Gloves Sure Would Have Been Nice

As usual, I forget to confirm the Q for today until late yesterday. I had a fellow Pax marked down but he hadn’t posted all summer so I had some doubt he knew he was on the schedule. He just got done with the BRR, so fartsacking was on the agenda for all our BRR brothers. I tried to brainstorm last night, but my brain was too focused on grilling at the pool. We moseyed around the back parking lot and circled up.

COP:
20 x SSH
20 x IW
15 x Merkin

Head over to the block pile and grab a cinder block per person. Partner up and line up along the grass next to the parking lot.

Exercise 1: Death Crawl
Place the blocks on the starting line. Assume a push up position with your hands on the middle beam of the block. While holding that position, Partner 1 crawls with the blocks while Partner 2 runs a lap around the parking lot. Flapjack. Two rounds each.

Exercise 2: Death Crawl From Hell
Same concept, but now your crawl is going to go Right-Left-Push Up; Left-Right-Push Up while Partner runs lap. Flapjack. Two rounds each.

Exercise 3: Death Crawl So Bad It Was Banned From Hell
This is exactly the same as the last two, but worse. Right-Left-Row Right-Row Left-Push Up; Left-Right-Row Left-Row Right-Push Up while Partner runs. Flapjack. Two rounds each.

Grab your block and line up abreast next to parking lot facing the long end of the field. Partner 1 performs shoulder press, Partner 2 runs to opposite end of the field. Flapjack until you hit 200. Then, Partner 1 performs curls, Partner 2 runs to opposite end of the field. Flapjack until you hit 200.

Put blocks back and mosey to launch point.

10 x V-ups, again

Moleskin:
Sorry for not being very inventive, but I hope it was a worthwhile workout. Only a few of the guys were there last month when I did this, but I did forget to preblast that everyone needed gloves. I was trying my best to slow down Lobsta Roll, but it didn’t work. From now on Lobsta, Orange Whip and McGee are not allowed to partner up with block work. I think they all did 200 of the curls and presses by themselves. Or they cheated. I apologized to Huggie for repeating a workout, but he told me he was going to get me back next time. That doesn’t sound good. And I think McGee fell asleep during the crawl because he was so bored. And Joker has the death crawl mastered so he just did presses the whole time. I think he is concerned his shoulders are not as developed as Squid’s.

Thanks for the takeout Chin Music.

I’m too old for death crawls. I’m officially adding it to the list of things I no longer do… death crawls, partner carries, balls-to-the-wall, Turkish Get Ups, hand circles, and Sister Mary Catherines.

burpees used to be on my exclusion list, but I’m now willing to do them in moderation. as for the tunnel of love… that should be a no-brainer, not even requiring mention on the list… it takes 2nd F to a dark place…
