Potpourri of Pain

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.

In Honor Of September, 11, 2001

WARMUP: All PAX but Shield dropped in the plank with their ears wide open to listen to our brother Shield share his experience as an NYPD officer on 9/11/2001. This included the names of a few of Shield’s fallen brothers. Some of us have been fortunate enough to hear him talk about that day but every time I hear it, I take away something new. This morning was no different.
Following the plank, we mentioned a few numbers of significance for the PAX to think about:
9 & 11: This was obvious
22: Years since that day 22yrs ago
100: The number of days Ground Zero in NY smoldered
ALL PAX 100 Side Straddle Hops (50 in cadence) & 22 Burpees

THE THANG: Grab your bell and meet over by Clickbait’s trailer where we had more gear. Everyone has a weight of some kind for the following 9 exercises:
11x Kettle Bell Swings
11x Thrusters
11x Goblet Squats
11x Bent Over Rows
11x Overhead Tricep Extensions
11x Big Boy Sit-ups w/ Weight
11x Bicep Curls
11x Standing Lunges
11x Overhead Press

We went through these 9 exercises one more time and occasionally modified the cadence.

In groups of 4, we all got to experience the 200lb sand bags for 4 reps, taking the bag from the hips, to the shoulders, to an overhead position, back to the shoulders and finally, back to the hips. If we weren’t on the 200lb sand bag, we did the same evolution with our own coupon.

Then, back to 22 Side Straddle Hops & 11 Burpees.

MARY: Throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Lots in the newsletter & THE BLOOD DRIVE
