Date: 2023-09-11 AO: firestarter Q: das_boot PAX: das_boot, kirby, Point Break, C3P0, Franky FNGs: None COUNT: 5 5 PAX began their day with a discussion that the proper name of the AO location is Jeni’s Ice Creams which is something you only care about when you charge $7 for a scoop of frozen dairy dessert. Then we headed out to work.
WARMUP: Mosey near the yoga studio only to be pushed to a different part of the lot when someone wanted to park right where we were even though the lot was completely empty.
– 11x SSH – 11x plank jacks – stretches – 11x low slow squats
THE THANG:
Go up the stairs, one by one, run to the far side for 9 merkins, down the stairs, 11 supines. Do that 3x total. On the fourth go, only go up to the step marked “Here.”
Head to the back of Target for deconstructed burpees at each of the 11 light poles:
– 10x hand release merkins – 10x groiners – 10x Bobby Hurleys
Head to the section across from the former New York & Co for
– 50x step ups – run to the other store for 22x big boys Repeato
-another 22x big boys
Back to the steps for 10 together and then 13 big boys together
Back to COT for about 23 burpees total and then 37 seconds of hollow man hold.
MOLESKINE:
The workout was planned to remember this day 22 years ago that, as Kirby said, feels like yesterday.
We did 110 steps by the yoga palace, 110 deconstructed burpees and 110 steps later to remember the flights of stairs in the Twin Towers.
We did 343 total big boys representing the number of fallen FDNY, 23 to represent the fallen NYPD and the 43 for the fallen Port Authority personnel.
For each of these last exercises and the final steps, the idea was to finish together because we’re stronger together. Especially these women and men of the FDNY, NYPD AND Port Authority were living 3rd that day and thousands of families would love it if their loved ones were out in the gloom this foggy, humid morning. Go out and make something of the day you have, and make it better for someone else.
COT: SOB Ultra and Kirby with the string take out.
