There were HIM a plenty at the Yank this morning. Unfortunately, only 6 were willing to take the beating that YHC had planned out. The rest of them went to listen to Roscoe’s rat-tail friendly trash metal. This is what happened to the brave few…

After Roscoe’s warmup we moseyed up, around and through the park to the track of the former Belmont Middle School. What laid ahead can only be described as our destiny, The Wolfpack Grinder. It’s the best gameday workout known to man.

At one end of the track the PAX would do:

  • 20 Prayer Squats IC and 20 Merkins OYO
    • Run 1/2 lap
  • 20 Prayer Squats IC and 20 Mountain Climbers OYO
    • Run 1/2 lap
  • 20 Prayer Squats IC and 20 Merkins OYO
    • Run 1/2 lap
  • 20 Prayer Squats IC and 20 Mountain Climbers OYO
    • Run 1/2 lap
  • 20 Monkey Humpers IC and 40 LBCs OYO
    • Run 1/2 lap
  • 20 Monkey Humpers IC and 20 Plank Jacks OYO
    • Run 1/2 lap
  • 20 Monkey Humpers IC and 40 LBCs OYO
    • Run 1/2 lap
  • 20 Monkey Humpers IC and 20 Plank Jacks OYO
    • Run 1/2 lap, turn around and head toward the Pit

On the way to the Pit we stopped at the shelter for 20 dips IC. After that we stopped at a curb and did 40 or so Rocky Balboa’s IC.

Once we got to the Pit we taunted the slow moving group of dudes with our high speed, exciting routine of 11’s. You know the routine, do 10 on one end and 1 at the other, increase and decrease the numbers until you flapjack the reps.

  • At the wall we did Donkey Kicks
  • At the highway barriers we did Derkins

We had a few minutes left over so we headed to the amphitheater for some Mary. We all had time to get in our own choice of exercise.

A special treat was having Brutus lead a round that started off slow, ramped up the intensity and then back down to a stop. It was masterful! When YHC asked why he hadn’t ever Q’ed over here, he said that he was taking some time off from Q’ing. Me thinks we have a gem of a Q that needs to share his expertise. Go Brutus!

We met up with the low intensity guys at the statue for the Pledge and namorama. Roscoe posted all the prayer requests and announcements on his backbast.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead men! AYE!!!

 

Update: No doubt thanks to our efforts with the Wolfpack Grinder the mighty Wolfpack earned a big WIN against the stupid Tigers on Saturday. GO WOLFPACK!!!
