I am always looking for opportunities to push myself out of the ordinary and this was no exception, thanks to Jiffy for hosting the black diamond series of events at The Ranch, this time I put together a simple routine but hard enough to have everyone engaged for the majority of the time.
We started the day with a disclaimer with no FNG’s, then we moseyed around the parking lot for the warm up:
Windmills,
cherry pickers,
moroccan night clubs,
low slow squats,
low slow merkins
We moseyed around the side and back of school about 1/3 of a mile to meet a row of cinder blocks at the back entrance of the middle school, toy soldiers, butt kickers, high knees and NUR were included in the run.
The thang, ALL exercises had to be done with cindy:
10 man makers
push cindy 20 yards bear crawl style
10 flutters
push cindy 20 yards hairburner style
10 squats
push cindy 20 yards bear crawl style
10 big boy sit ups
push cindy 20 yards hairburner style
10 biceps curls
push cindy 20 yards bear crawl style
10 american hammers
push cindy 20 yards hairburner style
10 overhead press
push cindy 20 yards bear crawl style
10 bent over row
push cindy 20 yards hairburner style
10 triceps extensions.. rinse and repeat starting with man makers
Lots of mumble chatter, it was a crisp 28 degrees but most PAX decided to shred a layer or two of clothes since we were all sweating buckets (especially me) it was a non stop series of exercises and all PAX pushed really hard to stay together. GREAT WORK EVERYONE!! We were able to complete 2 full circuits and the third circuit we cut down on the block pushing and only did all exercises one more time:
10 man makers
10 flutters
10 squats
10 big boy sit ups
10 biceps curls
10 american hammers
10 overhead press
10 bent over row
10 triceps extensions
With about 10 minutes to spare it was time to go back to COT, we carried all blocks back to the truck, about 1/3 of a mile taking turns since we had 12 blocks and only 7 PAX.
We circled up for announcements, prayers and praises and ended our journey with a ball of men and the Q’s prayer.
Till we meet again, Tinsel out….
