Sharks and Minnows at The Block Party

Lots of dudes showed up to the Pond Party this morning .
Pledge..Let's go
First stop, The Pharmacy for SSHs and a couple burpees
Next Stop, New parking lot, Old Hardee's
10 merkins, 10 Squats, 10 LBCs.
Partner up with like speed so you and partner arrive at the destination at same time. I didn't do a good job explaining this, no worries we made it safely to the Post Offices
Same exercises, back to the parking lot, same exercises with partner dips and merkins until six arrives.
Next, we ran to the First Baptist Church parking lot. I did my best to describe this workout as the merkin mile, 20 merkins at each island, each lap, 5 laps = 1 mile. Once complete, we did the same routine swapping out the merkins for squats and LBCs.
Back to COT
Prayers for Wegmans Boston Marathon adventure.

Little bit more

Arrived on the scene early so I could mosey around the grounds and firm up my plans for the workout. Good thing to because during the pre-mosey had to alter my route and hit the gas station to make a deposit. Left feeling a little lighter and made it back to COT with a couple minutes to spare. Go time baby ( for the 2nd time )!

WARMUP: Recently posted at a Slapshot Q so borrowed this one from him. If you read this @UQ50TPDLH just know I had to 1 up you my friend by adding a rep, because 6 is not good enough man, we needed 7 reps ( SomethingAboutMary reference-hahaha ). Below was done at COT:
5 min EMOM
7 HR Merkins
7 Squats
7 Burpees

THE THANG: After the warm-up was complete we moseyed around Harris Teeter parking lot and traveled to the back of the store making it all the way around to the backside of Red Bowl where we found a strip of parking spaces to perform our Paula Abdul routine.
Bear Crawl 2 parking space lines forward, complete 2 merkins
Crawl Bear 1 parking space line backward, complete 1 merkin
Started from an island and the finish line was the next island. Mainframe finished first and ended the misery for the rest of us.
Upon completion asked the PAX to perform 1 set of Merkins to failure. Everyone shared their number, again, Mainframe was the King, that dude is a beast.

From the backside of Red Bowl we traveled across the street to the church where there is a nice, covered area with plenty of benches. Time to trash the legs.
PAX were asked to complete 15-10-5 reps – each leg – of the following exercises: Step-ups & BSSs
Upon completion we partnered up to spend some time under tension.
1 partner holds Al Gore while the other partner completes 10 jump squats. Keep trading places until you complete an accumulative rep count of 100 jump squats.

From there we moseyed back to the main grounds area and found a smooth surface near a set dumpsters ( can't remember the store next to the dumpsters ). Perfect for a Jack Webb core routine.
1 count exercise was BBSs
4 count exercise was Flutter Kicks ( count 1 leg )
1 count completes at 10 and 4 count completes at 40.
Upon completion asked the PAX to hold a 2 minute high plank.

From there needed to kill 2 minutes so we moseyed around the Harris Teeter parking lot and back to COT right on time. Theme of this workout was to give a little more when you already completed a difficult task. The little more you have to give is not for yourself, but for those who count on you, who need you. You always have a little bit left in the tank to give gents!

MARY: No time for her!
