Do a double down and fly over to the #Bugvergence at Day Zero. You won’t want to miss this. Seriously.
– Southern Discomfort. Sign up so you can drink water.
