14x SSH
15x BAC front and back
??? Butt kickers? It was early….
15x Seal claps
10x Squats
THANG:
10 Muktar and Cry’s in cadence – Start in High Plank, down to Low Plank, JLo, up to High Plank and one Merkin (1 rep).
Quick mosey to open area next to tennis courts.
PAX paired off. While one HIM was in high plank, the other did 5 Merkins, then jumps over teammate, then crawls back underneath him. Repeat 20x per PAX, flapjack as necessary. Deceptively difficult. Sufficiently awkward for a Pop-A-Lock Q. With odd numbers, Q completed with an invisible partner, eliciting chuckles and mumblechatter from PAX.
Counted to 10. PAX nervous of a rinse and repeat.
Mosey around the tennis courts. Diverted onto tennis courts, to the relief of the PAX.
Round 1: Crabwalk suicides to ¼, ½, ¾ and full court. Face one direction the whole time. Every time the start point is reached, do 40 1 count flutters.
Triceps burned out.
Count to 20.
Round 2: Ankle grabber (duck walk holding ankles) suicides in same pattern. 20 ab thrusters when baseline is reached.
Quads screaming.
Count to 30.
Mosey to back of hill with flagpole, PAX (and the overly enthusiastic Q) rejoicing there was no rinse and repeat.
Round 1: Bear crawl to flagpole, 20 derkins at top. Bear crawl back, 20 squats at bottom.
Round 2: Crawl bear to flagpole, 20 derkins at top. Crawl bear back, 20 squats at bottom.
Triceps and shoulders completely burned out at this point.
Rounds 3: Back pedal up hill, 20 derkins at top. Sprint back, 20 squats at bottom.
Mosey to hill above playground.
PAX 1 PlankJacks while PAX 2 runs to pull up bars and completes 5 reps. Runs back to top of hill and flapjacks. Repeat 3x for each PAX.
Mosey to parking lot.
