Blast from the Past

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We welcomed two pax from years past and far off locales, Chino Grande and Uncle Sam! Then we got after it.
THE THANG: Based on a late night call from the bullpen by Cake Boss, the plan all along was to include the pax. We did some warmup moseying, then found our way to the far West side of the school and proceeded to follow a pearls-on-a-string path driven by each pax in Fartlek style. Each pax picked a destination, a form of transit and an exercise for the group once we reached the destination. Then he passed the baton to another pax. In each case, the pax shared how long he’s been posting and a bit about what brought him out to F3 and kept him posting. All learned, and all sweated. A good morning with welcome friends! Thanks for the Q stick CB!
COT: Yes! it’s one of the 5 core principles!

Tentatively titled “The Watchmen”.

Partner up for 4 x 4-minute AMRAPs
Burpees: Partners alternate reps
Bear crawl: 1 partner forward, 1 backward (swap at fatigue)
Reverse Burpess: Partners alternate reps
Run: 1 partner forward, 1 backward (swap at fatigue)

Repeat entire circuit.

Moral of the workout? Make sure someone has eyes out when you are in a vulnerable position.

WARMUP: Moseyed out of the parking lot, up the hill, and to the back parking lots across the street. All in cadence, WMx7, 1 Burpee, CPx7, 2 Burpees, HWx7, 3 Burpees, MCx7, 4 Burpees, SSHx10, 5 Burpees
THE THANG: Moseyed to the front of the Pike Electric building to use the short brick wall to hang a leg on.
Thang#1 – Complete rep count of the 1st exercise and then move right into the 2nd exercise. 1 minute intervals with 10-15 second break in between each round. Completed 3 rounds
1st exercise: BSSx10 each leg
2nd exercise: Jump Squats

Moseyed to the big grassy hill in front of Pike Electric.

Thang #2 – BearCrawl 20 paces then switch to CrawlBear for 20 paces. Keep switching every 20 paces until you reach the parking lot at the top. CrawlBearing up that steep hill was a crowd pleaser.

Thang #3 – Stay in the parking lot where we finished our BearCrawl/CrawlBear journey. Instructed PAX to move into the straight arm plank position.
Held plank for 20 seconds then instructed PAX to remove right hand from the ground. Held for the Qs 10 count, back to normal plank and performed PeterParkersx10inCadence. Held plank and asked PAX to remove left hand. Held for the Qs 10 count, back to normal plank and performed ParkerPertersx10inCadence. You get the idea as we proceeded to remove left leg followed by MCx10inCadence and then remove right leg followed by PJx10inCadence.

Moseyed to the HOBO’s parking lot.

Thang #4 – Time under Tension. Partner up. Partner #1 performs 10 merkins while Partner #2 holds 6 inches. At the completion of Partner #1s 10 merkins you switch. Keep switching until you reach an accumulative rep count of 100.

Moseyed to The Print shop pullup bar area.

Thang #5 – Partner up, Partner #1 performs 10 pullups ( max ) and then hangs until Partner #2 completes 20 Step-Ups on the picnic tables. Go back and forth until the team reaches an accumulative rep count of 200 step-ups. Lots of complaining at this point.

Moseyed to the Freedom Park parking lot

Thang #6 – Time under Tension routine again. This time Partner #1 performs 10 straight lower leg lifts while Partner #2 holds 6 inches. Repeat back and forth until an accumulative rep count of 100 is completed.

Moseyed to the small asphalt area in front of Pike Electric building.

Thang #7 – Partner up again. Complete 5 minutes of burpees. Partner #1 completes 1 burpee while partner #2 watches. Then partner #2 completes 1 burpee while partner #1 watches. Go back and forth for 5 minutes. Stole this one from Tesh during his Watchmen themed workout at The Ranch.

Moseyed to the back parking lot where we conducted our warm-ups.

Thang #8 – Time under Tension routine, again. Partner #1 performs 10 jump squats while partner #2 holds the AlGore. Go back and forth until you complete an accumulative rep count of 100.

Moseyed back to COT area

Thang #9 – Instructed PAX to lay down for some Superman poses. Conducted 2 – 10 count sets of each pose. Arms straight and forward and legs together, next pose was arms in field goal position with legs slightly spread apart, next pose was arms in airplane position with legs moved wider apart, next pose was arms in jumper position with legs spread wide apart.

MARY: LBCx20inCadence, 20 Reverse Crunches

WARMUP: windmills, low slow squats, Moroccan nightclubs, windmills
THE THANG: jog down to elementary school loop and find a home along wall. 2 rounds of wall sits and elbow planks. 13s (since it’s Dec 13) was the main course. Bottom of hill 1 merkin, run to top of hill to pull up bars, 13 pull-ups. Back down for 2-11, you know the drill. If you couldn’t do a pull up then 3 second dead hang per pull up. Ended up with 78 pull-ups and pushups. Had time for a quick Mary of leg raises.
