Puddles, Rivers, and Blocks at MtHW

Freon (SiteQ) and YHC arrived early in the rainy Gloom, and parked next to each other.  The parking lot was otherwise empty.  We rolled down our windows to discuss whether anyone else would show today.

Well, on this first Monday of 2022, the rain could not deter the core group of stalwarts from the Mt Hollywood AO. They woke up, jumped out of their fartsacks, and made their way out into the Gloom, just like they do every single Monday.

These HIMs were so focused and ready to work, that YHC doesn’t think they even realized that the rain was going sideways, and that a hurricane was about to kick up.

YHC promised on Slack the night before, that we would workout out under a canopy, and that there would be treats for the PAX. YHC came through on those promises.

We immediately Mosey’d across the street to the canopies at Ida Rankin Elem.  On the way, we made sure that we stepped in EVERY SINGLE deep puddle and raging river we could find.

With our socks and shoes fully rinsed, the PAX arrived at Ida Rankin to find the “treats” that YHC had promised the night before – cinderblocks.

WarmUp
-SSH
-Air Presses
-Squats

The THANG

“CinderDora”
Partner1 – Do 25 Curls
Partner2 – Do LBCs until Partner1 finishes his 25 reps
Then, both partners, together, do
High-Knees to the other end of the canopy (~30yds)
Buttkickers on the way back
Then, continue exercise reps in sets of 25, as a Dora-pair until you reach the target number.
We did 200 cinderblock curls.

CinderDora was set to continue for about 8 additional exercises, but YHC called Omaha.

YHC Omaha’d to the workout found below, b/c YHC felt that the HIMs from Mt. HW weren’t getting their money’s worth from the CinderDora, in the  the particular way I had planned it. (I really like the CinderDora idea, but YHC plans to adjust it a little for another Q, so it works better for the PAX.

Here’s what we did after the Omaha was called:

25 Overhead presses w/ Cinderblock (IC)
Run 25yd, do 2 burpees, Run back
25 Kettlebell Swings w/ Cinderblock (IC)
Run 25yd, do 2 burpees, Run back
25 Thrusters w/ Cinderblock (IC)
Run 25yd, do 2 burpees, Run back
25 Kettlebell Swings w/ Cinderblock (IC)
Run 25yd, do 2 burpees, Run back
25 Kettlebell Sit and Press w/ Cinderblock (IC)

25 Kettlebell Swings w/ Cinderblock (IC)
