OK Guys; Show Me Your Monkey Humps!!!!

As I roll up my normal 20min. early, I notice that the Belmont streets are already being claimed by some PAX getting in some EC.  Little do they know that I have learned from all the canoes and have a douche of a workout planned for us.  As everyone is rolling in and PAX  finishing their EC; We gather by the Kiosk and chat and fist bump to start the workout. A car rolls by and a lady hollered out the window “Hey guys, Show me your Monkey Humps” So we obliged!!  Come to find out that she is from Cherubs and has been educated on Monkey Humpers. (I’m pretty sure that she has already pinched Orangeman on the backside!) It was pretty awesome. With time ready and everyone bursting to get started; Lets begin!

Warm up

5 Burpees OYO

I forgot what was after but it was short and sweet! Lets Mosey.

Moseying started and it came a concern that Freight and Boudin were  MIA. Phone call was made and no answer, we sent Bos on a mission. It was established later that they are on a ruck mission.

Mosey to the stop light at the corner of Myrtle and Main. We will start there with an exercise and then mosey to the next corner at Myrtle and Central perform another exercise, then go to Central and Woodrow for another stop and then on to the corner of Woodrow and Main and then stop at the RR tracks for another exercise and head back to the start. Rinse and repeat. This is a 1 mile loop

Corner 1

Merkin

Corner 2

LBC

Corner 3

Squat

Corner 4

Toy Soldiers

Round 1 is 10 reps All reps are IC. So its 5 IC first and then 10 and then 15 for the last round.

Round 2 is 20 reps

Round 3 is 30 reps.

RR tracks we completed 5 Burpees on round 1, 5 Eight count Body Builders round 2,  Round 3 was SSH 40 IC.

First round we came across a train and I heard someone say that another PAX had a rule of 5 burpees for trains. Although I kept going and instructed the PAX to not stop; All  stopped and did Burpees while 2 of us kept moving and waited at the next corner. The plan was for Burpees at the train tracks on the other end. 🤷‍♀️ So I only gave them 5 at the tracks instead of the planned 10.

On the second and third rounds I needed help counting a few times. So I asked Pizzaman and Tooltime to help. Thanks guys.

On the third lap we detoured to the pullup bars for a Triple Nickle.

Pull ups and Imperial Walkers.

Some PAX did a Lunge in between. Some slow moseyed. We were pretty beat by then.

 

Mosey up to the next stop.

Mosey over to the front of the school. for another detour. I asked a few PAX for an exercise so we can run the figure 8 course.  We performed 6 exercises around the front loop. We completed 1 loop and then got back to our last lap. Do each exercise 10 times single count.

Peter Parkers, Burpees, WW1, Hillbillies, 8 count body builders and Shoulder Taps

With 3 more stops ahead and time catching up lets move. After the tracks we met the ruckers and gave them 5 more Burpees to finish out the morning.

 

Good job everyone. Way to push!!!

“I’m right here, Dirt” – The Sandlot 3/1/21

When Flintstone rolls up to Pelicans on Neal Hawkins Road, he usually parks around back where it is very dark.  Today was no different.  Flintstone ran EC with Watts Up, EZ Rider and I so I knew he was back there changing his shoes and shirt before the boot camp work out.  There was a light reflecting off his car and from my position in the front parking, without my glasses it looked like he was still back there.  I knew it was getting close to 5:30 so I hollered out “Come on Flintstone, It’s time.”  I heard a voice from behind me say, “I’m right here, Dirt.”  The PAX who were present had a good laugh at that.  I found out long ago the we need to be able to laugh at ourselves and this was another opportunity for me to do so.  Unfortunately, I find myself in this position all too often.  I hope you can laugh at yourself as well.

No FNG’s so the usual disclaimer.  Don’t hurt yourself, make it harder if you want or easier if you want.
