There was a great turnout at The Ricky Bobby today – 16 PAX and YHC.    There was a good mix of stalwarts and PAX that YHC hasn’t seen for a while.

This turnout is likely the result of the AO-hyping that Nutria does on Slack each Tuesday evening, ever since he took over the reins as SiteQ at TRB.

“No FNGs.”   (After writing that phrase in yet another Backblast, it concerns me that we haven’t had too many FNGs out recently, as far as I know.)

Questions for all PAX to reflect on (YHC included):

    • On what date did the last guy you EH’d post as an FNG?
    • Which guy in your life really needs you to EH him today, to help him transform himself into a HIM?   Will you approach him today, even if you already have?

WARM-UP

  • Alarm Clocks  (Man, the PAX really love these!)
  • Little Arm Circles forward (IC)
  • Little Arm Circles backward (IC)
  • Burpees (IC)

Mosey over to the field for…

THE THANG

Vicious Circle
  • PAX circled up on the perimeter of the Vicious circle (marked by cones).
  • Two PAX posted up in the center of the circle, where they found a 45 rucksack, and a 30lb ruckplate.
    • PAX 1 does 30 overhead presses with the 30lb ruckplate
    • PAX 2 does 20 kettlebell swings with the 45lb rucksack
    • PAX 1 & 2 switch exercises
  • While the two PAX complete the exercises, the PAX on the circle continually moved in a counter-clockwise direction, with a movement that YHC called.
    • Bear Crawl
    • Lunge Walk
    • NUR
    • Broad Jumps
    • Runner Skips
    • ButtKickers
  • When the two PAX completed their set, they went and tagged in two new PAX from the circle.
  • As a new set of 2 PAX started their exercises, YHC called a different movement for the Circle PAX.
  • Continue until everyone has been in the Center once.
  • Kudos to Boudin, who jumped in the center of the circle for an extra set, to prevent the final remaining solo PAX from being alone.
Mosey into Cramer Woods
Burpees / Merkins / Fun-with-Hills
  • At the speed bump downhill of Sargento’s house, the PAX knocked out:
  • 3 Burpees (IC)
  • 6 Merkins (IC – Three 4-count Merkins  = 6 Total)
  • Sprint up the Hill from speed bump to the stop sign  (According to the infallible Google Maps, this run was approximately100 yards.)
  • The PAX got three reps of this routine in, before heading back.
Monkey Humpers
  • Done in the general direction of Sargento’s house.
Mosey back to school
Mary
  • Flutters
  • Penguin Taps
  • Plank Jacks
  • Obliques
  • Something Else

During Mary, the PAX gave a warm welcome to M Breaker Breaker as she made her way into the school for today’s classes.
