14 for a Bootcamp + Hal doing Hal things as YHC succumbed to a strong EH by the Site Q, knowing that the thickest slabs of livermush were waiting on the other side.  Here’s what I remember:

The Thang:

  • 10 x SSH (IC)
  • 10 x Don Quixotes (IC)
  • 10 x Hillbillies (IC)
  • Tesla Stretches
  • 10 x Mike Tysons (IC)
  • 5 x Burpees (OYO)
  • 15 x Dying Cockroaches (Slow Cadence)
  • 15 x American Hammers (Slow Cadence)
  • 15 x Double Crunches (IC)

Staying put, we partnered up, and did some alternating partner work.  One partner held plank while the other did 10 reps.  Switch roles.  Then switch back for 9 reps, and continue on that way til we get down to 1 rep.

Partner Countdowns:

  • Partner 1 – Plank
  • Partner 2 – Merkins
  • Switch
  • 10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 Reps

We still hadn’t left the parking lot.  Time to go somewhere.

Mosey to the bottom of the hill.

  • 5 x Burpees (OYO)

Mosey some more.  This time to wherever they keep the blocks.  Stopping first for:

  • 5 x Burpees (OYO)
  • 15 x Dying Cockroaches (Slow Cadence)
  • 15 x American Hammers (Slow Cadence)
  • 15 x Double Crunches (IC)

Partner Countdowns:

  • Partner 1 – Al Gore
  • Partner 2 – Squats
  • Switch
  • 10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 Reps

Block work today was “Nasty” 7s, which was a nod to JJ’s Annihilation Q.  Like 11s, there were exercises to do on both sides, but no counting down, just 7 reps every time.  Also, the dirty part was the Blockee in the middle both ways.  To make it Nasty, we just repeat for 7 minutes.  So not quite the same as the Nasty 11s, but same idea.

Nasty 7’s

  • 7 x Upright Rows (OYO)
  • Carry to the middle
  • 1 x Blockee (OYO)
  • Carry to the other side
  • 7 x Tricep Presses (OYO)
  • Carry back to the middle
  • 1 x Blockee (OYO)
  • Carry back to start
  • Repeato for 7 minutes

Highlight here was Seuss grabbing a full block.  Also, we left the blocks messier than we found them.  Anyways, short round of block work, probably could’ve been longer, but there were other and different fun things to do.

Mosey up the hill to the fork in the road

  • 5 x Burpees (OYO)

Mosey back to the tennis courts

  • 5 x Burpees (OYO)
  • 15 x Dying Cockroaches (Slow Cadence)
  • 15 x American Hammers (Slow Cadence)
  • 15 x Double Crunches (IC)

Partner Countdowns:

  • Partner 1 – Hammer Hold (American Hammer position w/feet up, but no twisting)
  • Partner 2 – LBCs
  • Switch
  • 10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 Reps

And then

  • 15 x Hip Slappers (IC)

Because we could

So the last set of stuff would be reverse suicides, with us starting with the far court, then working our way back.  At each court, we would do

  • 10 x Jungle Boy Squats (OYO)

before running back.  When finished, PAX would run a lap all the way around the tennis courts, then finish up with

  • 30 x CDDs (OYO)

As we waited for the Six, we cranked out another round of

  • 15 x Hip Slappers (IC)

It was so much fun, we did it again, with one quick change.  Instead of the Jungle Boys, we did

  • 10 x Mike Tysons (OYO)

at every court, starting at the far end and working our way back.  1 full lap at the end, and then another round of

  • 30 x CDDs (OYO)

And that was really all we had time for.  Mosey the short way back to the flag.  Time.
