This Saturday at the Yank 9 experienced PAX showed for their DRP. A super short disclaimer was given and things were about to get started until the FNG I’d been EH’ing for the longest time jumped out of his car the the best workout of his life! This time around, a full disclaimer (as best I could recall) was given for the benefit of the FNG and now we’re ready!

Pledge of Allegiance

Warm-Up, Side Straddle Hop x15 IC, Don Quixote x10 IC (Kiish noted that this is the second highest selling book of all time behind the Bible, #goodtoknow), Moroccan Night Clubs x20 IC

We moseyed through the park, around the fountain for a quick Death Spiral and up to the parking spaces beside Caravan Coffee for…

The Thang

Bearway to Heaven – a bearcrawl suicide routine to the sound of Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven”. The PAX would bearcrawn to the first parking line and back then do 5 burpees. Go to the 2nd line and back, do 4 burpees and so on until we got to the last burpee. Some of the buys weren’t familiar with Led Zeppelin which is the greatest rock band of time and demands more education from YHC at a later date.

Next, mosey across the street to the grass amphitheater for a session of Clock Merkins. On the incline section of the hill, hold plank and when YHC calls, the “time” as related to the position on a clock, the PAX would perform 5 merkins. We went through several stops at 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock, 9 o’clock and so on. This was tough but good.

Full disclosure, YHC was totally gassed after Quish and I did an EC run prepping for the Tuna 200 before the workout. My bad men, I won’t do a long run before my next Q so that I can bring the real heat! You deserve better! Aye!!!

Mosey from the amphitheater up to the field/track behind the school for a round of Hurricane Hoedown. This is a flutter kick routine called in cadence to get your abs ripped. I picked this one specially for Tool Time because he was supposed to run with us and post at the Yank, but he ducked us and posted at Folsom. Back to the lecture at hand… the routine went like this. Starting with 7 reps of each descending to 1, the PAX did:

  • Regular flutter kicks
  • Flutter kicks with hands raised Hallelujah style
  • Flutters with hand behind your back
  • Reclined flutters
  • LBC flutters

There was plenty of discussion between sets because I was tired.

Mosey down through the shelter across the street to Sammy’s wall for our last stop, Dora 123. Partner up and do cumulative reps of:

  • 50 hip slappers
  • 150 LBCs
  • 250 Rocky Balboas
  • Partner 1 would do a lunge walk across the street and back while the other exercises

Ceish, being a no-it-all, said off the bat that there was going to be an Omaha called. Unfortunately he was right because those hip slappers really sucked. I think everybody got in one round of those before I switched out the full number to instead do more LBCs, 250 to be exact.

Finish up with a couple sets of Mary: crunchy frogs and little baby dips. Done!

Prayer requests: there were a couple and I can’t remember exactly what they were. From now on I’m going to record the prayer requests and announcements like the namorama. Pray for each other men.

Announcements: Same thing, can’t remember, I’ll get it right next time.

Namorama: Welcome FNG Uncle Phil!

Thanks for letting me lead men.
