Tour de Joust

Tour de Joust

12 guys + 1 unnamed late arrival (Skywalker) showed up (eventually) at Charlotte Christian this morning to get a little workout.  While YHC never really had this group under control, I think we still got our money’s worth.  Here’s what we did…

Mosey up the parking lot in front of the school – passing Skywalker on his way in

• Lunge walk to stretch the legs
• Butt kickers
• High knees

Circle up for COP

• SSH x20ish
• IW x20ish
• Squat x20ish

Numbers are a little squishy…I think I was the only one counting this morning and even I gave up eventually.

Flip over to plank position

• First person goes to 6 inches, and each person follows around the circle until back the first person, who then goes back to plank position (each person follows) – that’s a count of 2
• Repeat up to 10

Jog over to the blue door

• Peoples chair w/air presses x20
• BTW
• Peoples chair w/air presses x15
• BTW
• Peoples chair w/air presses x10
• BTW

Mosey to playground

• Find a partner – AMRAP pull-ups (partner assisted when necessary)

Jog over to the top of G-ma mountain for Hill Repeats

• Increasing reps of merkins (at top) and sit-ups (at bottom): 10x, 12x, 14x, 16x, 18x, 20x
• Finish at the bottom

Jog to the bleachers

• 20 tricep dips IC
• Run up the steps
• 10 lunge jump burpees
• Run back down the steps
• 20 decline merkins
• Repeat on other side of press box

Jog to the end line for gassers

• Sprint to the other end line and jog back
• Repeato 5x

Mosey back to parking lot

Moleskin

T-claps to all the men out there this morning for putting in some hard work.  An extra t-claps to Big Top and Yeti for running in this morning (I still don’t know where Yeti is coming from…he just materializes in the upper parking lot every Friday).

This group today certainly knew it was Friday…and the 13th no less.  Everyone seemed to be excited for the upcoming weekend and there was lots of chatter led by Skywalker..to the point I completely lost count of where we were in COP, which is definitely a first for me.

This AO has so much to offer for a bootcamp, so we toured almost all of it…from the blue door, to the playground, to Grandma Mountain, the bleachers, and the field.  A little bit of something for everyone, even introduced a new exercise.  Seems that the Lunge Jump Burpees were a crowd favorite…  I know they kicked my tail.

Strong work by all of you men pushing yourself out there this morning.  I may get this wrong, but I think I saw Yeti, Smokey, and Dollywood out front a bit this morning.  Stone Cold killed it on the AMRAP pull-ups…then provided the assist I needed to get mine in (pull-ups = kryptonite).  Sensei was getting after it during the gassers too.  Some debate about finding someone fast enough to lead him on the field…Header partnered up with him and they took off.

As always, a pleasure to lead this great group of men.  Hope you got your money’s worth this morning.
