10×10 and Hard Part of Massey

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Quick run up to Hobo’s for some warm-up of a few SSH, IWs, and Mountain Climbers. Most down to the mill stone at the bottom of Main to find the 10×10 board waiting.

THE THANG:
The 10×10 board.
1. Shoulder Taps
2. Squats
3. Mountain Climbers
4. Seal Jacks
5. Hello Dollys
6. Plank Jacks
7. Bomb Jacks
8. Merkins
9. LBCs
10. Burpees

We started with 10 of #1, then ran to the top of Massey, did 1 burpee, then returned to the board. Next round 10 of #1, and 10 of #2, then ran to the top of Massey for 1 burpee (not 2). Continued accumulation until we got through the last item on the board.

That’s all we had time for. Excellent work by all men. Thanks for the opportunity to lead, Cubbie!

Staying warm

Leave a comment

Yog a lap then circle up for usual stretchy warm up exercises. Yog down to behind school for some wall qork. Everyone get in peoples chair qhile one by one PAX bear crawl to other end. Next series was broad jumps. Next was 11s. Start on one end of gym with 1 bomb jack and run to other side for 10 seal jacks. 2-9, 3-8 etc. Finished in middle. Next was pax picks. One guy calls an exercise and runs to other side of bridge and back while other PAX do the exercise called. First round was mostly your basics. Second round we had to use the bench so derkins, step ups, butt touch squats, etc. Finished up and moseyed around school. Stop for 354, 3 exercises, 5 reps each, 4 rounds. First series was merkins, squats, big boys. Moseyed some more and stopped for another series: CDDs, mtn climbers, and flutters. Moseyed again and one more series of diamond merkins, SSHs, and v ups.
