WARMUP: started with a mosey around the parking lot. Stopped for some SSH, merkins, squats, mountain climbers, and a little back and hip stretching. Made our way over to grab some cindy’s.
THE THANG: Once we had our new toys, we went to the hill for 11s. Shoulder presses at the top with cindy and bottom of the hill hand release merkins. Pax that finished early did chest presses or picked up Pax and finished with them.

Instead of giving a long disclaimer, I made the mistake of saying this was an old and grizzled group of vets. It pretty much went downhill from there. But in my defense we did average about 50% brace rate (knees, elbows. ankles, etc).
Anyway, short mosey around the lot then circle up for some warmups. Hillbilly walkers, 4 count squats (crowd favorite), mtn climbers, peter parkers, parker peters, MNCs.
Relocate over to near pull up bars. Partner up for lazy dora. 100 merkins: p1 does 10 while p2 holds plank. Switch back and forth until 100. 200 LBCs: p1 does 20 LBCs while P2 does 6″ leg hold. Switch back and forth until 200. 300 squats: p1 does 30 squats while p2 holds Al Gore. Switch back and forth until 300. 400 SSHs: p1 does 40 SSHs while p2 hangs on the pull up bar. Switch back and forth until 400.
I had more planned at front of school but based on time audibled to stay close to start point. Stay with same partner for partner burpees. P1 does burpee, then P2 does burpee, keep swapping back and forth up to 25 total then run to stop sign and back. 4 rounds (100 total). Finished up with 20 big boys and 20 flutters.
We may be old and grizzled but it was a really fun morning. Lots of mumble-chatter seemed to make time fly by. I appreciate all the old and grizzled as well as newer less grizzled guys we have in this group. Thanks Cake Boss for the opportunity to lead!
WARMUP: Mosey to pickup a few cones and headed around the back of the school, with some dynamic warmups (toy soldiers, karaoke) along the way. Stopping stop texting the parking lot in front of the school for some more warmups: SSH, Windmill, Merkins, SSH, Imperial Walkers all 10 count in cadence
THE THANG: Mosey to a corner of the band practice field (parking lot) and provided instruction:
– Burpee Broad Jump 40 yards, sprint to opposite end zone
– Bear crawl from sideline to sideline
– Lunge Walk 49 yards, sprint to opposite end zone
– Bear crawl from sideline to sideline
– Rinse and repeat (reduced burpee broad jumps to 20 yards)
– Rinse and repeat (reduced burpee broad jumps to 10 yards)
– Mosey to first cone for plank waterfall (each PAX completes a 10 count in succession – TapOut is apparently not learning how to count properly in school as his 10 counts last about 48 seconds
– Mosey to the second cone and complete a side plank waterfall (flip in the middle)
– mosey to school entrance looking for cameras to do some monkey humpers – no cameras..no monkey humpers, but we did use the benches for dips, Derkins, step ups and box jumps – all 10 count OYO
– Mosey to side of gym for wall sits and a few 10 counts (yep – TapOut can’t count at a normal speed) and burpees for good measure
-Mosey back to COT (returning the borrowed cones along the way) to run out the clock doing some Mary (flutters, weezie Jefferson’s, and the crowd fav: body destroyers)
MARY: see above
