Is that insurance fraud?

It would have been easy to do something in the well-lit area of the parking lot that was mostly clear of debris.  We aren’t about doing easy things, though.  After Slaw’s warmup, I directed the Pain Lab Pax over to the pitch-black area near the picnic tables, covered with acorns, gravel, and stray mulch.  We managed to overcome these minor obstacles.  The rules were simple:  100 seconds of work on a pair of exercises (switch when and as often as you like) followed by 20 seconds transition.  Alternate exercises as frequently as you need to, but keep working all 100 seconds.
Overhead press / Upright rows
Goblet squats / Step ups
Big boys / Heels to Heaven
Kettlebell swings / Squat-curl-press
Derkins / Dips
Bulgarian split squats (left) / One-legged overhead press (left leg, right hand)
Bulgarian split squats (right) / One-legged overhead press (right leg, left hand)
Star crunches / American hammers

Rinse and repeat until time.  3 full cycles took us to 0759.  Rejoined bootcampers for COT.

See Gashouse BB for announcements and prayer requests.

As always, privileged to lead a fine group of HIM’s this morning!

Halloween’s Over

Three ruckers and a mutt braved the Artic blast coming down on  Diablo Sammich this morning.  To stay warm, we thought it would be a good idea to stop for squats in front of every house in the Riverwood neighborhood that still had their Halloween decorations up.

Bad idea.

Prayer requests: Turtleman (Tube gave an update); the Blakney family.

Weak Sauce in the Cold

YHC (and at least one or two more) has been battling some sciatic nerve pain for a while, so the beatdown was a little less intense than my normal Q’s. Kept the PAX moving and tried to get a full body workout in. Might have hit the shoulders a little hard. Here’s what happened:

 

Warmup

Pledge

Mosey up the main hill to the upper lot at the AG Center stopping at 5 locations along the way for 5 Big Boy, 10 American Hammers and 15 Flutter Kicks.

Line up on one side of the parking lot and do the following routine x5:

5 Mike Tyson’s

Bunny hop or Broad Jump across the lot

5 Burpee’s at the island

Run back to start

 

Zombie walk to the small lot for Dora 1-2-3
