Tag-Team Takedown @ TheForge

11 PAX in Attendance:  Sterno, Typo+, Nimbus 1500, Kermit, MuRSA, Altidore, Stats, Barney Fievel, Gaylord Focker, Creeper & 3D (co-Qs)

I couldn’t convince Typo+ to join me sitting in his warm, dry, running car @ 5:45 for a pre-party with YHC doing 10 Slurpees (Sloppy, wet burpees) on the minute for 10 minutes, so I did them solo in his sideview mirror and Creeper in classic Creeper-fashion joined at about round 4 and completed the party. Much better than a solo post. Thanks Bruthurrrrr!

BG Music provided by Rush, Queen and Ozzy on my jambox under the dry hatchback of my car. Good times. Barney got in a round or two also.

6am, let’s do this!

HulkMania took over to warm us up and take the first 1/2 of the Q.

  • Jog around parking lot x 1 (then circle up)
  • SSH IC x 20
  • LBACs Forward IC x 20
  • LBACs Reverse IC x 20
  • GM OYO
  • WMH OYO

The Thang(s) 

Tag-Team Routine: Mosey to the parking lot and partner-up for bear-crawl 3 parking spaces, 10 tag-team merkins, crawl-bear back. Then lunge walk, 10 Bro-burpees (high-ten at jump) lunge-walk back. R&R x 3.

Then mosey to the Middle-school for…

Battle Royale!

We split into 4 groups in 4 corners. 7:14:21:28 reps of Burpees, IC 4 count flutter-kicks, Merkins and then squats at the different corners in respective rep numbers. Complete reps and progress as teams. Different MOTs included lunge-walk, duck-walk, bear-crawl, huffy-bike, etc. Then go back down from 28:7.

That was 1/2 of the match then Creeper tagged me and Q was passed to 3D as the Ultimate Warrior:

YHC had noticed while huffy-biking around the lot that there was an unlocked section of fence and drainage overflow aka pond right next door…

Cage Match:

Pax were led to the cage and told to lunge walk through the pond to the other side. Water was up to our knees and ice-cold. Super-fun. Altidore was having so much fun that he dove into the water and came up spluttering a few extra Fs and was so excited and thankful for Q’s leadership that he wanted to tackle someone. At the other end we grabbed the cage on our 6s and did 25 IC 4 count toes to cage.

Then…

We couldn’t let Altidore have all the fun so Pax were led to bear-crawl the pond. Sterno was in his element: 

Then there was a flash-sale of hill crawl-bears. So we did x 4. Buy 3 get 1 free.

Mosey back toward parking lot but speed-bump of Bus Burpees. 5 Burpees on one end of the bus, squatting side step or karaoke to other side for 5 WWIs. R&R for 15 total of each exercise.

Mosey to the tennis courts and grab some bench for DADsDips, Angle-Grinders, Derkins and Supermen. We did sets of 3:6:9.

Then we went to the parking lot and did 5 AYG sprints pole to pole.

Lastly, since it’s kinda my thing, we went to ford the creek and… Bear crawl and Crawl-Bear the short bridge
