Ya’ll must be vaccinated!

I pulled up at Old School to see most everyone decided to get some EC in. 13 circle up for a grad week workout.

Warmarama:

SSH, Don Q’s, Hillbilly’s x 11 IC

Thang:

Mosey to the corner at the playground equipment to lunge walk for half the block then reverse lunge to the stop sign.

Mosey down the hill to the Pickle for 10 HR Merkins and 1 Burpee then run up the hill to the stop sign and back for 9HR Merkins and 2 Burpees. Repeat till you get to 1HR Merkin and 10 Burpees. Somewhere in this set we have a Toyota Avalon come by and the girl inside screams “ya’ll must be vaccinated “ and drives up the road. We all look at each other somewhat confused and laugh about it. More on this later.

We mosey to the courthouse entrance and then bear crawl to the steps for the triple nickel. Big Boy sit-ups on one side of the steps up and over the steps for Little Gumby in the woods. A 10 count by Leppard and it’s off to the corner.

4corner escalator was called with Diamond Merkins x 10, 20 flutters, 30 Squats, and finally 40 lbc’s  mosey to next corner.

Here I call 10 WWII’s (thought I was calling WWI’s oh well just go with it.) run to the corner at Papa’s Pizza for 10 Star jumps back and forth each corner counting down 1 each time. Here is where our Avalon and occupants show up again. She was screaming stuff and we were all going along with her. I don’t have a clue what was said by her or us. We were just amused by the constant drive by’s. I’m sure she showed at least 2 more times before we started making the way back with around 5 sets to go. Stopping at each corner counting down our sets till we arrive at start with 3 minutes to go.

10 Spider-Man Merkins OYO 10 Mountain Climbers OYO and LBC’s IC till time.

Great to see big attendance! Appreciate everyone coming out and working hard this morning. Thanks for another opportunity to lead!

NUOSU week two at the Gashouse

We had five this morning and here is what we did.
coupons used:  5 rucksacks, dumbbells (35 and 40) one kettlebell, one piece of granite, one 40# sandbag. One well travelled wheelbarrow, one speaker

Warmup:  throw coupons over fence and then jump the fence to Grier track and run one lap

Next with rucks on, 5 sets of the following:  Ten squats, ten merkins, ten Ground to overhead press with ruck  off (use as coupon)

Next police up gear and roll to the start line on the track and partner up

 

P1 and P2 work together one pax wears ruck w/sandbag on shoulders and farmer carries 35# dumbbells a lap around track. Switch as needed.

P3 and P4 put everything else in the wheelbarrow and do a lap together, switching as needed.

P5 bearcrawls ten yards and does flutters w/bag up and then lungewalks back to start and does American hammers.

repeat until everyone has completed the laps four times and the solo work once. The last lap was all together with the wheelbarrow loaded with everything to include rucksacks but we had to modify since the wheelbarrow was going to fail. you could hear it groan and the wood was about to splinter.  You ever see a large woman whose buttons on her pants are about to pop after a meal at the fish camp?  (Reminds me of the time we were doing defensive tactics training and one of my friends broke his pinky after rolling around with another larger guy with a pretty big gut. “What happened to your finger?”  A:  “it got stuck in Lee’s belly button”. (You had to be there)).

Remove and carry coupons as needed to get the weight balanced and complete the lap, jump the fence, and put all the coupons up. Working time was approximately 45 minutes.

Glad Whoopee asked me to lead and glad we had more PAX participate. If you get Short Sale fired up on any topic he will carry 140 pounds for an entire lap and not notice that he is doing all the work.

Watts up is a beast but his shoulders don’t seem to accept a sandbag.  We may need to figure out if the problem is the bag or the technique?

Voodoo showed up early ready to go and definitely “N’ed Up” this am.

Whoopee is a consistent rock pusher and doesn’t complain about anything. His aim is to get the Gashouse back as the premier Saturday workout and grow it so make sure you get into the habit of EH’ing everywhere you go.

We had a few minutes to hydrate and change shirts before EZ rider took it to us for the normal 0700 beat down.  We have heard it many times when we do hard things together due to  FOMO that we “need better friends”.   I don’t think so. I think I need more guys like you.
