Now I remember why it’s been so long since Bricks were used

Now I remember why it’s been so long since Bricks were used

Eleven strong men gathered at CCHS for an early start to the weekend.    I think Mermaid was Q’ing at the Brave but maybe he saw the pre-blast and opted for the moderate workout.

The Thang:

COP – 10 burpees OYO, 10 SSH, 10 burpees OYO, 10 mountain climbers, 10 jumping lunges, 10 merkins

Grab two pavers (aka bricks) from Q’s SUV and head out.   Jog to base of Palentine for Bermuda Triangle.

Loop was from top of Palentine to corner of office building then to street and then back down to base of Palentine for 1 circuit .   Started with 5 push presses while in squat position at top of Palentine, 5 merkins and 5 squats at office building, and 5 jumping lunges at street – 1 circuit.   Increase counts by 5 each circuit and completed 5 circuits (25 on last circuit for NS State grads).

A few minutes of Mary while PAX gathers with flutter, Rosalita, and sit-ups with one foot on a knee (don’t remember what those are called).

Jog back to CCHS and over to parking deck.  Take the stairs up to level 4 and gather at barrier in middle.   Three sets of decline merkins and dips – 10, 15, 20.

Jog down the ramps stopping at each level for 20 push presses at ends and 20 jumping lunges in the middle.  Complete deck work with a few sprints along with the longest and funniest 10 count yet performed by Icky.

Jog over to parking lot to drop off pavers behind bushes (for future use) and finish with 10 burpees (Icky favorite).

Naked Moleskin:

Purple Haze is in the Centurion Hall of Fame for coming up with the Bermuda Triangle about a year ago.    We “enhanced” it today by adding the pavers to jack up the heart rate even further.  PAX was lucking there was construction on other side of office building that cut our distance down a bit.

Rachel was an FNG to Centurion but led the pax in the circuit work.   Hope to see you back often to push us.  Lorax was near the front so maybe he was just sizing up the new guy for future reference. YHC was able to stay in front of Abacus (unlike at the last 10K) so I think he saves his best for big crowds.  All the PAX finished the circuit and yes, my form was perfect on every exercise.

As always, loved the workout and the fellowship.  Great group of men.

Announcements

Still trying to figure out how to partner with school (Mermaid staying on me like a doting mother – #accountability) but getting replies has been difficult.  I may have to drive over to Runstopper’s house to get him to reply (anyone seen him – you know, the old guy that is strong but real slow). Hops suggest campus clean up and we will consider all options.   Maybe we just take 5 minutes after each workout to police the parking lots.

Find some F3 men and get out in the community and make an impact.   There are plenty of options already or you can create something new and exciting.
