Category: Cruel Hall

28 PAX beat out the early morning desire to fartsack and posted for a cool and humid morning at Cruel Hall with the fog rolling out of the holler and steam rising off of the necks of the PAX.

QIC: Skid Mark

PAX: Yardsale, CCR, Edible Arrangements, Bagger Vance, Prevac, Frugal McDoogal, Numtucks, Ludwig van Oshkosh, Off Shore, Floppy Disk, Lumberg, Reefer, Igloo (FNG), Olan Mills, Barf-ista (FNG), Venus, Dupree, Yumi, Calf-Killer, Capslock, Donuts, PSL, Backlash, Change order, Hollow-back-girl, Tampa Libra, Dine-n-Dash

We started with a quick mosey to the back of the school.  Circle up for WOR.

WOR:  SSH x25, LBAC 25 forwards, 25 backwards, Keep arms up for lunging calf stretch x8 each. Drop arms for willie mays x10 ct.

Mosey to the playground and partner up for…

Thang:

Dora 1, 2, 3…4: 100 Pull ups, 200 Merkins, 300 Squats, 400 4ct Flutter kicks; laps around the baseball field.

We put in about 2 miles of running. Significant mumblechatter erupted about “1600” flutter kicks, but he PAX pushed on.  Eventually, we started to run out of time and YHC called for 1 more minute of flutters before we moved on to the next exercise.

The Hang Off:

The 1s hung from the swing set, monkey bars, or other pull up bar for as long as possible in a battle of forearm strength. Meanwhile the 2s were holding low plank. Flapjack for a second set. Each competition was fierce as Floppy just narrowly beat out Olan Mills for the 1s, and Prevac beat out Donuts for the 2s.  Both Floppy and Prevac were holding on to the small poles of the monkey/pull-up bars rather than the big rod of the swing set which was probably an unfair advantage….due to it’s familiarity.

Back to the parking lot for…

Mary: Circle up in high plank for 2 minutes of Merkins to “Up Down” by Morgan Wallen (ft. Florida Georgia line).

Thanks to everybody for giving me the opportunity to lead again this week. SYITG.

Disclaimer given at 05:29 and we started off on a quick mosey around the bus loop. Lunge walks between first 2 speed bumps, then bear crawl the second set, then shuffle steps to the last speed bump. Finally we circled up for…

WOR: SSH x30, Windmills x15, LBAC forwards and reverse x15, Overhead claps x15, Willie Mays x10

THANG:

PAX counted off by 4s and mosey’d down to the playground. Brother-at-law seemed to have an issue with short term memory loss as he held 4 fingers up during the <20 second trip from the parking lot to the playground to remember his number. Once at the playground, we separated into our 4 groups for a rotating AMRAP workout as follows:

Group 1: Row Station (at the hand rails)
Group 2: Merkin Station (at the swingsets)
Group 3: Leg Station (at the playground)
Group 4: Core Station (on the path between hand rails and playground)

PAX proceeded to perform exercises specific to each station AMRAP in 1 minute with 20s rest between sets. Rotating to the next station after completing each set. Following the completion of each round of 4 exercises we took a lap around the baseball fields.

Round 1: Rows, merkins, squats, WWIs
Round 2: Commando rows, diamond merkins, lunges, flutter kicks
Round 3: Typewriter rows, carolina dry docks, Lt. Dans, V-ups
Rapid fire Round 4 (30 seconds AMRAP with 10s rest): Reverse grip rows, Typewriter merkins, monkey humpers, LBCs

Following the last round, we mosey'd to the parking lot for some…

Big Stick Q was originally on the menu, but he phoned in a favor last night so YHC picked up the reigns. We commenced with the obligatory bus hill warmup mosey discussing 20 year reunions and Canada. Circle up in the parking lot for some COP.

A healthy 31 posted at CH this morning. Temperature was a pleasant 68 degrees with 100% mug in the air. Together we performed the only burpees of the day at the strike of 5:30.. 2 burpees OYO. Warmup mosey included the bus loop and picking up Black Lung who, true to form, was strolling in late. He tucked in, we hit the hill, then convened in the parking lot to get warmed up.
