Two for a Labor Day workout.  The bank time and temp tells me it is 61 degrees.  In the middle of the workout I could not get over how quiet and peaceful it was inside of Martha’s house.  Perfect morning.  Guess it’s time to work on some perfect form.

Leave Pelican’s, mosey to Martha’s.  About midway in parking lot we lunge.  Trying our best to get in a perfect lunge, knee’s straight and nearly touching the ground.

Down to edge of playground, working on some more perfection.

Merkins:  15 merkins, hand shoulder width, all the way down, extend all the way up.  Mosey to island and back.  Rinse and repeat, 20 and 25.

Since IPC Week 1 hand release stuck in my mind as being particularly awful, let’s try some of these.

Hand Release Merkins:  15 and mosey around the island.  Rinse and repeat 20 and you can forget the 25.

IPC Week 2 modified:  The Week 2 IPC looks something like this.  Center position, 10 thrusters (with block), walk block out to first station (block overhead) and perform 25 count at each station.  After 25 count, walk block overhead back to center station, 10 more thrusters and out to station 2.  Etc. etc.  Before start and after start is a 400M run.  The IPC stations (remember with the block) is:  Decline Merkins, Blockee’s, Weighted Squats, Kettle Bell swing, Vertical block presses, and Alpos.  Modified for this we:

400M run:

Center:  Jump Squats x 10 each return

Station 1:  Decline Merkins

Station 2:  Burpees using curb

Station 3:  Squats

Station 4:  Overhead Claps

Station 5:  CDD’s

Station 6:  Dips

400M run:

We got through one round and I think two stations of round 2.  Note, for IPC purposes the event is timed to 43 minutes.

Slow mosey for a hot minute to save Linus back to Pelicans and with breath in hand we strong moseyed back.

Pledge:

Prayer:

One on one times like this are great times to bond with your brothers.  I had a great time working out with Defib and trying to keep up with him even as I was the Q.  Happy Labor Day to all.  Hope you have a great week.
