Tabatas w/ Cindy

WARMUP: BandCamp warmed us up well with Broga, so it was SSH in Cadence x 25 and we were ready.
THE THANG: Took the Tabata theme I Q’d earlier in the week @ Bushwood to Varsity. Sorry Bobber. Since we were at Varsity thought what the hell, let’s throw in exercises with Cindy.

1 Tabata Round = 3 different exercises, 2 sets of each exercise backtoback, and then 1 set of each exercise all the way through for a total of 9 sets. 30 secs on and 10secs of rest = 4 1/2 min of exercise w/ 1 1/2 min of rest.
In between Tabata rounds we went to the pull up bars to monkey around. The flow is below:

1st Tabata Round
1st Exercise: CurltoCleantoPress with Cindy
2nd Exercise: Dead Lifts w/ 3 Rows completed at the bottom of the dead lift before coming back up with Cindy
3rd Exercise: Alt. forward lunge with a full rotational twist ( twist to both sides while holding the lunge position ) with Cindy

1st Pull Up Bar Routine – Challenge to the PAX was to complete the routine without coming off the bar.
1 Pull up – 1 Knee to Chest
1 Pull up – 2 Knees to Chest
1 Pull up – 3 Knees to Chest
1 Pull up – 4 Knees to Chest
1 Pull up – 5 Knees to Chest
1 Pull up
Completed 2 Rounds of the above.

2nd Tabata Round
1st Exercise: Kraken Man Makers – Man Maker performed with 3 block merkins.
2nd Exercise: BigBoy Situp into an American Hammer with Cindy ( At the apex of your BigBoy Situp complete an American Hammer, then come back down )
3rd Exercise: Sumo squats w/ 3 pulses at the bottom with Cindy pressed overhead

2nd Pull Up Bar Routine – Challenged Pax to stay on the bar to complete 1 round.
3 close grip chin ups, walk hands out on the bar to shoulder width apart and then perform 3 reg. chin ups, walk hands out on the bar to a wide grip and then perform 3 wide grip chin ups.
Completed 2 rounds of the above

3rd Tabata Round ( only had time enough to complete 1 set of each exercise )
1st Exercise: Perform a Merkin but hold at 6 inches and complete a Peter Parker, then complete the Merkin.
2nd Exercise: KB swings with Cindy
3rd Exercise: Perform a straight leg lift and hold with legs at apex, with Cindy in hand perform a crunch in an effort to reach your toes, then lower and upper halves come back to rest position ( rest position for lower half is 6 inches – don’t let your feet hit the ground )

MARY: N/A
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Mens’ Shelter 8/4, Final Countdown CSAUP, and probably a few others I forgot
COT: All PAX were asked to give a praise, prayer focused on being grateful to the point that it impacts those around you.

Clovis showed us

WARMUP: à la carte

THE THANG:
150 burpee pull-ups
10 mile run

We broke it into 15 reps, run 1 mile

Barely finished 4 rounds
That was hard.

When I do a hero workout, I remind myself that 2nd Lt. Clovis T. Ray didn’t share how he felt about the conflict he was fighting in. He just did what was asked of him, and wasn’t able to come home.

An honor to lead.

The “McGarry”

This WOD was inspired by my friend and mentor Brendan “Joe” McGarry…he was a legend  in the NYC Transit Police and US Marine Corps . Joe served 6 years in the Marines and 13 months in combat during Vietnam. He joined the transit police in 1972 and served 33 years. He was forced to retire on the heart bill in 2005 due to a heart attack he had driving home from the range after shooting 100. Joe was such the badass that he drove himself to the hospital while having a heart attack. Joe worked on the pile after 9/11 and passed after a long battle with cancer. Joe was a delegate for the command and would always be available for men. He also was a foster parent to over 100 kids over a 28 year period.  Most of the children had physical and mental disabilities.  He was also the drummer in the NYC transit pipe band. Joe will be missed .

The McGarry : Joe’s shield was #4382 33 years of service

We had 5 with rucks and sandbags

WARMUP: SSH , WINDMILLS,  IMPERIAL WALKERS
