Still adjusting to being able to see everyone’s face at the beginning of the workout.

Dislclamer along with explanation that today is going to be a reproduction of my first ever post where I was quite certain afterwards that I would not make it to work that day.

Get things going with an Indian Run up Maryland Way to Franklin Rd and around the corner to Del Frisco’s parking lot. Friendly narration along the way reliving my inner dialog from that initial post.

Thang:

Our obstacle: Stairs between garage and Holler and Dash.

Start with 5 merkins and 20 squats. Make your way to the top of the stairs stopping at each break in the steps for 5 merkins. At the top, 5 more merkins and 19 squats. Turn around making your way back down with the same merkin stops along the way. Rinse and repeat down to 1 squat.

For anyone that’s counting, that’s about 210 squats and 405 merkins.

Mosey back to the the parking lot.

PAX:
Bagger Vance, Vegemite, Deep Dish, Red Writer (in from Knoxville), Crawfish

 

Warmup:
Circle up for:

• SSH x10 IC
• Baby Arm Circles (Both Ways) x10 I
• Air Presses x10IC
• Good Mornings x10 IC
• Willie Mays x10 IC
• Fast Merkins x10 IC (Pop-A-Lock receives marital advice on cadence)

THANG:

PAX begin Indian Run, with a catch. Man in the back must dribble the ball to the front of the line before passing it back.

Toured Fort Negley, stopping to appreciate history, and by admiring history, I mean at every sign or plaque or monument the PAX stopped running.

Commence 10xPushups, 10xSquats, continue to next sign/monument. Did about 15-20 signs, exercises switching between all types of merkins and squats with some abs thrown in. Lots of mumble chatter when burpees were chosen by the Q. One sign was reached via lunges.

At the top of the hill, PAX circle up in high plank. The soccer ball is passed between the circle members, with a merkin after passing the ball. Penalty for missing a pass is bear crawling after it. PAL and BV missed it. Once.

Bear crawled down a wooden sidewalk to the triangles of death. And by triangles of death I mean:

Triangle 1: Bear crawl around

Triangle 2: Crab crawl around, stopping for 10xMerkins 10xSquats at sign.

Triangle 3: Reverse crab crawl around, stopping for 10xMerkins, 10x Squats at sign.

Indian run to to hill near the gate.

Hillevens:

Donkey kicks at bottom, Lieutenant Dans at top.

Must get to the top of the hill in reverse 3 times (it was a big hill).

Shoutout to BV for finishing the whole set before time.

Returned to parking lot for Ball of Man.

First Friday Lunch at Cookery next week.

Q: Ludwig Van OshKosh

PAX: CAPSLOCK, PSL, Floppy Disk, Umbrella, Offshore, Accounts Receivable, Cathy, Venus, Olan Mills, Ludwig

Upper 40s greeted the 10 PAX who made the correct decision to post at Cruel Hall. We postulated that the lower turnout was due to the marathon.

Moseyed down to the bottom of the bus loop for WOR.

20 SSH
10 WMH
10 Good Mornings
10 Air Presses
10 BAC
10 rBAC
10 S’nL squats — Venus and Cathy apparently didn’t hear the S’nL part

Thang

At bottom of bus loop, perform 10 burpees, backpedal up the hill, perform 10 WW1s at the top, run to corner/4-way stop to perform 10 jump squats. Run back down to start of bus loop. We did 4 laps on the loop, and on each lap the reps increase in increments of 5. So, for lap 4 that’s 25 burpees, WW1s and jump squats. It was unanimously agreed that the backpedal following the burpees put the quads on fire.

Moseyed behind the school (we can do that now!) to the rails for a row/merkin pyramid.

Perform 1 row, then 1 merkin, 2 rows, 2 merkins, etc. all the way up to 11, and then all the way back down to 1.

Head back to the parking lot for a Ludwig favorite, the bear crawl/crawl bear suicide.

Mary
30 flutter kicks
30 Mariahs
30 AST
10 Burpees oyo
10 Good Mornings

Shuffle and deal amongst the PAX. Broke the routine into thirds with mosey breaks.

Ran back to start, paid 10 squat exit price

Cot, BoM.

Bullhorn: The weather is warm, so the list of excuses is growing short for the fartsackers and sad clowns who haven’t been posting. EH your brothers, show some discipline, and spill some sweat. See you fellas out there.

10 Pax showed up this morning to high 50’s temps and plenty of fun in store. I’m not one to be creative enough for themed workouts, but since today is YHC’s 39th b’day, I thought we would work with the numbers 3 and 9. Everyone is ready, off to the parking lot at the Hill Center.

SSH x 39

GM x 9

WMH x 9

Imperial Walkers x 9

Head inside the parking garage and running up the ramps. 3 stops along the way for 3 different exercises x 9 reps each (merkins, DEEP squats, lunges).

We reach the last ramp leading to the top of the parking deck, and instructions were given that we would be enjoying 9’s today. WW1’s at the bottom of the ramp, back peddle up the ramp to the top, Burpees at the top, forward run back to the bottom of the ramp.

All in and we head over to the flat area of the top of the parking deck and line up against the wall. Next is 3 sets of sprints across the deck with 9 hand release merkins between each sprint.

Head down the stairs of the parking garage to the sidewalk next to Holler & Dash for some DID’s. Dips x 20, Irkins x 10, & Derkins x 9. 3 sets of these.

Mosey back towards the racetrack for a quick stop at the monkey bars. 9 pull ups followed by 9 rows x 3 sets.

One last mosey back to the parking lot for some Mary. WW1’s x 39, LBC’s x 39, & Plank Progression for last 1:30.

It was great to be out there with you guys this morning. Thank you for the opportunity to lead.
