Stone Cold Crazy

Nine men met at the Fort Mill Lowes for 45 minutes of Slow Burn to get ready for the weekend. Here’s what they did:

THE THANG:
The Pax were disclaimed and then mosied around the parking lot until we found a good spot for COP (all in double cadence):
SSX x 20, windmill x 10, cherry picker x 10, merkin x 7, alternate lunge x 10, mountain climber x 15/hold/6″/down dog/up dog, squat x 10, wide arm merkin x 7

Mosey to a new spot for some side shuffles with broad jump burpees and bomb jacks. Pair up with a partner and start on a parking lot line. Side shuffle along a parking lot line, broad jump burpee to the next line, side shuffle along that line, broad jump burpee to the next line, and so forth. Continue with a zig-zag fashion for roughly 10 lines. Follow the same path back to the start, but run backwards, side shuffle, and do 2 bombjacks at each line (crowd pleaser).

Mosey to a new spot for classic Jack Webb 1-8, 4:1 ratio.

Mosey to a new spot for one suicide run with merkins, squats, side straddle hops, and finish with a plank hold.

Mosey to a new spot for Airborne’s killer hip workout

MARY:
Freddie Merc x 15, LBC x 15, American Hammer x 15, Hello Dolly x 15. Finish with the Body Destroyer
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Dam to Dam race registration opens in one week and sells out quickly. Make sure your captain doesn’t miss it.
COT:
Prayers for ST’s friend’s son who was in a serious motorcycle accident and has a serious brain injury and long rehab ahead. Prayers for the people of Isreal, Gaza, and Ukraine.

For whatever reason, Slow Burn has earned a reputation for a lot of mumble chatter and today was no exception. More than once, I had to raise my voice to be heard over all the talking! The chatter started before the workout and continued until the Q finally silenced the Pax for the Body Destroyer at the end of the workout. But, it’s what makes Slow Burn such a fun workout and why it consistently has good attendance every Friday. Well done, men. It was a pleasure this morning!
PS: The title refers to a classic Queen song that was brought up today. Those who don’t know it (if anyone will actually read this backblast) should check it out – if you like Queen, you’ll love this one!
