15 laced up their Reebok pumps on a cold, snowy morning to commemorate the beginning of March Madness. YHC has also been MIA at Detention over the last few months due to coaching basketball, so it was good to be back and honored to lead the charge.
PAX: Frugal Macdoogal (QIC), Pop-A-Lock, Accounts Receivable, Skid Mark, CAPSLOCK, Ludwig, CCR, PSL, Bro@Law, Dr. Smartt, Braveheart, Barely Legal, Black Widow, Vegemite, Harvey Updike
WOR:
Quick mosey around the parking lot
SSH x 8, Squat x 8, GM x 8, WMH x 8
Nothing says basketball fun like defensive slides, so to finish getting warmed up, we got in a defensive stance and did slides from line to line for one minute.
THANG:
We partnered up and grabbed a coupon per group and headed to the swings.
Round One: Partner One worked his rebounding skills by jumping up as high as he could at the swings while Partner Two ran to the building and back with the coupon. Rinse and repeat until each person did 64 reps of jumps.
Round Two: Partner One did step ups x 32 while Partner Two did jump and slides. You would jump two times forward, slide to the right two steps, slide to the left four steps, then back to the right two steps (no criss cross or everybody clap your hands), and then rinse and repeat until partner finished step ups.
Sweet Sixteen: Partner One did 16 burpees while Partner Two did up downs. Partner Two would shuffle feet and then do the up down every time their Partner went to the ground. Switch and repeat.
Elite Eight: This turned in to 10s instead of 8s…we’re overachievers. On one end of the pavilion you would do 2 Makhtar Merkins, defensive slides to the other end, 8 Get Up Squats (Squat, lunge down to one knee, both knees, then get back up), defensive slides back. Rinse and repeat by two until 8 Makhtar Merkins and 2 Get Up Squats.
Final Four: Partner One grabs a coupon and pushes weight out (as if holding steering wheel) four times then presses weight above head four times. Partner Two runs suicide. Switch and repeat and then rinse and repeat.
64: 64 Mountain Climbers
32: 32 Dips
16: 16 Pull Ups
8: 8 High Jumps
4: 4 Long Jumps
2: Run 2 Suicides
Return coupons and head back to the parking lot to partake in the final (championship if you will…) exercise, from henceforth named Lil Penny.
YHC played Barry White’s Space Jam version of “Basketball Jones” while PAX shuffled feet in squat position (or pulse squatted). Every time the word “basketball” was said, PAX would jump. For those who haven’t had the pleasure of listening to the song, it’s about 85 times in 5 minutes.
To make sure we wouldn’t forget our basketball stances, we finished with another minute of defensive slides.
Good work today, fellas!
Go Lipscomb and Go Vols…
