Strong showing on a rainy morning at Tequila Sunrise as 7 HIM’s gather under the covered walkway to the school. The rain falls steadily at 0529 as a shadowy figure in a hoodie anxiously jogs across the parking lot; Rebar joins the circle just as the clock strikes 0530. Then another Eagle Parker trots in from other direction; Gator brings the total to 9. We start with the pledge, warm up with SSH and Hillbilly walkers (10xIC), and mosey around the sidewalk near the concrete benches in front of the school for The Thang:
Superman Pull-ups (chest on ground; pull-up motion with hands and feet elevated; 10xIC)
Nolan Ryans (10xIC each side)
Mountain Climbers (10xIC)
10 each OYO: Freddy Mercury, American Hammers, Scissor Kicks
Superman Pull-ups (10xIC), Nolan Ryans (10xIC each side), Mountain Climbers (10xIC)
Heels to Heaven (10 OYO), Low side plank (30 sec each side)
Superman Pull-ups (10xIC), Nolan Ryans (10xIC each side), Mountain Climbers (10xIC)
Now make use of the concrete benches with 10 each OYO:
Step-ups (each leg), Derkins, Dips
Box jumps
Dips, Derkins, Step-ups (each leg)
Count off before next sequence. Still 9.
Superman Pull-ups, Nolan Ryans, Mountain Climbers (10xIC)
PAX call ab exercises: Among other things, C-Pap and Tiger call back to back crunchy frogs.
Superman Pull-ups, Nolan Ryans, Mountain Climbers (10xIC)
Rain isn’t pounding so hard now, so take a lap around the parking lot before getting back to the benches with 15 each OYO:
Step-ups (each leg), Derkins, Dips
Box jumps
Dips, Derkins, Step-ups (each leg)
Superman Pull-ups, Nolan Ryans, Mountain Climbers (10xIC)
PAX call ab exercises: Among other things, Orangeman calls for man-makers but actually does burpees, and Rebar for some reason calls a painfully slow 13-rep cadence of Hello Dollys.
Time runs out before the next set of Superman Pull-ups…
