Homemade Hell

YHC wanted to bring low mileage to the ‘High Intensity’ DZ workout. Mainly due to the fact that YHC doesn’t care to run to Charlotte Catholic, and doesn’t want to visit The Lauren Conrad. So in order to bring high intensity, and have everyone get their money’s worth without putting down 4+ miles – I had to find items around the house I could bring and lift. Good thing Home Depot carries 12 ft. 6×6 posts! …and Poptart letting me borrow his kitchen cabinet handles.

What we did:
Mosey @ track – circle up at basketball courts: SSH x 20; IW x 20

2 man teams / pain stations (have equal amount of stations per teams – I’ll work in if odd # of pax)
All pax AMRAP until a team completes lap @ track with post – go until all teams do a lap with the post.
Pain Stations (Thanks Fault Line for the recommendation to shift stations once the team with the post makes half way around the track).
– Hammer curls w/4×6
– Overhead press with 12 ft post
– Bent row w/ sandbag
– Reverse fly w/bricks
– Man-maker merkins w/bricks
– Thrusters with sandbags
– Partner sit ups with sandbag: Reach back with sandbag, sit up and pass coupon between partner.

Lunge Walk from one end of the basketball court passing brick between legs. If brick falls to the ground – 5 burpees. Lunge walk back.

Form 2 lines for Indian Run around track with one sandbag passed back per line. Thanks to Bounce for the recommendation.

Circle for LBC X 100

Moleskin:
– Pre-run by BRR runners: today worked well for them to get a full body workout both aerobic and anaerobic.
– YHC thinks that it was the most humid day of the year. We were all sweating after the warmup mosey.
– Voodoo brought an FNG – Welcome Bloomers. He might or might not have spilled Merlot. I hope he does come back.
– My twin brother wore the same shirt so no one could tell us apart except for the headband.
– Thanks to Fault Line and Bounce for the recommendations / variants to the workout.
– Higher than normal pax posting DZ today. I hope everyone enjoyed it. I lead again 9/17 and plan to bring everything out again. I’ll polish up the clunkiness of some of the stations and details.
– We have a lot of brothers and sisters hurting. Please keep them all in your prayers: Glass Joe, Hops, Stump Hugger, McGee.
– Thanks for letting me lead Dear Abby and Buttermaker. That was fun.

Announcements:
– F3 Dads – NFL Play 60 canceled. SOB’s are still running F3 Dads so post there instead.
– F3 Golf still open for signups
– Keep praying for Olive from Isotope. We will be having a toy drive for Levine’s Children’s Hospital this Christmas. Let’s make it huge – F3 Style. Hairball and Voodoo on Q for this.

No doubt one of the more memorable workouts IMO. The Man-maker merkin w/bricks stood out and that frickin’ beam (carry and overhead press) left their mark on my shoulders the rest of the weekend. I was fortunate to have Bucky pushing me along…it got pretty hot out there. Solid Q Strawberry.

Strong Q, Strawberry. That was a nasty beatdown and I’m still sore in all kinds of places.

I think Bloomers heaved or dry heaved at least 3 times, but he said he had a great time and will be back. He’s new to Charlotte and said this is exactly what he was looking for. He’s in Chapel Hill M-Th and said he was going to try to hit workouts there as well. Thanks to the pax for making him feel welcome despite his struggles.
