Bucco Fever!!!

It’s a great Monday here in the Gloom as America’s team; the Pittsburgh Pirates are currently in first place. Much like a solar eclipse or Haley’s comet this is a rare occurrence so YHC busted out the Bucco gear for todays workout.

Warmup: None it’s STL

The Thang:

Starting at the stop sign closest to COT we did 1 burpee

Then ran to the parking lot for Southern State Bank where we did 4 HR Merkins and 4 LBC’s.

Wash, rinse repeat the route increasing the burpee count by 1 each lap and the Merkin and LBC counts by a factor of 4.

1 x 4
2 x 8
3 x 12
4 x 16
5 x 20
6 x 24
7 x 28
8 x 32
9 x 36
10 x 40

The route was roughly .4 miles total so a decent run in between the pain stations. Also featured was an “acceleration whistle” so when I would blow the whistle everyone would have to sprint for 10 seconds. Just to make sure everyone keeps pushing.

That said I’m confident that everyone got to at least round 7 which means everyone got between 3-4 miles in with well over 150 Merkins/LBC’s. (plus burpees!)

Always honored to lead thanks to Badlands for the call.

Take care everyone!

Yinz going DahnTawn N’AT?

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.

Who need AKA?

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
