Break Time at Golden Corral

We started the beautiful morning with a nice mosey around the dumpsters.  Thankfully, the one in the back had the aroma we were looking for.  Oh, the memories.

Circle Up:

10 Merkins, 20 Windmills,  15 CDD, 12 Cherry Perkins, 10 Mountain Climbers, 10 Parker Peters and 10 Peter Parkers.

Mosey to the front for some circle of Abs.

Low and behold her come the Ruckers and they needed some men to help them carry their coupons.  We joined them and did some Ruck Pushups, Coupon carries with shoulder press and squats and some Burpees.  We then carried the coupons to Napa where we parted ways.

We had an AMLAPs with 10 burpees, 20 CDD, 30 Squats, 40 LBC/Hello Dolly, 30 lunges, 20 Merkins and 10 Bomb Jacks then a lap.

Once finished we mosey to COT and ended with some boats and canoes, Cha Cha Planks, Windshield Wipers and X-O’s.

Good time was had by all.

Keep the Change Orders in your prayers.

For those who chose to fartsack, shame on you. For those who posted elsewhere this morning smart choice. We ran to back parking lot for a quick COP then went right into the pain. At bottom of entrance to GHMS we would run to the first light pole: 5 squats and 10 merkins; run back to starting point. Then run to next light pole and do same exercises.  Run back to starting point. Run to the next light pole, and so forth till you ran to each light pole up to Dam Road. I call is Lights to Heaven.

It sure felt like I was going to heaven with the loss of oxygen.

thanks Shower Curtain for opportunity.

The Slo-burn climbed a ladder or two

14 Pax accelerated into the weekend with a workout plan that offered Jacob’s Ladder, 5 of Diamonds, and a Ladder that offered burpees, Donkey Kicks, BigBoys, BombJax, and Squats.

We began the beatdown with a slow mosey that would keep the group close together and offered up some mumble chatter on the lack of ground covered with this small lap.

The group circled up for some warm-up :

SSH, Squats, Merkins, Cherry Pickers, Moroccan Night Clubs, and some stretching.  The group quickly transitioned into two rounds of a 1-minute HIIT – 10X Merks, 10XSquats, and 10x LBCs.

After the warm-up  – we partnered up with Jacobs ladder using partner merkins and partner big boys. Each rep was completed simultaneously by each partner w a hand slap for accountability.  Partner Merkins with a mosey to another side of the parking lot for the Big Boys.

Once completed, we transitioned into a modified 7 of Diamonds, ( 5 reps was the factor)  -four corners were the destination.  ( 5, 10, 15, 20 ) Round 1 – 5 Bobby Hurleys at each corner. Round two offered 10 Merks at each corner, round three offered 15 squats at each corner.  We kept the group together by adding cadence w volunteer (voluntold) random pax leading the count.  The mode of transportation was greeted w some groans from the group.  Mosey, bear-crawl, NUR, and modified lunges took us between the 4 corners.  The Pax finished the round with Flounder taking control and offering a modified version to keep the Pax guessing…..

As time was quickly passing, the men moseyed down a slight incline to be greeted with the uphill ladder as the final round.  The ladder contained 9 squats at the bottom rung, followed by 5 burpees, 6 Donkey Kicks, 7 Big Boys, and 8 Bomb Jax.

We headed back to COT for a 5 min round of Mary to close out the day.  Shout out to Change Order for breaking out the Boat/Canoe which was greeted by a time check request and more mumble chatter (or groaning)

Prayers were offered for upcoming Graduation, travels, marriages, surgeries, and overall blessing for the group.

Nice work!!

New perspectives

20 Goofballs – increasing the pace to ludicrous speed by rep 20

10 merkins

shoulder taps – 5 each side

another 10 count

get off the wall

 

20 merkins

10 wall walks with a merkin

while holding people’s chair, leapfrog x2

Duck walks round 1 to really get after the quads

Crab walks round 2

 

Balls to the wall

10 Hand stand pushups – preferably without smashing your face on the sidewalk

optionally Carolina dry docks – know your limits here

 

Mozey to the other side of the parking lot near the Indian restaurant

 

Part 2 – The Pain

AMRAP (15 minutes)

5 burpees every minute on the minute

20 Squats

20 Lunges (10 each leg)

10 Diamond merkins

Bear crawl to other side and repeat

 

Part 3 – The calm before the storm

10ish minute AMRAP

20 Mountain climbers

20 LBCs

20 Flutters

10 Box cutters

skip to the other side

 

Part 4 – The Finisher

3 minute AMRAP – This is a sprint

10 jump squats

10 jump lunges (5 each leg)
