Accelerating via pyramids

7 #HIM braved the rain (which subsided nicely around 0515) and joined YHC at Laces In for a little of this and a little of that – partner work was done and many burpees were a part of the weinke.  Here’s what we did:

COT – Mosey to the top of the Hill at the 21 entrance to the High School.  From there, we circled up to do Low slow squats, holding to a people’s chair and doing Moroccan Night Clubs and Air Presses in cadence while in the people’s chair.  A few burpees were done in between some of the exercises which included Imperial walkers, hillbilly walkers and merkins – all in cadence and double count.  After getting warmed up, we moseyed back to the band lot for the main event – partner pyramid work.  During our trip, we passed Stang, Da Vinci and Cornerstone in the midst of their ruck.

None of the PAX present posted at golden corral for YHC’s Tuesday Q – therefore, the pyramid was new to all present.  We combined DORA, pearls on a string and pyramid work.  Partner 1 started at the 10 yard line doing 10 burpees while partner 2 ran to the opposite goal line and back.   When Partner 2 returned, partners switched off and partner 2 picked up where partner 1 left off.  Here was that pyramid:

10 yard line – 10 burpees

20 yard line – 10 burpees, 20 squats

30 yard line – 10 burpees, 20 squats, 30 merkins

40 yard line – 10 burpees, 20 squats, 30 merkins, 40 flutters

50 yard line – 10 burpees, 20 squats, 30 merkins, 40 flutters, 50 jump squats

40 yard line – 40 flutters, 30 merkins, 20 squats, 10 burpees

30 yard line – 30 merkins, 20 squats, 10 burpees

20 yard line – 20 squats, 10 burpees

10 yard line – all PAX did 10 burpees OYO but together to finish out the set

a 10 count was called and we moseyed to the benches near the gym entrance for:

10 dips double count in cadence

10 flutters double count in candence

Mosey to the base of the hill near the stadium for interval work.

PAX did 2 rounds for 90 seconds per round – A round consisted of 45 seconds of burpees and 45 seconds of lunge walks up the slope.

Mosey back to COT – for geometry class – ab work via the protractor – PAX held at varying degrees for 15-20 seconds.  2.3 miles  and 45 minutes later, 0600 was upon us.
