Swings and things …

Delinquent post apologies from YHC.  Ran over the dog and such … many excuses … now hard to remember what we did, but Q can make stuff up with the best.

Warm – up: SSH, etc. 8-Count body-builders I assume, cuz I usually like to.

Pledge

Thang – Mosey to park stopping at boulder run with a burpee at each boulder.  Mosey to grassy area beside playground.  Someone happened to leave a heavy bag in the parking lot so we played plank ring around the rosey running around with the heavy bag.  Entered the playground and partnered up.  Half the pax had feet in the swings for knees to chest while partner did squats.  1 minute time AMAP.  Switch.  Next did “Flying squats / Supermans” with swings holding chest / belly.  Partner did curtsy lunges.  Switch.  Set of Jack Webbs to 10 followed by more squats.  Mosey back towards Pelicans picking up the heavy bag and working together to get it home.  Knee highs, butt-kickers, arm Chinooks, etc. along the route.  Stopped for additional sets of core exercises.

Moleskin – Nice core-focused work men!   Great to see some Saturday “regulars” posting during the week.  Regular posting = acceleration.

 

Flying EH- This is how you do it.

16 pax started ITG. 17 finished. But more on that later. YHC led the pax to the Busted Grill(Respect) ropes and pull-up bars. But first things first.

Warm up
SSH IC x 25
Imperial Walkers IC x 25

Now the Thang.
Run 1 lap. Sprint on straight aways, recover on curves.
Option A- climb rope and slap top.
Option B- 5 pull ups
5 burpees.

Rinse and repeat, BUT each time you add 1 lap and 5 burpees.
If you reach 5 laps and 25 burpees, walk the ladder back down.
Don’t forget your rope climb or 5 pull ups each time.

CoT
Welcome Paperjam from F3SonsofBallentine, and Dr. Feelgood from F3Gastonia. Dr Feelgood brought 2 FNGs from Chucktown. Yorktown and JoeDirt. We expect to hear about you posting in Charleston. Hoff brought FNG (Chad Lyon) Sleepless, and he pulled a Flying EH on a sad clown who happened to be at the track. FNG (Scott Holzwarth) is now Junior, as in The Hoff Jr. Thanks for all of the guests and FNGs. Thanks for the opportunity to get stronger and for the men/women on the front lines.

Moleskin-
YHC worked hard to come up with something that would work for FNGs and bust the balls of our rabbits. This one seemed to work pretty well. Dr Feelgood was in the lead for FNGS with 2, however Hoff improvised and overcame with a flying EH that worked to perfection. On each lap Hoff worked a little conversational magic on the sad clown in the curve. Then on the final lap, with the charm and subtlety of a sledgehammer, Hoff helped Junior evolve from sad clown to joining the BOM in a matter of minutes. Tclaps to Hoff and Dr Feelgood. Paper jam, you fessed up about being in town all week. Now you are locked in. Expect to see you tomorrow Hugh MacRae Park. Everyone pushed hard and gave it their all. Each of you are faster today, than you were yesterday. #gettingstronger #Ironsharpensiron Thanks for the honor and privilege to lead today.

-LETC out

The lord of the flies

or gnats, whatever.  14 men, including one fng (makotos), entered the gnat-infested gloom for a snot-woggling beat down. after Garfield’s disclaimer, we were off.

mosey to the lower picnic shelter and back to the tennis courts.

garfield split the pax into 4 groups and put men at every corner of the tennis courts.  burpees, merkins, lbc and jump rope.  merkins, lbc and jump rope was AMRAP while the group doing the burpees completed 20.  once done, move to the next corner.  sprinting the long side, lunge walking the short.  once the pax completed every corner, rinse and repeat with 15 burpees and AMRAP the others.  once done, repeat with 10 burpees.

circle up for some ab work.  20 WW1 sit-ups, 40 Russian twists, 20 side crunches, flapjack. Hydrant with the call for 22 merkins to pay respect to the veterans.  good call, Hydrant.  finished up with 22 CDDs.
