For the 2nd week of The Colosseum, 21 of The Fort’s finest joined YHC at GHMS for an 0515 launch of the newest AO. One big difference this week was Rooney took care of us and ensured we didn’t roll any ankles by hitting the lights for us. I know there are a lot of guys posting here that usually post at other AO’s so make sure we EH the FNGs. There is still come confusion on where to park so here it is, PARK AT THE FRONT OF THE SCHOOL.

After a 2min delay, a short disclaimer and a couple folks gettin’ their cars on two wheels coming around the corner, we were off for a short jog to one of the back parking lots.

Circle Up
SSH / Squat Jack / Squat / Moroccan Night Club / 8ct Body Builders….great warmup

Mosey to the Playground & split into 3 groups:
1: 10 Pull Ups 2: 15 Swing Crunches 3: 20 Diamond Merkins
Everyone cycle through and….REPEAT

Mosey to the football field to relive the glory days. We were all-state athletes in our day.
Line up in the end zone. Toy Soldiers for 25yds, Sprint 50yds, Toy Soldiers 25yds.
Grab a partner for some running and stuff. Size doesn’t matter.
Partner 1 runs 100yds while partner 2 does exercise. When partner 1 reaches the other end, he continues the exercise and partner 2 runs down. Continue till the you complete the required number.
Exercise 1: 50 Turkish Get-ups (audibled from 100 since time was getting away from me)
Exercise 2: 100 Merkins (Again, audibled off the wienkie)
Exercise 3: Not enough time, I’ll keep that one in the bag for now.

Line up in the end zone again and Duck Walk 30yds. We really need to bring this exercise back ’cause a few folks were deer in headlights.
Line up shoulder to shoulder for TUNNEL OF LOVE….Crowd Pleaser
Had to finish this off with a little Gator Merkin for about 15yds or so. I had to keep reminding myself that if you can’t Q it, don’t do it. I might have modified that a little.

Mosey back to the launch site for some final Russian Twists
