My neck, my back…my neck and my back!

So YHC had the bright idea to Q several workouts in a short timeline before a planned IR spell. Seemed great on paper, right. Note to self…make sure you’re in proper shape before trying to keep up with the bat flippers.

This morning I woke up with an unfortunate crick in my neck that was just a pain…in my neck. And my back too. Guess this getting old thing is real. Only answer is to keep pushing the rock as much as possible. With that said, let’s do this.

The PAX was waiting on my and although not late I cut it close once again. No worries, all is ready.

No FNGs. No disclaimer. No warmup. Let’s mosey!

We didn’t get far around the corner before YHC noticed the library which seemed to have a better parking lot than that God forsaken piece of asphalt at the middle school.

It’s time for 11’s! On one side Dips, mosey to the other side for WW1 Sit Ups (I think). Bear crawl back to the other side and repeato until the numbers are swapped.

Mosey down the dark street to Main Street. We found a flag and paused for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Route 66 is next up. We did Bobby Hurley’s at each place a car could enter. To get to the sufficient number of reps in we had to cross the railroad tracks into uncharted territory headed north. Apparently this are a of Mount Holly carries a pretty significant amount of traffic at 5:45 on a Monday and the intersection, while provided with crossing signals, is pretty hairy. We practiced safety first this time and all made it across in one piece. YHC made sure of this by calling for a count off after we stopped (this was the first count off, Q fail).

Mosey around the back of the big church to the parking lot in front of the garden. Here we did Four Corners Escalator.

  • Corner 1 – 10 Merkins
  • Corner 2 – 10 Merkins + 20 Squats
  • Corner 3 – 10 Merkins + 20 Squats + 30 Flutterkicks
  • Corner 4 – 10 Merkins + 20 Squats + 30 Flutterkicks + 40 Mountain Climbers

We did two rounds of this and then took time for a photo opp in front of the beautiful painting of the sun beside the garden. Gotta stop and smell the roses sometimes fellas.

Mosey back through traffic to the elementary school for a wrap up of some Mary. I think we got in 4 different choices by the PAX before we had to get back to the middle school. Time

Plenty of prayer requests that may be obsolete by now. The Lord knows our needs and he is good to provide.

Same for announcements. Many of the same, lots of running coming up and the convergence on the 21st.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead men. Keep pushing that rock!

South St Run

The Forest Gump Tweet from the night before didn’t scare all the Hims away

Warm up: SSH x 20 , Moroccan  nightclubs x 15, Merkins x 10, & 5 burpees

Pledge

Mosey down South St all the way to Garrison Blvd.

On the way down we stopped at every Stop sign or Stop light -1st light 5 burpees (every other light after), 2nd light 10 merkins (every other light)

On the way back we stopped in the same fashion but changed the exercise to LBCs and Jump sqauts

Stop and McQuitter wall for 2 rounds of 10 dips in cadence follow by 5 burpees

Mosey on over to the parking deck and partner up for some Dora (one runs to top by way of stairs and back down while other does the exercise)

Flutter kicks x 400

LBCs x 300

Micheal Phelps x 200

Slow mosey to top but bear crawl up the first half of inclines and lunge walk the second half of inclines.

Faster mosey back down and exit the second level exit and head to the wall for some wall sit and air presses x 10

Mosey back to start for some Mary – Flutters, Big boys, American hammers, and Dying cockroachs

 

Announcements: haven’t changed

Prayer concerns were many

EZ out!!

 

Just another JV workout

No rain today, but the wind did have a little bite to it. 12 PAX with nothing better to do decided to post for what they were thinking would be a Huckleberry beatdown, but instead they got the JV version. Huck had a conflict and the PAX were stuck with YHC. Let’s get started.

 

No FNG’s so short version of disclaimer was given and followed by the pledge. Let’s skip the warmup, we’re a JV AO and no reason to do any extra work, right?

 

Mosey to the big parking lot at the back of the park for a preview of things to come in the Gashouse region. YHC is planning a PT test for the PAX in April and decided to go ahead and give a glimpse of things to come.

25 Merkins, 25 LBC’s, 25 Squats and 25 SSH’s followed by a lap around the entire lot. Repeat x4.

Add a lot more reps and more running and you’ve got the basis for the PT test. Don’t worry there will be a ruck / walk option for those who are unable to run.

 

Since Huck was supposed to Q, let’s do some work that he would approve of…..11’s with Hip Slappers (IC) and Big Boys.

 

The heart rate is running a little high, so time to recover a little with some core exercises. American Hammer’s, Flutter kicks, Oblique crunches, Dying cockroaches and Plank Jacks, all x20IC.

 

Now back to the wall. Let’s do the Iron Hulk. Wait a minute, this is a JV workout so let’s change it up a little. Instead of 1 to 4 Merkins and Air Presses we did 1 to 4 Mike Tyson’s and People’s Chair air presses. We made it all the way to 10 / 40 before we had to head back to the flag.

 

Finish up with 10 Burpee’s OYO at the flag. Great job guys!
