Less running, more merkins

9 strong men including 1 FNG woke up early on a Saturday morning for a beat down at the Fighting Yank. I hope I gave them their money’s worth. With the mud run coning soon, I planned to Q a workout that would include at least a 5k with exercise obstacles around the city of Belmont. That all changed when I got a text from Pockets Friday evening. He is coming off of IR Saturday morning! His only request was ” not a lot of running”. That’s ok, we’ll just do more merkins. Here’s how it went:

Warm up

Don Quixotesx15IC

LBCsx15IC

Merkinsx10IC

The Thang

Mosey up the hill to the front of Belmont Central for some station work. Perform an exercise and then run a lap around the front of the school. Each exercise will be 50 reps. the exercises were: LBCs, merkins, squats, calf raises, dips, flutter kicks, and decline merkins.

Now that we’re warmed up, lets mosey around to the back of the school for some rugby sprints. YHC will call out an exercise and we will do them until I say go. We will then sprint around 30 yards down and back then walk to the other end. Exercises included merkins, LBCs, CDDs and a few others I don’t remember.

Mosey to the picnic shelter for some exercises done as 10,10,9,9,8,8….the first exercises were dips and Bobby Hurlies, next were LBCs and merkins.

Still some time left so a short mosey to the hill for some Quadraphillia (thanks Billy Madison). Partner up, 1 partner holds plank position while the other runs up the hill backwards and down forwards. Switch at the bottom. The clock was set for 5 minutes but it seemed like longer.

Back to where we started for the Pledge and 5 minutes of Mary. Times up!
