THE THANG:
A little smorgasbord. Initial bulk was laps around the front of the middle school with:

Then we went backwards so the speed bumps were closer and reverse bear crawled up the hill from the lowest point.

While we were at the wall we did BTTW with upside down shoulder taps and merkins in cadence

Went to the teacher parking lot in the back and did a long bear crawl. Then some Lt. Dan’s

Hit the elementary playground for some pull-ups and burpees. Tried to work in a partner balance and one handed hanging on the bar, but
it was a smashing failure. So, we ran back towards COT and stopped for Bulgarian Split Squats along the way.

Staying Warm at The Ranch

WARMUP: SSHx30InCadence, run to the front of the school with buttkickers, high knees, and karoake on both sides.
THE THANG: Arrived at the front of the school after warmups and quickly started to work.
Round #1 – 4 sets – Leg Day HIIT – Complete rep count of 1st exercise and then move right into the 2nd exercise and continue until time is called. Each set is 1 minute with 10sec of rest after the 1st set, then 15sec after the 2nd, and so on.
1st exercise was BSSx10 each leg
2nd exercise was Alt Jumping Lunges

After 4 sets were completed of the above we moseyed to one of the back parking lots behind the school.
Round #2 – Started on one end of the lot and made it to the other end by bearcrawling 2 spaces forward- stop to perform 2 Diamond Merkins, then crawlbear one space back and perform 1 Diamond Merkin. Lots of grumbling as it was a longer parking lot than I remembered.
After completion of the above we moseyed to the playground Round #3 – Performed same routine as the 1st round but with different exercises.
1st exercise – 10xPullups
2nd exercise – V-Ups
After completion of the above we moseyed to the backside bus loop. Split the group into 3s.
Round #4 – Half the circle by placing 2 PAX on both sides, they both start to perform burpees. 3rd PAX on the team runs from PAX#1 to PAX#2. When he reaches PAX#2 the 3rd PAX stays put and starts to perform burpees while PAX#2 runs to PAX#1. Performed this routine for 7 minutes.

Photobombed Selfie

Attendance was light today. Sawdust is still nursing an injury, so he does his own thing. But it is important to point out that he is still posting! Maximus and Mainframe have signed themselves up for some next level stupid this weekend. So their plan was to stretch and move around a little to stay on taper. That left YHC and Photobomb for the standard Ranch content of the day.

WARMUP:
Moving warmup.
– Mosey to small drop off circle and complete 25 SSH in cadence and 10 windmill in cadence
– Mosey past the playground to the large parking lot. Complete 10 Imperial Walkers in cadence and stretch out the hamstrings (was a little tight after Kitchen Sink)

THE THANG:
Mosey to the back of the Home bleachers.
Ladder:
– 9 pull-ups on the bleachers
– Run to the second light pole on the right in the parking lot
– 1 rep of either a flying squirrel with a plank jack (YHC and bad shoulder) or a Burpee (PhotoBomb)
– Run back to the bleachers and continue the ladder series

Had some shenanigans planned for the field, but those involved some things not ideal for Photobomb’s back issues, so we audibled.

Mosey back to the starting parking lot where we found the rest of the PAX in some strange positions. We stopped short because we didn’t want to get too close.

100 squats together. One guy squats while the other ran the parking lot. 2 laps each and then we switched to a bear crawl chase. One PAX bear crawls while the other runs the loop until they catch the bear crawler and they switch. Remember the bad shoulder, yeah dumb idea.

MARY:
Took turns calling Mary for the final 5 minutes

Thank you Mainframe for the opportunity. One of my favorite AOs!!
