Bugs, Sweat, and Tears

6 men Snoozed their way through a miserable sweatfest, accompanied by an entire rain forest of insects, and a little whining, though it could’ve been worse.  Here’s what I remember:

Disclaimer given was meant to lower expectations.  The Weinke wasn’t fully formed, but rather than keep it simple, YHC tried to wedge it all in.  It was going to be dumb – either way too much or dry and slow.  Regardless, it would be what it was.

The Thang:

• 10 x Don Quixotes (IC)
• 10 x Imperial Walkers (IC)
• Tesla Stretches
• 10 x Mike Tysons (IC)
• 10 x Peter Parkers (IC)

Went ahead with the first set of, I guess 2, sets of what was supposed to be a circuit we came back to a few times:

• 15 x Perfect Form Merkins (OYO)
• 15 x Bulgarian Split Squats L (OYO)
• 15 x Bulgarian Split Squats R (OYO)
• 15 x Oblique Crunches L (OYO)
• 15 x Oblique Crunches R (OYO)

and just one more bit of stupid before running off:

• 10 x Goofballs (IC)

Mosey to the picnic shelter beside the greenway.  It was a long run, and we thinned out, so YHC planned to stop for Monkey Humpers on the side of the street, but then we just… didn’t.  Snooze at it’s finest.  Once at the picnic shelter, it was time for the first of, I guess 1, sets of what was supposed to be a circuit we came back to a few times:

• 20 x Freddie Mercuries (OYO)
• 20 x Toe Touches (OYO)
• 20 x Double Crunches (OYO)
• 20 x Star Boys (OYO)

Short Sale’s Double Crunches are really something from another planet.  Pretty sure he has a YouTube channel on core work.

The next mosey was a long one, as we went around the large body of water in front of the fire station that the Q might’ve referred to as “the lake”.

We stopped at the River Room for some work on those steps for a few more dumb ideas.

• Climb steps
  • 3 x Calf Raises each step (OYO)
• Descend steps
  • 3 x Merkins w/hands on steps (aka Deep Sea Divers?) (OYO)
• Crab Walk to the parking spaces
• 10 x Jungle Boy Squats
• Lunge Walk back to the steps
• Climb steps
  • 3 x Merkins w/feet on steps (backwards, some had to modify to incline with hands on steps) (OYO)
• Descend steps
  • 3 x Sissy Squats (heels up) (OYO)
• Crab Walk to the parking spaces
• 10 x Jungle Boy Squats
• Lunge Walk back to the steps

JJ said something about it being 0711 already, and the Q wasn’t sure how we’d burned so much time without really getting as far as hoped for.  More often than not, it takes 2 Qs to get in all the stuff planned for 1.

So we’d do what we could.  Back to the picnic shelter for what was supposed to be another full round, but we only really got done with the first half before we needed to move on or miss out on a venture to the “Torture Chamber”:

• 15 x Perfect Form Merkins (OYO)
• 15 x Bulgarian Split Squats L (OYO)
• 15 x Bulgarian Split Squats R (OYO)
• 15 x Oblique Crunches L (OYO)
• 15 x Oblique Crunches R (OYO)

Rather than more core work or more running, we just moseyed back to the Pharr building for some Lazy Dora.  The Pharr building has this open space with a breaker box and old paint and bugs which was perfect for some idiots following an idiot to get in a few reps.

Lazy Dora

• 100 x Australian Mountain Climbers (count both left and right legs, we were running out of time) / Plank
• 150 x Dips / Empty Hammer (cut short after a couple rounds due to time)
• 1 round each partner of Flutters / Wall Sits

Mosey back to the flag, and with 1 minute left

• Burpees til the bell

Not sure where time went, but with Snooze, that seems to be how it goes.  One minute you hear your alarm, next thing you know, you’ve overslept.

Good fellowship and a box checked to start the day.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
