Yinz going DahnTawn N’AT?

Leave a comment

When called to lead by a fellow yinzer…. You answer the call. The standard is the standard after all.

Disclaimer

Warmup:

8 Manmakers every minute on the minute for 5 minutes

Began the long mosey.

3 rounds of 18 Minutes.

For each 18 Minute round we would stop and do reps of an exercise. The number of reps was equal to the minute in the round. So after minute 1 we did 1 merkin after minute 2 we did 2 merkins etc..etc…
As the reps progressed it definitely got harder and the chatter got less.

Round 1: Merkins
Round 2: Squats
Round 3: Hammers ( In the interest of time and to ensure that we got back to COT on time we just walked most of this but did get hammers in at the very end)

All in we got over 170 Squats and Merkins in plus Manmakers and hammers.

Thanks to Sprocket for the call! Always happy to support a fellow Yinzer!

Take care and until next time……N’at.

WARMUP: Some SSH, Windmills, Moroccan Night Clubs, Imperial Walkers & Hillbilly Walkers

THE THANG:

Mosey over to the side of Harris Teeter and use there giant wall for a little work. Everyone grabbed a seat against it and had a 10 count waterfall kick us off down the line. We followed this up by a plank series with our feet on the wall (parallel, 45 degrees & B2W) 10 count at each. It was all so much fun we did it again.

Mosey back to the parking lot and completed a round of solo DORA style work. 100 merkins, 200 squats, 300 LBC. Run to the end of the lot and back whenever you were unable to continue or at least ever 1/4 of the set.

Once this was completed we continued to a board of pain for the final 10 minutes. Exercises were completed by all with a PAX in the center of the circle being the timer completing 10 man makers with a toss of the 30lb sandbag over the shoulder each time. We got through:

-Donkey Kicks
-Mountain Climbers
-SSH
-Flutter
-Plank Jack
-High Knees
-Lunges

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Attend the Cannoli Run or answer to Twister…

WARMUP: SSH, IW, HW, Shoulder Tap, MC, Peter Parker’s, yoga

THE THANG: Mosey around and hit some BLIMPS
5 burpees
10 lunges
15 Imperial Walkers
20 Merkins
25 Plank Jacks
30 Squats (sometimes Bulgarian Split Squats when we found picnic tables)

MARY: a bit of core interspersed, but not much. Quack Attack would not have approved

NMM: every PAX shared their biggest work failures. Grateful to hear how successful men have messed up. Even the “goo” culture shares our successes, but sharing our failures keeps us from feeling so alone when we screw up. Thanks to everyone for their vulnerability. As IJ said in COT, a failure is just a waypoint to someplace better. Let’s stay after it.
