III Pillars – 07.11.23 – “Big Gulps, huh?

9 PAX including one WL got a taste of Slurpees and Big Gulps during a 7-Eleven-themed workout.

QIC: Princess Aurora

PAX: Batter, Formica, Go Fish, Grape, Harbaugh, Pep, T-Cell, ’88 (WL-Gold Rush)

THE THANG:

Brief disclaimer and quick mosey to field per usual for a nice little warmup consisting of:

  • SSH
  • LBAC F/R
  • Moroccan Night Clubs
  • WMH
  • SnL Squats

Having just returned from a trip to South Dakota, YHC noted the toughness one would’ve required to settle that land and wanted to honor that with a quick but oh-so-painful routine. In Jack Webb style (1:2 ratio), PAX performed one squat followed by two Iron Mikes (1 ea leg). We took the count up to 5 and worked our way back down. This was most definitely a crowdpleaser and will be used again.

Mosey over to the jungle gym for Part 1 of the two-part 7-Eleven Series:

Standing 11s – Slurpee (burpee with star jump)/Pull-ups. No mosey in between, just rest as needed.

For Part 2, PAX moseyed back to midfield for a circuit we called the B.I.G. G.U.L.P. PAX worked through 32 oz reps of each exercise:

  • Boxcutters
  • Imperial Squat Walkers
  • Groiners
  • Gorilla Humpers
  • Undertakers (sit-up with legs flat and apart, like the wrestler’s famous reanimation)
  • Leg Raises
  • Peter Parkers

Mosey back to flag with enough time for a brief cool down of butterfly and glute stretches and some good mornings.

MOLESKINE:

Glad to have ’88 in from Sacramento. We’re in the thick of sweating season, so it was good to show the Cali boy some humidity.
