Bears, Bunnies, and Burpees at the Yank

On a fine Saturday morning in July, 16 PAX decided to take the red pill and got their day started right! We held a joint kickoff and warmup combining both the 9 Fighting Yank PAX and the 7 Bunker PAX.

DISCLAIMER
We had an FNG and also Tin Man back for his 2nd post, so YHC reiterated that neither Pockets nor YHC were professionals. Modify and adjust as necessary!

WARM UP:
10 Alarm Clocks; 10 Burpees(IC, 6-count), 15 SSHs (IC)
(There was some mumblechatter about Alarm Clocks, which bring nearly all the enjoyment of a burpee, but just in reverse.)

Pockets took the Bunker PAX over to the Pit. The Fighting Yank PAX came with YHC to Stowe Park.

THE THANG

Start at Amphitheater pavilion, Murder Bunny to top of the hill (no coupons, BTW). (Tesla informed YHC what this exercise is actually called w/o a coupon, but YHC couldn’t hear him because YHC was busy getting up the hill.)

Hill Bearicides
Start at the top of the hill.
Crawl Bear down to Stop #1, do 1 Merkin
Bear Crawl back up to the top, do 1 Merkin
Crawl Bear down to Stop #2, do 2 Merkins
Bear Crawl back up to the top, do 1 Merkin
Crawl Bear down to Stop #3, do 3 Merkins
Bear Crawl back up to the top.

Mosey to the Belmont Middle School Field for:

Double 11’s – On one side we did Mountain Climbers & American Hammers, run to the other side, and then we did Mike Tysons & LBCs.

Super-Fun, No-Name Routine:
10 Burpees (IC, 6-count), 10 Ski-Abs (IC), 10 Tuck-Jumps (OYO), 10 Merkins (IC)
Hard Run across the width of the field, and Walk back.
Repeato 5X.

Indian Run for a few laps.

Mosey down to the Pavilion for Mary, only to find out that the Bunker PAX had made their way over from the Pit. So, we did our Mary on the sidewalk adjacent to the Pavilion. Dirt called his Mary cadence so that the Bunker PAX (and all of Belmont) could hear. We got a little over 8 minutes of Mary in, before YHC called time.

Mosey up to the Fighting Yank for COT.

Modified 1776

15 total PAX made it out to Gashouse this fine morning to put in some work, one of which was a FNG. TClaps to Tube for the EH! After the disclaimer, pledge and warmup, 3 PAX decided to do the Bootcamp and followed YHC up to the track at Grier.

I saw a CSAUP called 1776 that one of the regions did for July 4th and it looked pretty tough. I used that as the basis for the workout this morning and we’ll call it The 400’s. It went like this…..

 

400 meter run then partner up for 100 cumulative reps of 4 exercises. Rinse and repeat 4 rounds changing partners each round.

Round 1 – HR Merkins, LBC’s, High knees, Seal Jacks

Round 2 – Werkins, Big Boys, Squats, Plank Jacks

Round 3 – Diamond Merkins, American Hammers, Lunges, SSH’s

Round 4 – Ranger Merkins, Flutter Kicks, Butt Kickers, Little Gumby’s

 

Run a 5th lap after Round 4 and then 100 cumulative Burpee’s between the 4 PAX

 

We got through this much faster than anticipated due to the 3 bat flippers that were constantly pushing YHC to pick up the pace . Strong work by 3 strong HIM’s!

 

Since we had a little time left, we headed to the wall of the school for 2 rounds of 1 minute wall sit, 10 Dirty Hookups IC and 10 Hip Slappers IC.

 

Back to the flag for a couple minutes of ab work with the Painlab guys before time was called.

 

COT/NMM

Romans 12:10 – “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”

Candor and constructive criticism are essential to building string relationships, but we need to make sure it comes from a place of love. Praise and admiration are also essential and oftentimes overlooked.
