Long Warmup for an Explosive Workout

AO: pain-train
Q: Siri
PAX: Stubs, Wolfpack, Cheeks, G-string
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
CONDITIONS:
Chilly, but refreshing once we started moving.

WARMUP:
We took our time warming up with some extended stretching, merkin snacks, moseying, and dynamic warmups for our legs (butt kickers, high knees, etc)

THE THANG:
We grabbed 4 cinder blocks and headed to the front doors of the church for our beatdown.

Two teams. One person from each team does Farmers Carry around the perimeter of the parking lot. Everyone else does a designated number of reps of an exercise. When the six is in, the person doing the farmers carry stops and their teammates sprint to where they stopped. New exercise/rep count called out and new person does the farmers carry. Get around the parking lot as fast as possible.
10 big boy sit-ups
20 Sit throughs (each side is half)
30 4-count J-Los
40 Mountain climbers (each side is half)
50 monkey humpers

When the person doing the farmers carry crosses the finish line, their teammates must still finish all their reps. First team to get all their teammates across the finish line wins.

MOLESKINE:
An extended Farmers carry is significantly more difficult than I anticipated. There was a moment where my vision started darkening, and I definitely had a light flavor of blood in my mouth by the end. The whole workout took about 15 minutes tops, even with two laps around the church, but that was all it took to wipe me out.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Butterball Crawl family 5k and 1 mile fun run on T’Giving Day. Also a workout at The Knoll will occur that day.

COT:
Prayers for everyone’s holiday coming up.
