35 degrees. In early March? What happened to the balmy 60 degree days of February?
14 men showed up to start the workout this morning. Joker and Floor Slapper showed up around 5:45 claiming something about how the “pre-run” went too long. My guess is Joker suckered Floor Slapper into some off the books partner exercises.
If it wasn’t quite obvious I made this up on the fly. I thought about the Hairburners, but the rest was up for grabs.
Mosey around Church and end up in the new circle between a couple of the lower school buildings for COP.
SSH, CDD, IW, Rotating Merkins, Maybe something else.
Partner up.
P1 runs to steps and back while P2 does exercise – 2 rounds, per partner, per exercise. We did squat jumps, single leg squats, and dips on the bench.
Mosey over to parking lot and each team grab a plate. A perfect 8 teams for 8 plates.
P1 – Hairburner to other set of parking spots and back. P2 Merkins. Flapjack and repeat to 100 merkins.
Do that again except 150 Monkey Humpers – that combo was awful.
P1 Grip walk to sidewalk, switch hands and come back (grip walk = grab plate one handed by the edge, not the middle hole). P2 – Squats. Flapjack for 2 rounds.
Do that again except flutters.
Now Hgirburner CMIYC – 10 merkins and chase. Hairburner up to the road.
Now Grip walk CMIYC to cars – 3 burpees and chase.
7 minutes left – circle up in field for mary. One at a time get up and hit pull up bars for 10 pull-ups to cover off on challenge requirement. We sort of did, Flutters, Dolly, LBC, Bicycle, Russian Twist, CCV, Protractor, but mostly just laid back and chatted like 5th grade girls. #FunFriday
Moleskine:
Right off the bat Horsehead is all worried I am doing the Merkin/Pull-up challenge and that would be what the workout was all about. Well, I am not, and wasn’t planning on it. But its never hard to knock out 150 merkins and 10 pull-ups at a bootcamp. So we got close to it.
Lex Luthor came in at 5:30 on two wheels, then proceeded to take his sweet old time getting the ruck out of the car and installing it. He caught up. But I made him do CDD in COP as punishment. Everyone knows CDD’s with a ruck on is awesome. I mean, if you like getting hit in the back of the head with a back pack full of bricks.
Bulldog was impressed with the Q’s spin moves during COP. Challenged him to do so during Merkins. It was pretty.
Lots of ninja rolls over the Hairburners today. Sorry fellas, the smooth parts of that pavement are nice and smooth, but that tar strips gums up the plate pretty quick. Glad no major injuries.
I recall many moons ago Alf and I would run through our hood and he would tell me about this F3 thing. This one exercise that involved pushing a weight-lifting plate across a parking lot or through a parking deck fascinated me; seemed awkward, loud, painful, ripe with injury. And today, much like every other time the term “hairburner” was uttered by the Q, I was fully vindicated in my assessment. Solid workout today.
