On Campus Beat-Down

On Campus Beat-Down

11 strong showed up this morning for what was mistakenly advertised as a “low mileage” workout. Turned out to not really be the case. My bad. The clock hit 7am and with no site Q in sight (Hairball apparently was on child duty, this is yet to be verified, and Pro texted last night with some sort of illness. However, he was feeling good enough to cut his grass at 8am. You do the math) so I gave a quick disclaimer and we got after it.

The Thang:

One mosey around the track to explain the stations we would get to later in the workout and then circled up in the middle of the field. No SSH, no IW, and no mountain climbers…(sorry McGee) we got straight to business.

Split into groups for 4 corners.

10 merkins in the middle
burpees X 10 Corner 1
Hand release merkins X 10 Corner 2
Diamond merkins X 10 Corner 3
Wide grip merkins X10 Corner 4

Straight into the circuit/station workout OYO:

Dips X 20
Jump Ups X 10
Lil’ Haze X 10 (each leg)

Run to the track:

Station 1 – 10 Pull Ups
Station 2 – 10 V-Ups and 20 LBC
Station 3 – 15 Squats and 15 Monkey Humpers
Station 4 – 20 Presses and 20 curls (with cement plates)
Station 5 – AYG to the basketball court
Station 6 – 5 Burpe’ (french version)
Station 7 – Bear Crawl to the top of the ramp

Rinse and Repeat as many times as you can.

Moleskin:

The goal today was to keep moving for the entire 60 minutes and hit the major body parts. I feel we accomplished it. Alf, McGee, Swiper, and Heartbreaker took the early lead on the circuit and never looked back. I was content to fall into the middle of the group with Strawberry. I learned more about him today than I probably have in the year or so that I’ve known him. Good to chat, Bro. I’d be doing us all a huge injustice if I didn’t mention Semi’s antics. Not only did he rip into the parking lot literally going 55mph, but he got out of the car playing the role of Spackler this morning (ie, blood shot eyes, bed-head, and smelling of a homeless alcoholic). On a side note, Spackler couldn’t make it because he was hooked up to an IV at some shady “medical clinic” on East Independence Blvd. I digress. Semi immediately voiced his concerns that he hadn’t had time to use the bathroom at home so we all know what was going to happen..it was only a matter of time. I didn’t see it (but really wish I did) but apparently when it came time to drop the kids off at the pool, Gloss scaled some sort of fence and came out looking really bad. I mean, scratched arms and legs, ripped shirt, etc. Mrs. Gloss isn’t going to be happy. It was strange to say the least. Considering we all split into our own groups, I didn’t get to hear much of the chatter that took place. Feel free to chime in with what I missed. Thanks to Pro and Hairball for the chance to lead this strong group. Solid take-out but I have to say, I forget who did it. Swiper, maybe??? Sorry.

Announcements:

Brick wall rebuild somewhere. I forget where but if you are reading this, you missed it anyway
