The Time Warp

4 PAX braved harsh 55 degree misty conditions that persuaded PAX region wide to stay in the Fartsack.  The season of giving continued with equipment sharing and 2 for 1 deals.  And we jumped rope.  A lot.  Here’s what I remember:

0525 – YHC pulls up and drops off 2 blocks and a set of jump ropes

0531 – YHC parks the car and hurries to get things started

What the…?  What just happened?  The Bulldog parking lot Time Warp struck again.  The Site Q informed me of the Time Warp after the workout was over.  We made up for it though.

Disclaimer given, and 4 PAX, but only 3 with bells.  YHC brought 2 blocks for carrying, but that wouldn’t work for some of the exercises on the Weinke.  Nutria had 2 kettlebells.  Next thing we know, Winehouse has a bell, and Nutria is left with the big rock.  No worries.  Dude’s a monster and a pro.  He will figure it out.

The Thang:

• 10 x Don Quixotes (IC)
• 10 x Gravel Pickers (IC)
• Tesla Stretches
• 10 x Mike Tysons (IC)
• 10 x Hillbillies (IC)
• 10 x Arrows (IC)
• 10 x Imperial Walker Squats (IC)

Still scrambling, YHC ditched the carry for a simple meander around the parking lot so he could fumble with his phone and put on music.  Spiderman brought is block though, so we weren’t all just mall walking.

So here’s the routine:

• 10 x High Pulls (OYO)
• 10 x Halos CW (OYO)
• 10 x Halos CCW (OYO)
• 10 x American Hammers w/Bell (OYO)
• 10 x Curls (OYO)
• 10 x Swings (OYO)

Next we partner up.

• Partner 1 – Exercises
• Partner 2 – Jump Rope til Partner 1 finishes
• Switch
• Repeato for all Exercises

So everybody does all of all the exercises, and when their partners are doing exercises, they’re just jumping rope.  Exercises for round 1 were:

• 10 x Burpees (OYO)
• 20 x Merkins (OYO)
• 30 x Squats (OYO)
• 40 x LBCs (OYO)

That was a lot of jumping rope, especially when you don’t do it much.  Don’t worry.  There were 2 more rounds coming.

So next on the Weinke was a sequence where 1 PAX would Rifle Carry the block to the end of the cover and back while the other PAX just plank.  We would just stay there til all 4 PAX went.  YHC decided to go first, and took off running with the block in a Rifle Carry.  Giving chase was Nutria with the second block.  That’s not how it was supposed to go, but whatever.  We got back and Winehouse went.  Then Spiderman.  In just the time it took those two to get back, YHC was struggling to keep the plank.  Guess it’s a good thing Nutria followed and didn’t make it any longer.  Anyways, enough of that.  Back to square 1:

• 12 x High Pulls (OYO)
• 12 x Halos CW (OYO)
• 12 x Halos CCW (OYO)
• 12 x American Hammers w/Bell (OYO)
• 12 x Curls (OYO)
• 12 x Swings (OYO)

Back to Partners Exercise/Jump Rope.  Exercises for round 2:

• 10 x Mike Tysons (OYO)
• 20 x Bulgarian Split Squats (OYO – 10 x L & 10 x R)
• 30 x Flutter Kicks (OYO – Count L side)
• 40 x Moroccan Night Clubs (OYO)

Our intermission this time was a Duck Walk to the “1st” sign and a Lunge Walk back.

The Time Warp not only taketh away, but it also giveth, as we had plenty of time for a 3rd set:

• 15 x High Pulls (OYO)
• 15 x Halos CW (OYO)
• 15 x Halos CCW (OYO)
• 15 x American Hammers w/Bell (OYO)
• 15 x Curls (OYO)
• 15 x Swings (OYO)

Back to Partners Exercise/Jump Rope.  Exercises for round 3:

• 10 x Bobby Hurleys (OYO)
• 20 x Heels to Heaven (OYO)
• 30 x Dips (OYO)
• 40 x Monkey Humpers (OYO)

Then one last Waiter Carry with our bells, back down to the end of the cover with our Right hand and back with our Left hand.

And that was all the time we had.

Never fails.  After a round at Bulldog, I always realize I run too much.  Nutria & I made the trek to Floyd & Blackies to join the PAX from the Storm for some coffee.  Great start to the last week of 2023.

Grateful for the opportunity to lead.
