Potpourri of Pain

Leave a comment

WARMUP: windmill, arm circles, merkins, mountain climbers
THE THANG: mosey to pull up bars.  5 sets – counts of 5,4,3,2 and 1 with 5 merkins in between each set of pull-ups.  Mosey back to parking lot and pick up coupons.  Form a line.  One person used the sand bag and performed 25 squats and functioned as the timer.  Remaining pax performed the following exercises:
Merkins
Dips
Carolina Dry Docks
Squats
Calf raises
Alternating lunges
Single Leg Deadlifts

After the above exercises were done, we took a lap, came back and changed coupon to the kettlebell. While one PAX performed 20 curls, remaining PAX worked through the exercise set listed above. Took another and came back to the wall for some air chair and balls to wall. Formed back on the line and did 100 yd sprints with 1 min of plank between each sprint.
MARY: 3 min of Ab work and finished with my hip exercises.

Kriss Kross beatdown

Leave a comment

Before starting I gave the standard disclaimer, but also proceeded to tell the Pax that we will be running backwards the entire workout which was also why I showed up with my shirt on backwards. Band Camp thought I just did that by mistake.

WARMUP:
Nur up to stop sign and did the following:
SSH
Windmill
Down dog, honeymooner
Merkins

Keep nuring down the hill toward pull up bars
Stopped again halfway down
Squats
Something else that I don’t remember

Stopped again at the bottom
Stretched out the arms
Moroccan Night Club
Nur

Pull-up bars are now locked up to my surprise so we modified thanks to Bobber. YHC decided we would just continue to make a large loop around the school stopping along the way to do the following exercises

5 burpees
10 LBCs
10 jump squats
10 merkins
7 leg raises
10 Dips

I believe we stopped 8 times completing all exercises each time.

This wasn’t the easiest thing to do especially the last two legs of the run. Pax covered over 1 mile all backwards. Good work men. Let’s see how we feel in the morning.
