Centurion Death Clock… AKA Flipper likes complicated workouts

YHC doesn’t post centurion often enough.  That fact was abundantly clear when I knew less than 35% of the names circling up at 0529 at CHS this AM.  A great AO with HUGE growth in recent history, clearly there is a need for diversification  in my posting habits.  Nonetheless YHC had a plan in play and a whole bunch of PAX who had no clue what evil plan they were in for.

THE THANG:

Divided into 4 even(ish) groups… bad instruction point #1… more on that later

Demonstrate staggard Ball-Over Merkin Line (slam ball merkins alternating hands and pass diagonal to the next PAX) w/ 40 lbs. ball

Demonstrate Chest Pass Burpee drill with 20 Lbs. Ball

Mosey west up little Ave to the first cross street, out to 51 and back down to the parking garage via CHS entrance.  Give instructions for plate carry lunge walk CMIYC and realize YHC left the sandbags in the car.

Provide instructions for carrying sandbags up and down stairs (60 lbs.) while balance of group sits in boat (not the best design addmittedly.)

Run east to Walsh, turn the corner at Little and return to launch point.  Groups 2 &4 head to Garage for plates and bags (carrying forgotten bags in the process).  In order each group completed exercise and then ran Walsh to little to launch or from launch up and little and around to garage.  Each group did each station 1X with some nominal confusion.

Sweaty mary back at Launch (thanks Chelms for Substi-Q)

Out

MOLESKIN:

YHC likes to make things harder than they need to be.  Its obvious, in an attempt to avoid boring or derivative weinkes, I tend towards the complicated.  Probably need to get better at providing instruction to grumpy PAX at 0530… moving on…

Centurion really has a lot going for it and the PAX here are STRONG.  The fact we had 5 respects who doggedly kept after a pretty gnarly work out is huge commentary to the grit of this crew.

28 is a lot of Pax to try and create a workout for.  Trying to get timing down for 4 large groups rotating through stations with sufficient gear to boot doubles the challenge, thanks for that men.  I had a lot of fun cooking this one up, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.  And yes my legs are already sore from the lunge walks.

Well done flipper. The 4 groups worked well to slim down the large group. I got in a 5k in total

I’m still confused as to what we were supposed to do but I did get a good workout in so everything is good. While our last few weeks have been lower on mileage, we regularly hit 3+ miles so the running part was not that hard. The toys you brought did add a nice twist to our normal workout.

Complexity gets exponentially harder as PAX size increases. Plus you asked us to handle sweaty balls, which had most of us concerned.

Solid beating. 1st F3 workout in a week after being DR. Feeling that one. Those balls were quite sweaty.
