Bucco Fever!!!

It’s a great Monday here in the Gloom as America’s team; the Pittsburgh Pirates are currently in first place. Much like a solar eclipse or Haley’s comet this is a rare occurrence so YHC busted out the Bucco gear for todays workout.

Warmup: None it’s STL

The Thang:

Starting at the stop sign closest to COT we did 1 burpee

Then ran to the parking lot for Southern State Bank where we did 4 HR Merkins and 4 LBC’s.

Wash, rinse repeat the route increasing the burpee count by 1 each lap and the Merkin and LBC counts by a factor of 4.

1 x 4
2 x 8
3 x 12
4 x 16
5 x 20
6 x 24
7 x 28
8 x 32
9 x 36
10 x 40

The route was roughly .4 miles total so a decent run in between the pain stations. Also featured was an “acceleration whistle” so when I would blow the whistle everyone would have to sprint for 10 seconds. Just to make sure everyone keeps pushing.

That said I’m confident that everyone got to at least round 7 which means everyone got between 3-4 miles in with well over 150 Merkins/LBC’s. (plus burpees!)

Always honored to lead thanks to Badlands for the call.

Take care everyone!

Munitions Work

Three pax posted at the Fort.
Started with a run down the trail to Harris St park (~1/2mi).
The 6@6 ruckers came around the corner upon our arrival at the park, so we all joined up for a warmup:
SSHs, windmills, imperial walkers, Moroccan n/c, Low slow squats, big arm circles, peterparkers, plank stretches.
Ruckers left and we three went to the basketball court:
Thang1: Relays: 20 mountain climbers at the baseline, run to ½ court and do 30 mountain climbers, run back to baseline, run to far court and do 40 mtn climbers, tun back to baseline.
Thang 2: at benches: step ups (10 each leg), incline merkins (12 I/C), dips (12 I/C), butt touch squats (12), decline merkins (10 I/C), calf raises (15).
Next we ran down Harris St to Massey, and Massey up to Pike’s large parking lot (~0.7mi).
Thang 3: Munitions factory: pax do low plank for 1 min (this is home), then bear crawl about 100 yards (this is your commute), then do work at your factory making BOMBS (pax do 25 each of: burpees, OH claps, merkins, big boy sit ups, squats), then commute back home doing a nur, then low plank again for 1 min.
Next we ran down to White St and over to McCannon to the side parking lot at Springs.
Thang 4: fish tracks: pax do transportation movement until Q says halt and do exercise noted. We did: toy soldiers – bobby hurleys; bear crawls – merkins; lunge walks – smurf jacks (sneaky quad buster).
Then to Thang 4: wall work: Wall sits (with pax doing consecutive 10 counts; repeat), and then balls to the wall contest (go until pax drop).
Next run back to shovel flag for some mary…we did the Sally (Moby’s Flower) routine where leg raises for “bring sally up” and 6 inch leg hold on “bring sally down”.
Fini, COT.
Prayers for travel and marriages and families.
