The Buffalo – 6/21/19

Better late than never…..

A rousing Friday morning at The Buffalo is the best way to start off the weekend.  And this running of The Buffalo was no different.  Here is how things went down.

PAX: Hot Route; Small Things; Locusts and Honey; Dial Up; Hipster; and Brother at Law (QIC)

WOR: Jog around the block.  Get some good stretching in.  SPECIAL: Today was international yoga day.  So we did some downward facing dog and warrior flows to set the mood.  It was real nice.

THANG: Mosey down to the Pavilion for some bench work.  20 seconds on, 10 seconds off: Bulgarian Split Squat; Reverse that; dip; box jump.  Rinse and Repeat for four total super sets.

Mosey to the big hill.  Partner off.  P1 runs the hill up and back while P2 does some absolution plank work at the bottom: high plank, thruster (in), thruster out); one elbow down; second elbow down; plank jack; recover.  8 count.  Each partner runs the hill four times.

Mosey up to tennis courts for some Deck of Death.  Hearts are burpees; diamonds are mt. climbers; clubs are squats; spades are suicides (each leg of a suicide counts as one).  There was a wildly disproportionate number of spades drawn in the 12 or so minutes that we did this.  Lots and lots of suicide sprints.  Sorry!

Mosey to parking lot for the first performance of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m Going Down”.  Everybody loved it and hated it all at once.  That’ll make another appearance for sure.

Little bit of Mary for good measure and we called it a day.

Prayers were offered up.  Announcements were made.  Hipster had the coffee.  It was a joy.  Thanks as always for turning out.
