The Rebel Yella

The Rebel Yella

The Rebel Yell was a battle cry used by Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. Confederate soldiers used the yell during charges to intimidate the enemy and boost their own morale, although the yell had many other uses.

We are not an intimidating group of men, so here is what we did instead:

18 PAX for this week’s episode of Rebel Yell, logging 3.01 miles and a few other exercises…

#Disclaimer

Yes.

#Conditions

High 40°’s with a tropical breeze (compared to 11°)

#WarmUp

Mosey to the HT parking lot, circle up and run through the following exercises IC:

1. SSH x 21
2. Cherry Pickers x 10
3. Diamond merks x 10
4. Regular merks x 10
5. Wide Arm merks x 10
6. Low Slow Squats x 10

#TheThang

Location #1: HT Parking Lot (same as warm-up)

Parking line suicide:

1. Line up abreast staring down at 9 parking lines ahead
2. Touch each line in a traditional suicide race (Doc obviously wins, but only logged 2.97 miles, interesting)
3. 5 HR merkins + 5 two-hand slap jump squats each time you reach the starting line
4. Google Earth’s ruler tool tells me this is a 1-mile run (felt a lot longer so we cut it short at the 15 minute mark)

Wait for the six, 2 sets of:  Bear crawl to Line #1, lunge walk back to the start

Location #2: Fountain

Grab a partner – P1 runs the full lap (approx. 70-80 seconds each Round) around both buildings, while P2 gets AMRAP of the following exercises, flapjack each round:

• Round 1:  Box jumps (or step ups)
• Round 2:  Dips
• Round 3:  Agility Stairs (or toe taps)
• Round 4:  Chair squats, arms above head

Plank up and roll right into 10 x 6-count incline merkins (Freyley’s was the only one to do these correctly, surprising I know – but i think they should have been 8-counts) – turn around 10 reps of 6-count decline merks.

10 minutes remaining:  Run through the 4 rounds above, but with a half lap around the 1st building.

Quick plank rotation and a jailbreak back to home-base for 10 merkins and 10 squats OYO.

Time is called a few seconds late and its a wrap.

Overall, we logged a few steps over 3 miles.

There was a lot of complaining about this so-called 10 minute hairburner at the Maul thanks to MT. But that quickly was muted and we went to work – really good work by everyone and glad to see Yogi from SC make regular appearances on his work trips. The Teddy and Mary-Kay duo are back on track after a battle with the swine flu. Glad to meet Brisket today – part of the meat and three, and a fellow Park Crossing resident. No Show finally showed to a workout after a holiday hiatus. War Eagle was extra smiley, Roll Tide – get ready for his VQ at Bagpipe on Tuesday (1/30).    Olaf thawed out from his 11° FNG post and put in some strong work, glad to have you out there my man.

Billy Goat on Q next week!
