Simple Instructions

AO: iron-giant
Q: hambone
PAX: Mr. Pancake, Dilbert, hambone
FNGs: None
COUNT: 3
CONDITIONS: 36 and raining

WARMUP: Simple .2 mile job

THE THANG:

(NOTE: all sandbags were 60, 70, or 80 lbs. Sandbag rotation command in effect)

1, 2, 3, …, 13 of:
Merkins
Sandbag Deadlifts
Sandbag Squats

1, 2, 3, …, 10 of:
Dips
Squats

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 of:
Sandbag lunges
Sandbag pulls
Hangs

Head back to the end for:

45lb plate drivers
45lb overhead hold

MOLESKINE:

1. Harder than YHC thought; workout was meant to be relatively easy. First round was supposed to go to 15, but I happily modified.
2. Dilbert uttered “I want to go back to bed” (paraphrased) during the 6th set of sandbag pulls. That’s the closest I’ve seen a man leave a workout and literally go back to bed since Poppa Lock did it at bomber.
3. Mr. Pancake showed no quit, but perhaps some regret.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: noneya

COT: Prayers for Station Camp (location may be wrong) girl paralyzed and trampoline park. Life changing, and not in an easy way.

Secret Q School

AO: the-castle
Q: hambone
PAX: Mr. Pancake, Strutter, Steely, Space Baby, Brown Slip, hambone, Brad!
FNGs: 1 Brad!
COUNT: 7
CONDITIONS: Not cold enough for gloves

WARMUP: A little bit of mosey, a little bit of merkins, a little bit of squats.

THE THANG: Head to the tennis courts–bear crawls, lunges, backwards running, side shuffle, more bear crawls

Run to playground and do a pull up

Get sandbags out of car, line up behind Q, and do pulls at 80lbs and 60lbs.

MOLESKINE:

1. Strutter rejected the tombstone. Good metaphor.
2. Brown Slip being back after being sick was fantastic. He might be the next bear crawl champion.
3. Mr. Pancake tricked his friend Brad into coming all the way up from Lebanon (not the country).
4. Space Baby was not much challenged by the running, but the sandbags were hard (ok I made that up–those weren’t hard for him either).
5. Steely missed the pre-run, but we had a great conversation about diesel engines at coffee.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

You missed grow school by coming to this workout

THE THANG:
Mosey to the High School Football Field(0.40mile)
Partner up and grab a coupon for each team. All PAX lined the sideline in their teams.
While one team member conducted the exercise the other ran sideline to sideline and the entire PAX waited in the squat or plank position until everyone returned.
First exercise curls, second exercise squats, third exercise overhead press; all with coupon. Then the coupon was carried by the runner, first front rack carry, second shoulder carry switching shoulders at the other side and third overhead carry; all while the partner did Merikans, WWIs and Burpees.
Next we conducted a sprinted race to the other sideline and back. The PAX was tricked with saying the last person had to do ten burpees but we all did the burpees together. 40 flutter kicks and a Lap around the track. Started over the exercise with the first three exercises.
Mosied back to the park, finished with some hangs and dips.

MOLESKINE: Burpees suck after a sprint!
